Good 24º morning. Not complaining....
after seeing what is happening across the mid-west!!!
Holy cow, it's cold!!!
Here is a picture of my friend's car...
George and Connie live in New Mexico...
Yesterday was the LE/Fire luncheon. Had a great time!
We have two more LASD joining us. Steve worked SEB
and knows my old high school pal, Gary Rovarino, aka
"Duke". Gary and I never dated, but held hands in Am. Lit
class! So, there were 7 of us surrounded by mostly retired
LAPD... we're gaining though!!
Thanks to Joe I learned a new French word.... (now now now... don't even go there....) "pamplemousse". It's certainly nothing sexy... it means "grapefruit" !! Thanks Joe, just never know when that will come in handy!

Pamplemouse is the name of a rather luxurious face cream. A secret obsession that I try to indulge when there is extra money in the wallet. Which is to say, rarely.
Hmmmm 'grapefruit' face cream. Interesting. xo
Il fait Tres Froid. Means it is very cold. I took French and will always remember that line- lol
You were up early and on the ball this a.m. as usual. Give Atlas a hug and tell Harley to hang in there. <3 T and G
Oh goodie, Tammy, another French lesson. I'll be 'langue francaise' in no time!!! ox
Sue,
How the heck does anyone get their cars out of that snow to get to work? I hear that Dallas area is suffering terribly with the weather. Having rolling blackouts and had to get electricity from MEXICO for god sakes!!
Oh brrrr 24o? I am sitting here in the sun and freezing right now!! Can't even imgine it being as cold as it is up there and in other places! YIKES!
Say, ask Steve, former SEB if he knew John. John was there for ten yrs from 1972 to 82.
Hugs, Trisha
Steve said he was there '84-'96. So, probably didn't know John.
I agree with you about the cold. Don't know how people survive. I'm such a wussie, and it was only 24* here!! xo
