McChristmas is coming

enjoyed the "read" Gary;) I like your style of writing/jotting, fun to read:)

Well, thank you D2

dug out another (somewhat) McD story I penned a year ago;

Kind of a crazy thing happened yesterday in the check out at wally world.
The lady behind us said ‘you dropped some money’.
Criminy, it was $25.
I’d been handed a couple bills and jammed ‘em into my pocket alongside my money clip.
Sure enough, there they were, on the floor.
I was so motivated toward returning her kindness I volunteered to pay for her little purchase.
Heh, her seemingly cheap picture frames were ringing up at $4.96 each.
Half dozen of them.
It was a crazy thing that happened.
Not a stupid one.
But the crazy part was seeing her in the Bi Mart parking lot just a few minutes later.
She waved, beckoned us with hand signals to come pay for her purchase there.
Quite the sense of humor.

On another almost kindly note, a few weeks ago we were in the McD’s drive thru getting our ritual morning coffee.
Drove forward to pay and the lady said the people ahead of us ‘payed it forward’.
I thought, gosh, what a neat thing, I’ll do the same, not break this chain of happiness.
Made me feel warm inside.
Glanced at the carload of family behind us.
Boy, did they look hungry.
Somebody can make a new happiness chain.
That free coffee was sure good.
Made me feel warm inside.

Y’all be kind to someone today.

I could be out there.
 

Super-size that!

What a cutie Aunt Bea, I don't remember seeing this, thanks for sharing. I thought he was exceptional in "Stand By Me" with Richard Dreyfus narrating;)
 
McGobble, Gobble!

McDonald's tests yet another breakfast bowl here in Southern California with the arrival of the new Turkey Sausage and Tomatillo Scramble Bowl.

McDonald's coffee is excellent, IMO, and at 49 cents for a Senior coffee, it sure beats spending $4 at Starbucks. We always stop on our monthly trip to the city for a cup. Once in awhile, in the city, if we've been up real late at the casino, and don't get up in time for their breakfast, I hop over to a nearby McD for a Sausage and Egg McMuffin. With the holidays approaching, they are serving the McRibs again...I will certainly have one of those sometime soon.

I tried Starbucks
Once
Became incredulous at the price….of coffee
Became indecisive at what conglomeration of flavors I should pick
Noticed people in the vehicle queue idling their engines
For a very long time
Anxious to pay an exorbitant amount of money
For
Coffee

Folks wonder why they can’t make ends meet
Seems they do this every day
Every morning

Actually, the buck for McCoffee is pretty high in relation to a cup from the home pot

I’m talking myself in to something….

Nawww, I’d miss the entertainment

These look pretty good, actually. I can't even remember the last time I went to McDonald's. I remember stopping at a Burger King about 2 years ago and our new Sonic last year. I think I'll try these McD bowls if they come to CT.

Oh Don, I just can't enjoy McDonald's coffee. My grandson brought one home for me a few months ago. It's just too weak for me.
Starbuck's however, hits me over the head with flavor. To each his own I guess but I wish it wasn't so darn expensive!
