Off to Des Moines
Time for us to travel up to Des Moines, so will be going there in the morning. Must visit Aunt Louise, who will be 97 April 12th! Still spry and funny as can be. Plus she is awaiting some more food from us. Seems we are her main supplier for good food she can’t get from anyone else. More caramel dip for apples (she loves dipping her apple slices in the caramel dip) and of course, more monster cookies. This time wife changed up the recipe a bit to have raisins instead of the m&m’s. And left out the nuts. This is super for Aunt Louise, as she is a celiac and can not eat anything that has gluten in it or has even been close to gluten. You can get this recipe, the cookies are awesome for anyone, not just celiacs, at Monster Cookies.
If you can count your money, you don’t have a billion dollars.

A guy sits at a bar in a skyscraper restaurant high above the city. He slams a shot of tequila, goes over to the window and jumps out.
The guy sitting next to him can’t believe what he just saw. He’s more surprised when, 10 minutes later, the same guy walks back into the bar and sits down next to him.
The astonished onlooker asks, “How did you do that? I just saw you jump out the window, and we’re hundreds of feet above the ground!”
The jumper responds by slurring, “Well, I don’t get it either. I slam a shot of tequila, and when I jump out the window, the tequila makes me slow down right before I hit the ground. Watch.” He takes a shot, goes to the window and jumps out.
The other guy runs to the window and watches as the guy falls to just above the sidewalk, slows down and lands softly on his feet. A few minutes later, the jumper walks back into the bar.
The other guy has to try it, too, so he orders a shot of tequila. He slams it and jumps out the window. As he reaches the bottom, he doesn’t slow down at all. SPLAT!
The first guy orders another shot of tequila. The bartender shakes his head. “You’re really an a**hole when you’re drunk, Superman.”
