‘life’s a picnic’ day

Add comment June 13th, 2008

when the city of rockford declared “picnic” day as part of green community week, it probably didn’t foresee such a gloomy day. but here are your suggestions.

– have a picnic with your friends or family.

– visit a rockford area park or arboretum, take a walk, tour your neighborhood. (for example, try rockford park district, belvidere park district, winnebago county forest preserves, klehm or anderson gardens.)

– turn off the tv, computer and video games. enjoy the great outdoors!

hey, big tuna!

thursday was my fifth day without cow, pig or bird. it turned out to be a tuna day: tuna salad for lunch and tuna patties for supper (consisting of tuna, egg, lemon juice, garlic, garlic salt, pepper and crackers).

all of that tuna reminded me of how andy on ”the office” calls jim “big tuna.”
