The Record Newspapers - Hometown News For Orange County, Texas

I have a new shoe on today. It is an ankle bracelet.

So far, it seems to be the best. I can walk much better with it on. It will be the last thing I will wear, probably for one month. I think it will depend on me. I just need strength and stability.

Contrary to what some think, I did not break my big toe, but my left leg, just above the ankle.

I will be glad when I get back to Wal-Mart’s walking again. I really miss seeing all of the new friends that we have met there.

I am still waiting on all those recipes that some have promised me.

I have one more goodie for you and we will get down to serious business.

I didn’t know Louisiana had its own bread pudding. But hey, it must be Gooder’n Syrup because I have never met a french person that couldn’t cook. I think my mother-in-law could have made fried dirt taste good.
