Pickle Ladies continued.......

Well, Well, Well she finally did it! A little shame goes along way!! What are sisters for if not to put them in their place, especially the BABY!!!!

I laughed myself silly when I got Anne's email, I was in the pedicure chair! I had to tell Bonnie, the nail tech, the whole pickle story and then we laughed together, because she too has sisters!! Hey if Debbie Fields and Famous Amos can make their millions on cookies why can't pickles be our mode of transportation.....I must admit shopping with a white chocolate chip macadamia nut cookie is preferable to a pickle!!!

HOWEVER, if you don't try we will never know!!!!

I will be posting pictures of the pickles as soon as I get my charger.....

P.S. If none of this makes sense, read my very first post and then go to SandApipe.blogspot.com
and remember the REAL order number is 801-280-8500

Thinking, Speaking, Editing

Ok here I go again...

The name of my blog will come as no suprise to those of you who know me in the slightest!!

"Melissa, remember dear think before you speak" was not only the directive I received from by mother almost everyday of my life, it has become adult mantra. As evidence to this wise motherly advise my first blog had to be re-re-edited by my, very patient and kind partner.

The humor was not lost on me, Anne or Deb!!!

What if......

Grandma what if we were all water and swam with the dolphins and whales?

Grandma what if we were robots, Grandma how do you make robots?

Grandma what if we were in Heaven?

Grandma what if..........

Warren spent our car rides today pondering the "what if's" of the world. I am constantly amazed at how their little minds work!!!

Today Deb finished a phone call and Warren could tell she was upset so he gave her his 5 year old advice: "Debbie, you can take a deep breath and count to 10 that will help you feel better". Warren then proceeded to tell Deb that she didn't have to close her eyes and began counting outloud with her. Afterwards he asked her "Debbie don't you feel better?" After we smiled at each other "Debbie" declared that she felt "much better"

I absolutely love these kids!!!!

What if being a Grandma was the best thing in the whole world!!!!!

Pickle Ladies

Well here it goes!!! My little sister, Anne Hickman Pipe (801-280-8500, you'll need her number later on in my tirade!!)

I must admit that it was my idea in the first place, she just said she would blog about it and never did!!! ( this is what you call payback!!!)

I had the 'brain fart" in July that we, Anne and I, should make our Grandmother Hickman's sweet pickles to sell.   I must add she agreed to it, she just didn't know that I was going to follow through with the hair brained scheme.   I surprised even myself!!!  Well, to make a long story very short I've got loads of sweet pickles in my basement.   Did I say loads?  

Yup I said loads,

not just sweet ones, mustard's too.....Oh and by the way, they are delicious just ask any Hickman!!!

Well now comes the need for number.  Call Anne to order your pickles for next year or, if you want some now call her.   Call Anne and ask her about not keeping her promises or just call her anytime, she loves it when she gets calls early a.m.!!! (just kidding about the early calls)
