Flo Jo's Daughter ~ Meatloaf Sandwich ~ Claire ~ Swallows ~ Strawberry Parfait


 

Good 53ยบ cloudy morning. Stayed pretty cloudy all day yesterday.... this is 4:30pm...


Today's weather doesn't sound good.... for Maggie anyway, she's afraid of thunder and I have to be gone for a bit this afternoon....


 


Last night I watched America's Got Talent and was amazed at Florence Joyner's daughter, Mary, who sang. She was awesome. Her mom, Flo Jo, won 5 Olympic medals, broke 2 world records, and her daughter was only 7 when her mom died. Her dad, Al, was with her and he had won medals as well as a gold medal in 1984 in Los Angeles.

Flo Jo died suddenly in her sleep... here is the story of the track and field royalty ... Flo and Al...


 
Today I go see an orthotics guy. Since my rheumatologist told me I have plantar fasciitis and needed special orthotics for my shoes, I contacted the guy who did Brian's. Appointment with him today. Shall be interesting.


As I said yesterday, it was meatloaf sandwich day....
I don't make meatloaf often, so this is a real treat!

Strawberry Parfait Day
Using parfait or wine glasses or even a small mason jar, alternate two or three layers each of vanilla ice cream with sliced strawberries (and blueberries). Top with a dollop of whipped cream and a sprig of mint. For breakfast or brunch, replace the ice cream and whipped cream with nonfat yogurt and add a sprinkling of granola or cereal flakes to each layer. Or use pudding in the layers or tapioca. It's all good!

..... or you can celebrate National Catfish Day!
