VJ Day ~ Chicken Month ~ 50th Anniversary!


 
Good 46º morning. Not as cold as yesterday and will warm up quite a bit today ... probably in the low 90ºs. Fires raging all over.... Yreka area in No. Ca burning 75 acres, central Oregon 90,000 acres burned, Texas has massive fires. I can smell the smoke in the air from the No. Cal fire.


Breakfast yesterday was scrambled eggs with bacon crumbles and rolled up in a jalapeño wrap with cheese mayo and chives and lettuce....



 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Once the chores were done I went shopping in Grants Pass. Stopped in to see Brian and Emily at his  
 office, but they were wayyyy busy, so headed out to spend $ ...


Grange for nyjer seed for the finches, black oil sunflower seed for the gray squirrels, and "Cheese It" like dog cookies for Maggie. (She thinks she's getting 'people food'...LOL) Stopped in Safeway for some mangos and black beans.... recipe tomorrow, and some 'Buttery Caramel' coffee. Real Deals had some cute Halloween stuff and I also got a frog..


Then to the car wash...


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
Then home to put everything away and then give the golf cart a bath. Reruns for dinner... lobster ravioli.... mmmmmm....


We have the Extreme Home Makeover crew in Medford to build a house for a family. They have lots and lots of volunteers. The show will air later as the 9th show of the season.


Today is the 245th day of the year. Only 120 to go.....

Jacque and I had just gone to bed in our hotel room in down town Halifax after arriving on a flt from LA. All of a sudden a low flying jet aircraft flew over the hotel, shaking the room and windows like a LA earthquake. Scary! It was not until the next morning we learned it was Swiss Air Flt 111 we heard and felt the night before! Very sad. We visited the memorial on a later visit. It is very beautifully done. This has been the week of air disasters in my life!
