This has been a week for reflection. On Thursday our family welcomed a new additional into our lives. We have a beautiful new granddaughter. She was born on 22 July and weighs 7 lbs 4 ounces. A beautiful new little girl to enlighten our lives.The new mom and baby Katie are both doing well. I think the dad is also doing quite well. The grandparents on both sides of the family excited to have a new grandchild to bless our lives.
However, we also received information on the passing of a dear friend.
Please join me in remembering a great icon of the entertainment community. The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and trauma complications from repeated pokes in the belly. He was 71.
Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin. Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack, the California Raisins, Betty Crocker, the Hostess Twinkies, and Captain Crunch. The grave site was piled high with flours.
Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy and lovingly described Doughboy as a man who never knew how much he was kneaded. Doughboy rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with turnovers. He was not considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of his dough on half-baked schemes. Despite being a little flaky at times, he still was a crusty old man and was considered a positive roll model for millions.
Doughboy is survived by his wife Play Dough, three children: John Dough, Jane Dough and Dosey Dough, plus they had one in the oven. He is also survived by his elderly father, Pop Tart.
The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes.
Life is full of surprises and we welcome those changes that have a positive impact on our lives as well as those changes that sometimes negatively affect our lives as long as we can learn and grow from the experience.
Note: Thanks to whomever sent me the obituary on the Pillsbury Doughboy. Truly a great loss.
That was hilarious!
