This, indeed, is a memorable occasion. Something to be celebrated and revered. I'm sure you'll all agree we should be thankful. Is this a great country, or what?



The cause for celebration? Why it was 60 years ago today that General Foods sent out to 6 cities their first boxes of "Cheeri-oats", now known as Cheerios!! If I knew how, I would insert a photo of a box. But you recognize the familiar yellow packaging by now.

I love Cheeri-oats (well, Aldi brand)! My kids grew up on them from infancy. They made great snacks and taught them dexterity. Heck, maybe they even learned to read, using the back of the box!

I fixed pancakes yesterday for breakfast. No cold cereal for a radical change. The day wasn't the same. So for a "midnight" snack, I had a bowl of Cheerios! And this morning, another bowl. Watch out world.
I am now ready to take on Osama bin Laden. Oh wait--he was killed. Dang. Beaten to the punch.
