Drummer Jack ~ Costco ~ GW's Art ~ Bruiser ~ Soup ~ Shirley


Good 31ยบ burrrrrr morning! Looks like it's going to be clear and cold for a few days.... although foggy or low clouds at the moment.

Tonight is Thursday Night Football...


I was right about the rainfall... we did get an inch between Tuesday and yesterday morning.


Grandson Jack, aka Doodle Bug, was in a couple of band performances recently... one at Chaffey College and one at Ramona High. The bands and cheerleaders were photographed by Charles Frey at www.freyphotos.com . I have gone to the site and ordered a few of them... here's one of Jack with his drums... My photos, sans the type over, will arrive in a week or so...
 


Another trip to Medford, or as we affectionately call it.. Methford! The sky was overly overcast...

I did some quick shopping at Costco... dummy me thinking because the coupons aren't good until today that yesterday would be less crowded. HA! I was unhappy they didn't have the dental chews I wanted and they apparently are not carrying the Bear & Wolf Alaskan canned Pink Salmon any more! DANG!
So, did some research... the company in Seattle has closed apparently. Amazon did have some, so ordered it. 12 cans.
Will have to savor it, as probably the last I'll ever get.

I was watching Jay Leno Tuesday night (no, I don't stay up that late.. I have east coast channels and watch it at 8:30pm!) .. and he had President GW and Laura Bush on. I so enjoyed the show.   "Bushie" is into watercolor painting now and is really quiet good. He did a painting of his friend Jay and it's awesome! He also has painted his pets... dogs and cats... here's one of a cat that could be Bruiser's twin!
Speaking of Bruiser... he made himself comfy in the bookcase next to my desk....

Dinner was quick and easy last night.. you know I LOVE Progresso soups.. so cut up some of the leftover beef roast and added it to a can of 'savory vegetable' along with some mozzarella cheese and cream....


SOOOOO GOOD! Hit the spot on a cold night while I watched two episodes of Chicago Fire. (one of my favs)

 

Today is the birthday of the Shirley Low, wife of Wayne Low (SEB Motors...ret yet Wayne?) HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHIRLEY!
 

 

All I know. Happy Thursday. Nuff said. Ciao.

.... and for your sillies who still smoke....

THE GREAT AMERICAN SMOKE OUT DAY
When : Third Thursday of the month Great American Smokeout Day is today.  Finally kick the habit. The goal of this special day is quite obvious: to get people to quit smoking, resulting in fewer health problems, and  less cancer and emphysema deaths resulting from smoking and secondary smoke. Quitting smoking is not an easy task. Often(usually), it takes repeated efforts. That's okay, as long as you keep trying until you finally succeed. The health benefits, and the prospect of a longer life are crystal clear. The American Cancer Society encourages all smokers to give up the "butt" today. Join millions of other Americans today and take a big step to a happier, healthier, longer life.

.... and besides you will smell a hell of a lot better!!!!! I can't believe the cost of cigarettes. OMG, you could have so many other neat things besides smokes!!!!
