Clay’s Corner

As long as I can remember, the changing of the month always meant a couple of things.  One, dad would always change the calendar it prior to going to bed.  I always wondered how it happened.  And then there was always the feel of a new month.  May always brought warmer temperatures and the ability to stay out longer.  As I got older it bought on a whole new meaning.

Driving around can make your mind wander ninety to nothing.  Today was no exception to the rule for me.  I had a photo shoot this morning for staff pictures.  7:15 is too early.  And it was cold!  Now I know why models get paid the big bucks.

If it takes a strong woman to age gracefully, then LeAnn Rimes is on par to grow older with the best of them. The country star turns 30 years old today, August 28, 2012, and while the big 3-0 puts some celebs into a tailspin, Rimes says that she is ecstatic to leave her 20s behind.

                This morning I stopped to get gas and as I was pulling in my neighborhood gas station I notice the price of gas has gone up since last week. I wasn’t surprise by the gas prices going up, for the past 10 years I have seen the gas trend again and again. At first I was surprised, sure it’s just a seasonal thing, then maybe I am driving too much, I tried to cut on that, and it when on

Whitney Houston was laid to rest this past weekend amid a series of celebrations and accolades of her life which (in some opinions) ended way too soon.  But there were other people who decided that her send off was over the top.

Whitney Houston.  Beautiful musician, singer and actress.  Taken away from us too soon.  I like many others were captivated in the mid 1980's by her voice.

Ever pull up to a gas pump and whip out the plastic to pay at the pump?  Convenience is a must in this day and age.  Why go inside and have to wait for the clerk when you can pay at the pump?

Now that we are half way through the week and getting closer to the Super Bowl, one of my favorite kitchen devices is the Crock Pot.   Now just like in real life, this cock pot post had to cook just the right amount of time before it could be posted.  Enjoy!

Now we get to an area where most people love to stop and load up at any given Super Bowl party.

The picture you see has been shown around the world on every possible facet of media.  Television, Internet, print and the list goes on.

Can you imagine a world with out  Twinkies or Ho Ho's?  How about a fabulous fruit filled pie?   Or a creme filled cupcake?

So is there some innocence left.  Yes.  I saw it with my own eyes this morning.
