Good 26º morning. Everything out there is frozen!!!
Yesterday I watched the Rose Parade, reliving a lot of memories of being a small child and watching it on the TV in front of a TV tray with my grandmother's cherry cake and egg nog, marching in the parade playing the glockenspiel
with the LA Sheriff's Boy's Band
Noonish I went over to Jen and Brian's for present opening. Tucker and
Sami had fun,
while Brian put together the new wazoo barbecue I gave them.
And even Atlas opened his own package (rawhide chews) ....

Sami entertained us dressed in her "princess" outfit with her Groucho Marx glasses and trumpet....
Jen, Tucker, Sami, and I played "Sorry". Been a long long time. Jen won, Tucker was second, Sami lost interest, and Bobo came in last.

Came home after some grocery shopping and plopped in front of the TV. Found the Rose Bowl Game on ESPN and enjoyed it. Great game!
YEAH for Texas Christian University and the Horned Frogs!!!!! Way to go!!!
TCU 21 and the Wisconsin Badgers 19.
Andy Dalton a great quarterback for the Frogs and a handsome boy, undoubtedly made his mama proud, will probably go far.
While not exactly intimidating at first glance, the horned frog provided some intimidating competition in the 2011 Rose Bowl. A horned frog isn't a frog at all. It is actually a horned lizard found in the Southwestern United States and in northern Mexico. It is commonly referred to as either a horned frog or a horned toad depending on which part of the country you happened to be visiting. The amphibian nicknames come from its facial resemblance to both the frog and the toad. When you add on some wicked looking horns, it becomes one tough reptile! It uses those spikes to fend of predators and can even spray out blood from its eyes to confuse its potential attackers. The Texas horned lizard (aka the horned frog) is the official state reptile for the state of Texas. Historically this date....
1974 – President Richard Nixon signs a bill lowering the maximum U.S. speed limit to 55 MPH in order to conserve gasoline during an OPEC embargo
1999 – A brutal snowstorm smashes into the Midwestern United States, causing 14 inches (359 mm) of snow in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and 19 inches (487 mm) in Chicago, where temperatures plunge to -13 °F (-25 °C); 68 deaths are reported
And births this date include....
1909 –Barry Goldwater, American politician (d. 1998)
1936 – Roger Miller, American singer (d. 1992)
"Dang me, dang me.... they ought to take a rope and hang me. HIGHHHHH from the highest tree... Oh woman will you weep for me?"
"You can't roller skate in a buffalo herd..."
Great songs!!!

Fun Blog today!
Speaking of the Horned frogs. Friends of ours have two sons there. As the announcer said,
$41,000 per year, and that would be doubled. They felt it was important to have them there. The youngest was hazed during a pledge drive by crawling at night across the length of the football field, in the rain. His hand went thru the mud and touched a wire for the lights. He was electrocuted and quit breathing. Fortunately, one of the "advisors" was a med equip salesman and had a defribulator in his trunk. He got it and they got the boy breathing. He spent several weeks in the hosp but is fine now except for some scars. After that incident the boys go to school for free.........
This just happened last year. Every time Tootie and Ellis go to visit they are treated pretty royally. Nice people, never thought about a law suit, just wanted their son okay. His elder brother played in the game yesterday.
Just a freaky thing that happened and even freakier that someone with knowledge and defib was there.

Thanks D. I did hear the announcer talk about the tuition at TCU. Wow. So glad your friend's boy is ok! Scary. xo
That was a cute band outfit, but you sure didn't want to have your picture taken, OR, you stepped in too much horse doo-doo. Don't know which?
I didn't know you were famous and on TV arresting protestors. Good girl!!!!!
