Tigers, birthdays, designer dogs

Just to make amends for not mentioning hummus in the last post, I must say there is one brand of hummus I really like. I can't remember the name but it begins with an "S" which brings up a grammatical problem. I wondered whether to use "a" or "an" with "S" but be cause the way it is pronounced sounds like a short "e" I chose "an" and I am sure that was interesting. Anyway the hummus is the garlic flavored and it is really smooth. I just can't do the little bits of garbanzo beans in my mouth. The subject came to mind last time because I had found little containers of the hummus with a container on top (single serving) of flat pretzel pieces. What a treat to carry for lunch, that is if I had to go to work.
Today would have been my mother's 100th birthday. She passed away in April of 2002. I remember her 90th birthday very well as it was the day of Floyd. The hurricane that one congresswoman from her area said was not just the worst hurricane of the last 500 years, it was the hurricane of the century!!! on TV!!! Anyway, my sister was visiting at the time and she and my mother stayed with us because the power was out in Greenville and nothing was open. We celebrated the birthday here anyway.
I was sent a picture of Tiger and his family. Let me clear that up. It was sent in email. Not by Tiger!!! The picture was of Tiger, his wife, his two sons, and two dogs. Both dogs are large and one is licking Tiger. The other looks like a labradoodle. It is a picture that will warm your heart and just about make you forget how the golf announcers make you feel about Tiger. My friend has a labradoodle named Ellie and she is beautiful. I have another friend who has one with puppies for sale.
Some think the Obamas have one but theirs is another breed. If the dogs have the best qualities of Labs and Poodles they will be unbeatable as a pet and friend.
I am going to meet friends at the Royal Tea Room for lunch today. I do love that place. The chicken salad sandwich with a garden salad and the shepherd's pie with salad are my favorites.
Enough for now.
