~ Globalwarming..... ~ Cushings ~ Heavenly Hash ~







Good 20* morning.Everything frozen.
Hummingbird feeders, somewhat.
Maggie's water, yes! Grasses, yes!
Barn roof covered in inc. The mid-west got slammed.
Oh...... Mr. Gore ... GLOBALWARMINGMYASS!
(a word PJ coined!)

Everything is white....































Yesterday at 11am.....















.... and 5pm....















Mr. Towhee was watching me...











And Sushi came out of hiding and wanted to eat..
Something is very wrong with this site... it's
acting so very strange and nothing is cooperating!

Yesterday Maggie and I went to the post office, bank, and to Ace.
Hi Dan. "Big Dan the Man!"

Today is Law Enforcement/Fire luncheon. Will report back on that
later....

The vet called last night. Maggie has Atypical Cushings Disease as
reported back by the University of Tennessee. She will have a 'doser''
injected under her skin at the neck that will dispense one of the meds.
That will happen this week. "Atypical cushings is an abnormal
elevation of hormones, not steroin hormones like in typical Cushings. It usually has the same physical symptoms such as thin skin, bilateral alopecia (symmetrical hair loss), a pot belly, increased thirst and urination, panting. The University of Tennessee Endocrinology lab has a standard profile that tests for elevations in several reproductive hormones."

Historically this date...
1653New Amsterdam (later renamed The City of New York) is incorporated.
1812Russia establishes a fur trading colony at Fort Ross, California.
1887 – In Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania the first Groundhog Day is observed.
This year the predictions are for an early Spring. No shadow. No more Winter. A lot of people are wishing this to be true!
And births this date include...
1937 – Tom Smothers, American musician and comedian
 


1947Farrah Fawcett, American actress (d. 2009)



     :o(



1948Ina Garten, American author and TV personality
 
 
I like her cooking show!
 
 
 
 
1954Christie Brinkley, American model
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
.... and today is the 48th wedding anniversary of my friends, John and Trish. Happy Anniversary kids!!!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
All I know. Nuff said. Breakfast will be sauteéd tomatoes and mushrooms and scrambled eggs. Have a good Wednesday!

1 c Mandarin oranges, drained
1 c Pineapple chunks, drained

Mix all the canned fruit, sugar and coconut thoroughly in mixing bowl. Fold in the sour cream and marshmallows. Transfer to decorative serving bowl, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate up to 24 hours. Right before serving you could garnish with a few maraschino cherries placed on the top of the salad.

I guess we all make mistakes. Even groundhogs.

Nice list of celebrities.

So glad Trisha had better taste in a lifelong companion than Farah.

Best to Mags. And her companions):-

Sue,
I copied the Heavenly Hash recipe then as I looked at it I thought "I have been making this for years and call it Ambrosia!" My version calls for oranges with segments of the orange de skinned! Lots of work so I stopped doing the peeling of the skin. Have never done the cherries but, nice touch. I like to make it when having ham on Easter.

Glad you got the test results back for Maggie. It is good to have an answer so now they can treat her. Hugs and kisses to her!

Thank you for the yell out for our anniversary! Have your card in here and look at it and laugh all over again! LOL Will take it with me and show friends at Curves luncheon and bunco!

Hugs and have a good time at the luncheon today! Have a drink for John and me!

Sounds like Maggie is going through "The Change." Your friends make a lovely looking couple. I love Ambrosia and make it for summer brunches. Accoring to Mr. Groundhog Spring is right around the corner! But, he is correct only 49% of the time, LOL. I wanted to try a Sweet Lady Jane Bakery birthday cake, but Carolyn told me they are too dry and the help is snobby. Oh, well. Signing off, Sarah
