Good 53º cloudy morning.
We ended up with .28" in the first hour.
It looks like it will be nice the rest of the week....
You will love this... the disappearing car trick... sent to me by Deeewayne Honeee. (aka Duane Preimsberger! for you LASD folks.)
Jerry and I went to a party for Duane, a promotion party or birthday or something, I can't remember. Anyway, his wife, Judy, got him a Dolly Parton look-alike to sing to him. Her name was Polly Darton and she called him "Deeeewayne Honeeee". It stuck. (Eh, Duane?)
I found this picture of a momma hummer feeding her baby...
Breakfast yesterday was pancakes... as my buddy Linda suggested, put them in the waffle iron! What a great idea. So I did and it crisped the edges. Good! Since I can have sugar free syrup and only 2 T, I put 1 T on the pancakeffles and 1 T on my yogurt and bananas.
Just as a side note..... I am down 6 pounds in 14 days!!! Yaaaaaa hoooooooooo! The diet is easy and I am never hungry, and I can use my cooking creativeness .... a challenge, with prepared food. Now Nutri-System not only has dry packaged food they send frozen entrees as well. All good.
Yesterday I picked up a bunch of wood that was up on the hill and took it to the burn pile. Then I collected some rocks and put them on Yukon's grave. More to do, but enough bending over for one day. Pulled weeds. Vacuumed upstairs and the stairs. Huff puff huff puff...... Cleaned the carpet in my bathroom and blew the debris from all the winds, off the front porch.
Here's a recipe that is wonderful... Got it from an old friend:
(Tom passed away in 2007)
Historically this date....
1944 – World War II: Battle of Normandy begins. D-Day, code named Operation Overlord, commences with the landing of 155,000 Allied troops on the beaches of Normandy in France. The allied soldiers quickly break through the Atlantic Wall and push inland in the largest amphibious military operation in history.
1968 – Don Drysdale of the Los Angeles Dodgers throws his record 58th consecutive scoreless inning, a major league record until 1988.
1971 – A midair collision between a Hughes Airwest Douglas DC-9 jetliner and a United States Marine Corps McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II jet fighter near Duarte, California claims 50 lives.
2005 – The United States Supreme Court upholds a federal law banning cannabis, including medical marijuana, in Gonzales v. Raich.
....obviously it doesn't apply in Orygun!
And births this date include....

.....And a lot of people I never heard of or aren't impressed with.
....BUT, it is my friend Joan's cousin, my email pal, Mike's wife .. Nan's birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY NAN. Wish I could have a martini with you! Have a great day!!!!
All I know. Nuff said. Ciao.

June 6th
National Yo-Yo Day
The yo-yo is certainly not a new creation; the famous toy has been around for nearly 3 millennia, popular in ancient Chinese, Greek, and Filipino culture. The yo-yo as we know it was introduced in the early 1900's by Donald F. Duncan, Sr., born on this very day. Coincidence??? LOL.
The best way to celebrate National Yo-Yo Day is with a yo-yo (Duh)! There are numerous types of yo-yos; they come in different shapes, sizes, some even light up! So celebrate this zany holiday by showing off a few tricks you pick up, such as walking the dog, around the world, or split the atom.

Sue,
I am thinking Edda tried to post about the Dolly Parton look alike that we had the pleasure of seeing. It was over a year ago at an 80th bday party for our friend Gene Doss. (His wife Helen passed away not too long ago). This gal was the image of Dolly and was soooo funny! Gene loved it! It was a dinner at an Italian restaurant that was closed to the public that day. It was one to remember!
I am talking to John about trying Nutra System again. We never had any of the frozen stuff the last two times we were on it. Just got an email this morning about 50% OFF so just may give it another try and actually WEIGH myself before starting this time!
Congrats on the weight loss! Won't give up my evening two glasses of Chard tho. Some things just aren't worth it! :):)
Sounds like you are working waaay too hard! Oh well, all that exercise helps the weight loss too.
We spent the afternoon continuing the clean up of Kev's room. More to do!
XO Trisha
T, of all the people I know you are certainly one of the few who DON'T need a diet. You look fabulous! You are tall and think and perfect. Why in the world would you want to diet????
HUGS.... xo
LOVE the hummingbird picture. Our bunnies are getting "tame". This morning mamma was watching over the baby sunbathing on the lawn.
Have everything for the rouquefort spread. Will serve tonight.
Awww...bunnies. Pictues please. You will like the spread. Guaranteed. xo
Sue,
I always return later to read the comments. You have made my day! Thank you for the kind words but in photos you can't see from the waist down. I have put on weight really all over and some clothes are tight. I hate that! I was a great size until I started screwing around with my hormones! One day I suddenly realized that I had a TIRE around my middle and a pooched out tummy and fat hanging over my bra.
The "skinny" look is just an illusion. :):)
XO Trisha
Good job with the illusion! Sometimes smoke and mirrors can be our best friends! xo
