Today I am thankful...
01. ...for Canada Dry Ginger Ale because it was my Grandma Mary's favorite and every time I drink it I remember Grandma.
02. ...that I can purchase Ginger Ale in 16 oz. bottles because they are easier for me to carry, store, and drink.
03. ...for fireworks on the 4th of July because it brings back memories from my childhood.
04. ...that I can purchase individual watermelons because they are easier for me to carry, store, and eat.
05. ...for English Black tea because it makes good hot tea and iced tea.
06. ...that I have a container in the bathroom to keep an extra roll of toilet paper because then I know when to go to the store to purchase more. I live in a studio apartment and their is not a very much storage that I can reach easily.
07. ...for the news-feed on writing.com because it reminds me to post my weekly goals update.
08. ...that tomorrow (Friday) is the 4th of July because I do not have to worry about going anywhere except to the alley to take out the trash.
09. ...for Dijon mustard because it taste good on hot dogs which is another 4th of July treat.
10. ...that I have a Facebook account because I can wish my brothers a Happy 4th of July without worrying that they will not be home when I call them.

A Happy Fourth of July
Kamál (Perfection), 12 Rahmat (Mercy), 167 BE – Monday, July 5, 2010 about 10:41 AM Pacific Time
Mom and I had a happy Fourth of July!
We stayed home all day on the Fourth. We ate hot dogs on buns with yellow mustard and sweet relish. On Sunday evening, I cut a small seedless watermelon in half for us to eat. Mom enjoyed the watermelon, so I am going to buy another one for us.
I still have to get some foods that Mom can fix for herself. All though, I should say will fix for herself because there is a difference. We have plenty of food in the house, it is just that Mom will not fix anything other then peanut butter sandwiches or cold cereal.
Mom liked the hot dogs we had yesterday. She put mustard on one bun and peanut butter on another. Mom seemed to like the hot dog and peanut butter on a bun. Mom needs to gain weight, so as long as she eats the food I do not care how she combines it. I know some of the food she combines sounds a bit odd, but Mom is the one eating the combinations.
I heated the hot dogs in the fry pan yesterday. I also placed the buns on the plates, but Mom fixed the rest for herself. If I cook something, Mom does the rest for herself; she just will not cook or open a can. I am not sure why she does not want to cook anymore. I suspect some of Mom's actions have to do with Alzheimer' disease.

All beef hot dogs on
A hot dog bun with sweet
Relish and mustard
Mom and I did not have a picnic outdoors today, we had the hot dogs for breakfast this morning. Mom ate two hot dogs and drank a couple of cups of coffee. This afternoon she at a hamburger sandwich with a cold can of soda. I still have the watermelon in the fridge, I will cut it this evening.
Cold watermelon
Waits in the fridge for supper
And a cold soda

The Last Saturday in August
Jalál (Glory), 11 Asma (Names), 165 B.E. – Saturday, August 30, 2008 about 8:47 AM Pacific Time
This is the last Saturday in August,
on Monday September begins;
September 1 is the first Monday in September;
Labor Day.
When I was a child,
Labor Day was picnic day,
hot dog day,
visiting with my grandparents' day,
going to the Lake day,
going swimming day,
going water skiing day,
etc.
On the last Saturday in August,
I remember the joy
of driving to the Lake
on a Friday night knowing
we did not have to return to Blackwell
until late Monday evening;
knowing that there would be no school until Tuesday.
I remember
looking forward to going back to school
on Tuesday morning
when the first activity of the day
was "Show and Tell"
and everyone has something to say
about their Labor Day weekend.

I Like Red Onions
Jalál (Glory), 14 Kalimat (Words), 165 BE – Saturday, July 26, 2008 about 1:21 PM PDT
I like red onions. I like them sliced very thin on a hamburger with dill pickles and salad dressing. I like them chopped on a hotdog with sweet relish and mustard. I like them chopped and put in a dinner salad. I like them chopped and cooked with fried potatoes.
My grandmother fried potatoes with red onions in them. When she made hamburger for my siblings and myself, she sliced red onions for our hamburgers. Grandma chopped red onions for hotdogs and salads. I know where I picked up my taste for red onions with my food. What I want to know, is where did I pickup the taste for raw red onions without any other food to go with them.
I love eating a slice of raw red onions by themselves no salad dressing, no hamburger, no hot dog, no salad, just a plain slice of raw red onion. Naturally, this is not something I eat everyday. I usually eat a slice of raw onion on Saturday or Sunday, when I know I am not going to leave the house. After I eat a slice red onion I brush my teeth several times.
Not only would I like to know where I picked up the taste for red onions this way, but I would like to know if it is a common taste. I have never heard anyone talk about this particular taste before. I have had conversations with other people about different foods, but the subject of eating slices of raw red onions by them has never come up.
