Note to self: Don’t go to the chinese buffet restaurant when there aren’t many cars in the parking lot. Man, you can’t believe what happens to that food when it sits in the warming trays for a while. Gah. So I just want to make it clear that I get to eat chinese food again as soon as possible to make up for last night’s experience.

The lemon squares we made last night as a cooking project? Blech. I guess I should have been nervous that the only thing I needed to add to the box mix was eggs and water. Or maybe the mix was just old. Or maybe I’m not much of a lemon square person after all.
Actually, what I wish I could have found was the low-fat lemon cake mix that was put out by one of the major mix brands under one of their “low fat” brands. I think it came in a purple box. I’ll have to remember what it was called, but anyway, they don’t sell those low/no fat mixes at my local store anymore, so I just assumed they don’t sell them at all.
Here’s an article in thelocal paper about the efforts to save Whalom – Whalom Park created memories.
I don’t know that I’m the person he’s talking about, maybe more than one has said the same thing, but I think I might be the person who said I would help clean the park in the spring if it was reopened, because I did. I’ve exchanged email with Allyson Bowen and in one I told her about the dream I’d had that I was hired to paint picnic tables. Very strange. But I do want the park to reopen. I loved working there (summer of 83) and loved going back with my son. It’s such a shame that this is happening.
Wait, there is mention of a cashier from the summer of 83, who first went in 1965. I mean, I’m sure that’s when I first went, because my parents probably took me as a baby just for something to do. I wonder if she’s talking about me or someone I worked with? I’ll have to try to find out. I haven’t been in touch with anyone I worked with at the park that year, for a long time, although I did keep in touch with one friend for at least 3 or 4 years. I don’t know why I keep thinking everything refers to me, how self-centered is that? I did offer to put stuff on my website. I keep talking about it in the blog, but I want to put some sort of button on the main dump page. I have to put that on my to-do list. Save Whalom.
Got the webcam back on today. It’s not on me because I have a cold, so I feel horrid and look worse. I think the view out the window is pretty nice anyway. Although it would be good to take a picture of my OWN house instead of the neighbor’s.
I should aim it more at the house across the street, as there is likely to be more activity there. The house is on the market, and yesterday was an open house. I should have gone over, just to look.
