Good 46º raining full moon morning. Be careful out
there!
The kids (Maggie and Dude) and I took a golf cart ride up to
the back of my property where the guys are trimming the undergrowth in the BLM.
Chatted with a couple of them. Then to the pond to check it out...
Dude jumped out and he ran all the way back to the house. He loves doing
that!
If you like kids, this video is sooo cute! Kids tasting foods
they have never tried before... icky, some of them ... anchovy, pickled onion,
etc.... I just sat here and smiled! I remember taking Kristen when she was
about 2 or 3 to a buffet in Pasadena often. She sat in her highchair facing the
line of people coming in. I'd give her a piece of lemon and she kept the whole
line entertained with her faces. Wish I had film of that~!
Two years ago this date I wrote:
People, I am so tired of hearing about the Swartzeneggers,
Oprah (will be glad when she finishes her last show!), Lohan, and "Obama
exploring his Irish roots". GAG. I guess I really hoped my Irish side had some
bright folks, but after seeing the news how the crows in Ireland fawned and
cheered over BO, I almost threw up!
Thank goodness Sheen and Jessie James are fading out. What
idiot next? Hmmmm..... cranky this morning are we? Yes.
And today that idiot Lohan is STILL in the news!
I also wrote....
My heart just goes out to
the folks in Joplin Missouri. What tragedy and sadness. Unbelievable
destruction. I cried watching the news. Think they'll be askin' for food stamps
and new TV's and trailers to live in, forever! ? I doubt it. Pathetic some of
the folks in this country. Sit on their big fat asses and hold their hand out
and never once do anything to contribute. Ok ok ok... off the
More homes destroyed in that tornado than in Oklahoma.
Nine years ago today my sister Marion
passed away. She was an awesome sister and my best friend. She died from adult
onset Leukemia at age 69, two months before her 70th birthday.
With her husband Bill and 3 of her 4 boys... l-r Andy,
Jimmy, and Bobby.
Historically this date...
1962 – Project Mercury:
American astronaut Scott Carpenter orbits
the Earth three times in the Aurora 7 space capsule.
1994 – Four men convicted of bombing the
World Trade Center in New York in 1993 are each sentenced to 240 years in
prison.
And births this date include...
Yesterday I was going to have my car washed, but changed my mind. It always
rains when I do that and since it was predicted for this weekend's Boatnik celebration I am
holding off. Stopped in at Brian's office to take him the USMC hat and pick up
VIP tickets for the Boatnik, free parking and free beer/wine tickets.
Yippeeee....
Then to Infuzed Express. http://www.infuzedrestaurant.com/
Shelly and KC who were part of The Mediterranean restaurant we loved so much are
now operating a 'drive through' restaurant. Soon to have gazebos for outside dining...
Shelly and "Knotty" Gnome....
You can read their menu on their link. I ordered sweet potato fries, the
'Lost Coast' (salmon slider with spinach, mushrooms, garlic, tomato, red bell
pepper all sauteéd in white wine), a pizza wrap with garlic 'infuzed' pesto -
pepper jack cheese - bacon-chicken-& bell pepper, and cilantro potato salad.
I took these treats to Bill and Jeannie's. We gobbled them down! Everything
OMGOOD! Goin' back for more~!
Played with Chaka and took a few pictures before heading back home to my
brood...
Jeannie was hiding! Their yard is so pretty and that tree is so
interesting!
The 'funny' greeting at their gate..... (yes!)
All I know. Nuff said. Happy TGIF. Ciao.

Fun day yesterday, and again, thank you! Big thanks for not posting some of those pics. You were busy snapping away with "Knotty".
Great to see Shelly's picture, and the food was fantastic. Can't wait to try more!
Great picture of Brian, and a big Thank You to him too!!!
Priscilla Presley, I thougt, use to be really pretty, and then she started the plastic surgery stuff and destroyed her look. Sad.
Wonderful tribute to your sister Marion. I'm sure 9 years seems like yesterday to you. Cute pictures of the two of you.
That video with the kids is funny. Some of the food they were sampling, I would have made some icky faces too!
That is great Dude loves to run like that. Reminds me of Chaka. Pretty soon he will look at you and try to tell you "let's go, time to run".
Okay enough of my ramble, have a wonderful day and we will chat later. xo
Jeannie
I knew you'd probably want to strangle me if I posted all the pictures. Had to get even with Billy for snapping my picture!!! Gadz, I'm ready to go back to Infuzed and get another pizza wrap! Mmmmmmm......
See ya manana for the parade. May bring a chair for his old back! xo
Oh I loved the video of the kids tasting. Too funny! Loved the little girls with the olives in her mouth, I think she decided she liked them. :)
Loved seeing your pond and the Dude running.
One can tell that you were very close and loved sister dearly. She looked like she could have been your mom.
Darling pic of Brain. He's sure a good looking guy.
Your food for lunch looked scrumptious and loved the photos of Jeannie and Bill and their landscape. What an interesting tree they have. What is that?
No way could I look at the snails! NEVER will one pass these lips either! I always think of all the Snarol we have used over the years! :(
Good blog!!!
XO Trisha
