"Here's Your Sign" Saturday

One of the funniest things about living here is all the signs...road signs, billboards, advertisements, etc. Either the English is humorously incorrect or the picture is wacky or it just makes no sense to the mother tongue English speaker. Sometimes, they are just plain funny. So...today starts the adventure of "Here's Your Sign" Saturdays.

Week One: Excuse You...
This is an issue here, and if you do it, it's considered a compliment to the cook. But, I guess they are starting to learn the truth behind the infamous burp.

It's my daddy's birthday!

Happy Birthday, Daddy!



I love you so much!

Good to Know...

Toothpaste is a product suitable for vegetarians.

Here, in my country, many people are vegetarian for religious reasons. Every food product is marked with one of the following:



Recently, I ran out of my beloved Crest Whitening with Scope toothpaste that I brought over from the States (I brought several...I love it that much). In my quest to find a good substitute I found some Colgate Whitening. And, much to my surprise...its vegetarian. In case you want to eat it, I guess.

Our Family's NEW DAWG

Today, my little brother starts college classes at my alma mater, The University of Georgia. Not to be all sentimental on you, but yesterday he was a cute little, curly-haired blond pre-schooler. Seriously, how come we grow up so fast?

So, today's post is a tribute to my little brother (a pretty great one, if I do say so myself)...the new Georgia Bulldog.





Thanks, Blake, for being such a good brother and friend. Don't forget to study a little in between football games, workouts at Ramsey and late-night dorm mischief. K? Oh, and please don't walk under the arches...just in case. ;-)

And, of course....GO DAWGS! Sic 'em!
