Tomorrow you can see the Olson’s: ron ,vicki,jessica, brother bob and my mom at the Picadilly on poplar at highland. Expected time of arrival will be 11;15. It’s our new tradition. My mom can’t do the cooking at home  anymore and vicki is tied up with her birthday, the store and helping her family put the traditional deal together for thanksgiving.

There is something special about standing in line at Picadilly. The anticipation. the judging of off the folks in line with you. These are people that don’t have time for a bunch of cooking and cleaning. Why not ?  Last year the turkey and dressing was a little dry….the year before almost perfection. You grab some jello…a little slaw….turkey and dressing…some gravy….maybe a shiny roll…than some lemonade….be careful not to pinch the fingers of the person in front of you with your tray.. walk on..find a seat, say a prayer and let the eating begin. Its a simple  time to laugh and talk and catch up with the ones you love.

The most amazing part of the Picadilly experience is this: my brother brings his own mustard. apparently not happy with the mustard choices at the dilly.One of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen. That’s why I love my brother…he was the guy that brought kraft bar b q sauce, italian dressing and cremora thru airport security in his check on bag this summer. Classic.

enjoy the family and if you see us at Picadilly say “hey”.

memphis is not on the top ten worst crime cities in america. yes. St. louis is number one. They sit up there and hide from the rest of the country…not anymore. Things are getting better for us. Our zoo is better than theirs. 

We also did not make the top ten worst traffic cities. New york number one, but no memphis on the list. Finally two lists that we are not on.

Thank the Lord and hard working people. We are starting to get this city turned around….It’s not perfect but there is a glimmer of hope.

love ron

I know it’s impossible to help everyone but….the food bank here in memphis needs some turkey love. Yesterday we let people know about the shortage of turkeys this year. You can’t have thanksgiving without turkeys. The food bank had none. SOOOOO. yesterday Jill and I bought a bunch of turkeys and took them to the food bank at dudley and union ( close to UT)…then the west clinic shows up with a  ton of turkey meat and here comes the memphis heart clinic. these are all people who get it. be a getter. help out. take a frozen turkey or two to the food bank so they can brighten a life or two.

It’s not saving the world….it’s making a difference. that ‘ s what matters most. isn’t it.

Well a couple of these are true. No matter how special your relationship is…there are always a few bumps on the road.

four secrets:

1) your spouse will gain weight. just stay in some kind of shape and you’ll be fine. make an effort.

2) you won’t see your friends anymore. sometimes this is true. and maybe a good thing. It’s just different. you make new friends….it’s kinda tough to still hang with your street running buds and not get in a lot of trouble. same for her too.

3)you’ll go to bed angry…even though you said you never would…whatever on this one. Try to fix it before you go to bed…its always ok to say I’m sorry. give a little bit. You’re in it together.

4) you’ll have two paychecks, but you’ll still be broke. you save on rent but spend money fixing up your place. if you got kids….mo money out the door at target and costco.

The best secret: there is nothing better than being in love. Be a cheerleader for each other. take the trash out, change a few light bulbs, pick up your clothes…don’t forget little surprises. Be nice to your in laws. Hug her till she screams let go.

ok maybe the last one is a little much.

marry rich.
