Let me set the stage for this tale...
The week of 10/12/15 a major, multi phase, landscaping project started here at my house.
Phase 1: We have some very talented stone mason creating
a Great Wall of Hedgemoor on each side of our driveway..
They had to hand dig trenches on a very hot day.
May I draw your attention to these expertly dug
by hand trenches. My peeps have been quite impressed with their digging and stone mason skills
This is the longest of the two walls it was about 1/2 finished
Ok so the scene is set..you know it was hard and hot work the first day digging those expert holes....SO now for the rest of the FUNNY story...
Mom has a group of 4 very good friends
(from Connecticut, Oregon, Florida and Georgia) she speaks to every day via email. She was telling them about how hot it was the day they were digging.
Mom casually wrote in an email,
"it was so hot I took them a pitcher of ice water, cups
and some Nabs....."
Mom said it was like she was speaking in tongues... none of her friends knew what Nabs were.
The friends started a most hilarious string of emails..... one wrote what are Nabs, another wrote my husband Googled Nabs, another friend said thank your hubby for the research, I was about to do the same. I had no idea what Nabs were either.
Pictured below you will find me posing with Nabs...they are a staple in our house. They come on round and square and Mom particularly likes the Nekot Nabs they are graham cracker with peanut butter. I'm told Milky-Way, the one who came before me, loved to lick peanut butter residue from the Nab wrapper.
If you love Nabs, raise your paw!
Here is what Google said:
Many snack cracker products manufactured by Lance are commonly referred to as "Nabs", a genericized trademark name for Nabisco snack crackers. The term originated in 1924 when the National Biscuit Company (Nabisco) introduced a snack, put in a 5-cent sealed packet called "Peanut Sandwich Packet".
Please tell us in the comments what you call these delish snacks.

Great Wall of Hedgemoor
There was a Bobcat in our yard digging too leveling out the uneven ground so that the new trees/plants had a nice home.
This week is a busy week with special posts for Shelter Treats with Dory and Halloween Costume Contest with Sammy.
Next week we'll show you
more on the landscaping project...which by the
way is finished NOW!!!
