On a sad note, my friend Dale Yellin's mom, Corine, passed away yesterday afternoon.
To you Dale and your brother Brian and there rest of your family we send out
deepest sympathy. God Bless you and RIP dear lady!
Corine will be buried next to her husband at The National Veteran's Cemetery in Riverside California.

Breakfast was the leftover potato cakes from the Moussaka dinner
at the Mediterranean that I went to with Dale and Dee on Thursday. I LOVE those
potato cakes so much. I should just call and get three orders to go
occasionally.... so yummy!!! I heated the potato cakes and cooked a couple eggs
along with the leftover veggies and it was spectacular!
All I know. Didn't go to Costco yesterday so will have to today. Jason came
over and stacked firewood on the porch for me. Had a snuggy fire, modified
leftovers, and enjoyed the evening. Hope your Saturday is good. Semper Fi
Jarheads! xo

Sue,
Why are Marines so darn handsome, especially in uniform?
Yes, thank all you Marines for your service! God bless you!
Dinner looks good. Love to have breakfast for dinner sometime.

Happy Birthday Marines! BFF, too funny the picture of Bill, but it works. Thank you.
Dale our hearts go out to you and your family with the loss of your Mom. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Your dinner looked yummy.
Off to do a burn pile. Enjoy Costco and don't forget those peppermint covered pretzels. OMG so good. xo
Chat later.

@ T, yes, those Dress Blues are the deal breaker. Marines don't like to be called "cute" but dang if they aren't!!! John's dad was a Marine, right?
@ Jeannie, glad you liked the pic of Bill. Peppermint pretzels... sigh. I just gained a pound thinking about them!!! xo
Yes, John's dad, John Howard Bowler was a Sargeant Major in the Corps. WWII
He even wrote a book about his time there.
YES they are CUTE! :)
XO Trisha
Really T, a book??? Is it for sale somewhere?
No, not for sale. When his dad passed away John took the manuscript, had it printed and bound. He gave his sister one and we have several.
XOT
