Good 34º foggy morning.
Wow, the last day of January.
85 years ago today Leslie and Margaret
eloped from Bisbee Arizona
to Tombstone Arizona
and were married.
19 years later Susan Leslie was born. Taaa daaa.....
(the picture is the court house where they got their
marriage license)
Not much to say about yesterday... I had that ADHD thing going on... cleaned out one cupboard, oh look... here's something in this one that needs to be tossed out... oh wait, here in my bedroom I need to clean out this closet.... but wait, there's a squirrel! Sigh. I did get quite a bit done and more for the Goodwill.
We didn't really get any sun yesterday.
Looked like this at noon....
And they by 5pm we had a semi-pretty sunset....
Dinner, a fire, TV.
The Pro Bowl was strange to say the least. The NFC defeated the AFC 55-41. Gotta say, the AFC gave it an awesome try to come back from 41-zip.

All I know. Need to stack wood on the porch.
Need to clean out the wood stove. Need to
cook something! And there are a dozen other
things I'll be doing. Happy Monday! Nuff said...

Carole Channing lives in Modesto now- part time. I hear she is not the friendly sort. I've never had a Brandy Alexander! Now I will! Luv- tamara h.
I've never had one either. Going to pick up some Cream de Cacao in town today and make one. Will comment tomorrow. xo
You were cleaning a closet and had a squirrel?... Now that's a visual....woops- I was getting a lightbulb for upstairs when I saw the computer... think I understand. Duh.
Will make brandy sauce for bread pudding. Maybe tonight. Unless I see a squirrel...
LOL, good L!! Those damned squirrels are the downfall of my organized cleaning! :o)
"I had that ADHD thing going on... cleaned out one cupboard, oh look... " So, that is what it is! I've often wondered if there is a name for this madness I go through when I'm on a cleaning frenzy. Always some distraction or another that screams to be done first :) The main thing is that you got a lot done.
I like your sunset picture, not as spectacular as most of the one's you have, but beautiful nonetheless.
I'm getting quite a bit done around here, so I don't feel too awful about my progress. Wish I could just wiggle my nose, like Samantha on Bewitched, but it is what it is.
Have a great day.
Hugs, E
Ha ha ha... yes, seems like a lot of us have that syndrome. Squirrels!!!! xo
