one voluptuous, blue-eyed pig with hair worthy of a Jhirmack commercial - the one, and only, Miss Piggy.It would be a while before we would get to see that film, but the merchandise was everywhere.That summer, while on vacation, what we did have the great childhood golden fortune to experience was the coveted trip to McDonald\u2019s.We went to McDonald\u2019s even less frequently than the movies, but I remember that trip vividly.As we stood in line, three small children with their parents, the bright suspended menu shone down like the golden gates of El Dorado.Amidst the pricing and options was promotional material for that very Muppet film I referred to - The Great Muppet Caper.We were big fans of the show, and the movie was sure to be a hit.What was revealed within the menu was that each week, McDonald\u2019s featured a different character on a drinking glass.They were actually made of glass, tall, with a high-quality wraparound image of a scene from the movie on them.The glasses came free with purchase of a medium-sized drink.Needless to say, I\u2019m certain the begging took place.I know my brothers likely had high hopes for the glass-of-the-week - Fozzie and Kermit as reporters, the Happiness Hotel double-decker bus, Kermit riding a bike.but there was really one that stood out for me.There she was - in all her porcine glory, in that famous pose, dressed up in a fabulous one-piece show outfit and riding a motorcycle.According to several reputable online sources, and even featured by Google itself, in episode 106 of The Muppet Show, Miss Piggy was referred to by her full name - \u201cPiggy Lee\u201d.AND, if that wasn\u2019t earth-shattering enough, in episode 116, Piggy told guest Avery Schreiber (easily recognizable with his huge curved mustache and dark mop-top, who acted in everything from Love, American Style, Fantasy Island, The Doris Day Show, Get Smart and The Dukes of Hazzard to Robin Hood: Men in Tights) that Piggy is short for \u201cPigathius\u201d which is \u201cFrom the Greek, meaning \u2018river of passion\u2019.\u201d I think I prayed.I was seven years old.I had another seven years to go before both brothers caught up to me in height.I was gangly and goofy and I was praying that the glass of the week was the daring, brave, vulnerable and reactionary Pigathius Lee.I can only guess that the moment was comparable to Indiana Jones choosing the Holy Grail correctly.The glass of the week was Miss Piggy.The math here is heavy.That was probably the one visit to McDonald\u2019s that year, maybe even in a several-year span (no complaining, we were entertained and well-fed on real food at home), but it was that special treat - we always knew that it was a special event, a special expense.We were on our one family trip of the year, and the free glasses coming home with us, three of them, were Miss Piggy glasses, much to my brothers\u2019 chagrin.There was a strict, one-glass-only per week rule enforced at the time, it would seem.When fall came, I was beginning grade two, and my pencil case set was a Miss Piggy one - grey and pink, with all the trimmings (case, pencil, sharpener, eraser, the works).That set lasted the year, but we had a Miss Piggy glass in the cupboard for probably fifteen years before the last one broke.The tall, white, kitchen cupboards showcased their contents well, Miss Piggy included - usually on the second shelf because they were tall and would mean that we drained the juice containers more quickly - they were perfect for milkshakes and other fancier situations, which is probably why had at least one for that long.On June 4th, 2016, behind Knowlton\u2019s Dépanneur Rouge, at the annual Lions Club garage sale, I found not one, but two mint condition Miss Piggy glasses at a quarter a pop.They look smaller than I remember, as is often the way with distortion in childhood memories, as our minds grasp for details.We had done well to arrive early -there were still so many high quality finds.Waiting at the table, while my glassware purchases (other standard drinking glasses and a few other fragile items) were painstakingly wrapped) - I missed out on a retro kitchen set at $25.00 and a few other lovely bigger items, but The Find was well worth it.Pigathius Lee and I are reunited, and with any luck, and keeping them in a separate cupboard from the usual drinking glasses, so as to limit their use to \u201cmoi\u201d, we\u2019ll have a decade or so together.SHEILA QUINN Ben by Daniel Shelton uwi-iat uav£.YOU FIGUREP OUTY YOU KNOW ONE THING ABOUT UYlNO HERE AIN PAY WITH A SOKE BACK.ITS GIVEN ME A iotoe time to THINK ABOUT THINGS ANP FIGURE STUFF OUT.THAT I PONT LIKE TO THINK ABOUT THINGS A A A pressfll'MJJ Printed and distributed by PressReader £f\u201e TVUKK Ï I HEÆR 'MUAT £UPP L'AMPEfe mi AT US Soup to Nuts (,'M MR pavoRiie colors âRÊ Rep, WK\\ie 3N0 ELÜÊ'i KNOIa) tOHR?; ©2016 Rick Stromoski Dist.by Universalllclick Because TueR Re Twe Colors of FREEDOM £ Email: soup2nutz@cox.net until.TfteRpe Flashing bêhikiD^oo.j \\ C/iedcrs'Flealth Check\" Diabetes11 EPIDEMIC f Wi Ajjf^k.Diabetes ^^Ouébec f, REACT NOW!

The defenders should set their sights on these six tricks: two clubs, two spades and two hearts.East wins with his club ace and returns the two (low from three remaining cards).West takes that trick, cashes the spade ace, and continues with the spade eight (higher of two North\t06-14-16 *\tQ 7 6 4 3 V 10 2 *\tQ J *\tQ J 10 9 East 4 K 10 9 ¥ K 6 4 ?\t6 3 2 *\tA 7 5 2 South 4 J 2 ¥ A J 8 7 3 *\tA K 10 9 *\t6 4 Dealer: South Vulnerable: East-West South\tWest\tNorth\tEast l¥\tPass\t14\tPass 24\tPass\t2¥\tAll Pass Opening lead:
