Why Did The Turtle Cross The Road?

Andrew was driving home for lunch and saw this guy sitting in the middle of the road. We think he was aiming for the lake across the way and once he got on to the black top, he just muttered "warm, warm, warm, warm..." until he fell asleep. (The tape was to illustrate the size of the turtle.)
And now for something completely different; here are two drink recipes we really like:

A tasty STRAWBERRY BANANA SMOOTHIE:
(not my picture but looked the smame)
INGREDIENTS:
* 1 cup frozen strawberry
* 1 cup milk
* 2 packets of Splenda (or 2 Tbsp. sugar)
* 1 banana
* 8-10 ice cubes
DIRECTIONS: Blend together until smooth and serve. (It made about 2-8oz. cups)

I got this recipe out of an old church cookbook of grandma's.
SPICED MOCHA MIX (very tasty)
1 c. non-dairy dry creamer
1 c. hot cocoa mix
2/3 c. instant coffee powder (either decaf or caf)
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
Directions: Mix together the above ingredients and store in an airtight container. To use: place 3 to 4 heaping teaspoons of mocha mix in to a cup and add 6 oz. boiling water.

So THAT'S why the turtle crossed the road! You wonder how animals survive the cold up there in the winter! Do turtles burrow into the earth? It freezes hard, too! I'm so glad that we're finally done with snow!

Those drinks look yummy!
