Progresso Soups

We have tried quite a few soup brands and we finally decided the soups made by Progresso are the best. They taste like home made, which gives us a quick and rather inexpensive emergency-type meal. The soups by Progresso does not need extra fixing, but I still season them a bit, in my way.

We still haven't tasted all the soup kinds they make, we still have our favorite ones, though. The lentils soup is especially good when served with fresh corn bread.

Rudi

He came to Texas from Chicago. It was a gift from a granddaughter to her ailing grandpa.

Years later, we saw the bear for a very first time when a lady (grandpa's wife) brought Rudi for our church game. The bear was to be one of the bingo prizes and its name was different then. 

We very much wanted to win him but another lady (of German descent) did, and took the guy home. We believed he was gone and we would never see him again.

Later, the lady who originally owned Rudi found out, the bingo winner had knitted him a costume and put the bear on sale at the Lutheran Fall Festival. Nobody bought him there so its original owner, grandpa's wife, got it back and brought to us. We named the bear Rudi and gave him the red hat to complete his German-like outfit. He is a great hugger and home Bobo protector.

Our newest Bobo

It appeared our Rudi wanted to come to us and be part of our family. Yey!

Sign of Times

At first, I was shocked when I saw how much smaller those eyeshadows are these days. Well, I had not been to a Sephora place for ages. After reconsidering pros and contras, a few hours later, I did make a purchase there.

The eyeshadow is smaller. but either you buy it and have it, or you don't buy it, leave the store and don't have a fresh and new eyeshadow.

New Guy

A New Guy in the family. No, it's not our bike. Harley has been history already.

It seems, I missed posting a note about that Harley, the predecessor.


 UPDATE: 

The old one that is gone now.

Goodbye Pierre

That was a good and reasonably priced brandy. The latter was a reason why we gave it a try. It seems the store quit ordering it. The same with our Gato Negro Cabernet Savignon.


 What type of brandy would you recommend?
