Pumpkin week 5; she's a cuddly baby

                                   Our puppy, Pumpkin, is growing and is a fun ball of energy.

HBO is running 2 very good specials about the life and career of Frank Sinatra for his 100th birthday in December 2015.

Sinatra was a singer back in the days when an entertainer had to have talent. Boy could he sing. He lived to be 82. Nicknamed Chairman of the Board as a leader of the Rat Pack--a group of entertainers who played in Vegas. He did it His Way.

Frank Sinatra would be 100 this year

Friends of the Library Used Book Sale Will be here before you know it. May 29 is the first day.

One of the best events in Knoxville.

IF you have never been, make plans and GO this year.

For the first time it will be held at Bearden High School.

One of the main problems with this event has always been PARKING and being able to get near enough to the front door to load books. The committee listened and made a new arrangement this year. The new site should take care of the PARKING and loading/unloading problem.

Congratulation to Pyrex----100 years old.

I'd say it would be difficult to find a kitchen in America that does not have at least one Pyrex dish in it. Yay for Pyrex.

I collect Pyrex. My trick is to only pay a few dollars for special pieces.

I love the pink baking dish; it is almost square. We use the 6 ounce pudding cups the most as my son enjoys putting sauces in them. I bought the measuring cup for 50 cents at a thrift store. Glad they did not know what they had. I also bought the small red bowls for $2 each. I have 2 of them. I most recently bought the white bowl with green design for $3; it has a clear lid not shown in this photo. I have many more pieces, but these are a few to show the variety. Of course I have many clear pie plates and baking dishes and one loaf pan/dish.
