I wanted to drink out of a pineapple before summer ends!

I wanted to drink out of a pineapple before summer ends!
I bought this pineapple cutter for 50 cents at a sale and the Pineapple was on sale!!!

Over ripe Pineapple
it cut rings which would've been not as mushy if it wasnt over ripe, boy were they tasty!!!

Cocktail animals, mermaids and Men
Target had the cocktail animals years ago and the girls night out cocktail men were in the dollar spot years ago too, its for girls night out OR boys depending on who you are......

Finished
I had oversized umbrellas and I put the assorted monkeys, mermaids and men...I just had Hawaiian punch with the juice from the pineapple, no alcohol, I had none in the house

Yumm!!!!
Yummmy!!! goes good with a fez, and me being a big tiki person, I am sorry to say its my frist time drinking from a pineapple!!!!

I love the way the Antenna looks

Antenna on our house
its a rental so it has this and a satellite dish and tons of wires from may cable TVs, I think its cool, it reminds me of the past!!!!

Carl..the snail

My 4 year old nephew wanted fish as a pet, they got him 4 small fish and a plant, My sister named the fish, Huey, Dewey, Louie and Stewie

A snail hitched a ride on the plant, I was on the phone with my sister when she told me.

I ask "What is the snails name?"

She asks my 4 year old nephew in the background and I hear a small voice quickly say "Carl"

so his name is Carl...........................

Got Country?

For people throughout the United States, do they have country music radio stations where you live????

My Niece who is from NY and moved to Florida 6 years ago said that the radio stations are the same as here except they have Country Music stations.

In the Tri state area(downstate and all around Manhattan & suburbs) there are none, I think they tried it once in the 80's, maybe 90's but it didn't last......I am not sure if they every had any others...
