My life as an Amphibian.

If you were lucky enough to be invited to view my bestest friend in the world’s blog you notice that for “OTHER SPARKLES IN MY LIFE” she has Uncle Karl, Froggy, and MOMMY. When you click on Froggy you are redirected to my blog. I feel I must explain. I was talking to Lea on the phone a couple months back and she was being her crazy and hyper self which I have no problem of. She was having trouble hearing me clearly. That’s what happens when you try to talk to someone who is a couple hundred thousand miles away. Anyway, I told her that I was getting some peach fuzz on my chin for a beard sort of thing. Somehow she heard something about a pink frog. The nickname kind of stuck after a while so now she knows me as Froggy or Pink Froggy. It is really interesting the things that get lost somewhere out in space when you are talking to someone on the phone.

What kind of pie???!!!

For all those who don’t know him, my grandpa on my dad’s side; also called Bob or Robert and even Grumpy; is good with food. He made a pie for Thanksgiving Day that might help illustrate this point. Instead of making a regular boring old pumpkin or lemon meringue pie, he created the best tasting pie I have ever had. The main ingredient though is really shocking. The main ingredient is none other than mans favorite fruit, The famous Pinto Bean. When my dad first told me about it a week or so before I was revolted. A pie made out of pinto beans? It did not sound appetizing to me at the time before I had even tasted it. I went through the week dreading Thanksgiving Day. Then unfortunately it came all to soon. My dad told me that I could not go to bed until I had some Pinto Bean Pie. I grudgingly took the first bite. Needless to say that I had been wrong about what I thought the pie was going to taste like. Also I don’t need to say that I scarfed the rest of my piece of pie down. My brother, who had been excited about the pie, surprisingly did not like it. So I got to eat the rest of his piece too. It was so good. Don’t tell my dad this but I am glad that he made me try a piece.
