Hey Grandpa, What's for Supper
Were havin fried chicken so crisp and hot,
With tatters and gravy make sure and take a lot.
There’s green beans and fatback and biscuits with butter,
And cold cold milk, straight from the udder.
And fer desert, get ya some pie,
There’s sweet tater, apple and of course yer favorite shoo-fly.
YUMMMM YUMMMMM
Hee Haw was one of my father’s favorite shows. He loved it for the ummmmmmm music.
Or so he said.
This morning, I was thinking about what to have for supper. A couple of things came to mind. First there was some chicken in the refrigerator but I remembered Salmonella and decided not to fix that. I bought a beef roast yesterday but now I am having second thoughts because of possible Mad Cow Disease. I could always make a salad but we might get e-coli from the lettuce. Ok the only thing left is water but with all the mercury and arsenic in water these days, maybe I will just sit quietly and breathe. I just hope there isn’t a smog alert.
Then I thought why not just go out for dinner. There are two restaurants only a few miles (10) from our house and we could go there. However the first is a Chinese restaurant and we might catch Bird Flu and the second is a Mexican restaurant and we might catch Swine Flu. So even if we were to make it through traffic without getting killed and even if we didn’t get some kind of food poisoning, we run the risk of getting one of these flu’s. Is Mutton ok to eat these days? We are running out of options.
News flash: You are going to die one day and there is nothing you can do about it. So live your life, be thankful for the little things, have faith, and prepare for your life in heaven. There is hope and OUR HOPE ENDURES. <<<< Click on the link.
Have a Blessed Weekend,

So right in what you said!!!
I love your post today. So true - worry, worry.
**off topic** Your gray hair looks great. Men with gray are distinquished or dignified. Women with gray are called old hags. Life is not fair. :-) Have a great weekend.
You could catch some fish for dinner, but they probably are filled with mercury. *sigh*
Congrats! You are the winner at Pam Warden Art. Please email an address to me.
P.S. I have a slightly cool Hee Haw story from back in my country/bluegrass musician days. But, instead of playing with their fiddle player Jana J, I got saved, quit the road, and now I paint :) But I was ()that close!
Blessings,
Pam
And don't forget to wash your hands...A LOT! They are the ten most common causes of disease.
Visiting via Pam Warden's blog...ain't she great?!
Funny post, Greg...and I especially liked the Hee Haw comment about your Pa. ;)
PS - What the heck's fatback?? 'Splain it to this Cubanita girl...please! :)
Your post is so funny, and the poignant message is well taken. Don't forget about the MSG in that Chinese food too, also!! I'm thinking you can safely drink water from your tap after you've boiled it for an hour or so.
Hee Haw!!!
:-)

Sorry I've not commented in a long while, I'm not much of a blogger/writer. I think I need a ghost writer for my blog. LOL!

You've got a great point here.
BTW - I'm having a FREE book giveaway on my blog. Please pass the word. I'll pick a winner on Mother's Day!
I used to endure HeeHaw too as a child. My grandma watched it. LOL.
