My sister, Marion, knew him. He had a house at Tahoe and
her real estate office rented it out for him. He sat and told
her lots of Hollyweird stories. He and his wife socialized with
the likes of Liz and Burton and some of those stories are
whoppers!

Yesterday Maggs and I went to town. I had to pick up her meds so we weighed her at the vets. Lost another pound. Down to 56. That makes 12 pounds! She's eating chicken twice a day and dog cookies occasionally so she getting enough nourishment.















And yes, I even had on green socks!
We handed out St. Pat's earrings to several of the gals, at Ace and the Post Office. I gave some of the guys at Ace and at the market green St. Pat buttons since they had no green on! They claimed their underwear was green. HA! At the market I picked up two small corned beefs, cabbage, mushrooms, and mashed potatoes.
















Buy one corned beef and get another free. Good deal!











Came home and cooked it all up....















.... and even made a 'cucumber martini'.
It was quite good, and green!














All I know. Nuff said. Happy Friday.
The Ringling Brothers Circus is here in town
at the Fairgrounds. Brian and Jen taking Tucker
and Sami today. Look forward to the pictures!
Ciao.

You were a GOOD Irish Mamma.
I made tacos.

Lettuce is green- Does that make it a kosher St Patty's Day meal?

No, lettuce doesn't count L. But, that's ok, you are not Irish, so you get a free ride ......
