Good 25º somewhat clear morning here. Everything frozen........again.
Darn!
The Siskiyou Summit isn't looking too fun....
Neither is downtown Grants Pass....
Today is the anniversary of my Mom and Dad's wedding. Leslie Laney and
Margaret Mills eloped to Tombstone Arizona in 1926.
Tombstone was the county
seat. Mother lived in Bisbee Arizona, and worked in a city office. Daddy was
with the US Marshall's office and was passing through the area, met my mom,
fell in love.... the rest is history... Here they are at their 50th wedding
anniversary at the Huntington Hotel on Oak Knoll in Pasadena....
"In 1882 the Cochise County Courthouse was built at a cost of about
$45,000.
It provided offices for the county sheriff, recorder, treasurer, board of
supervisors, and included a well built jail. The courthouse was a comfortable
symbol of law and stability in these turbulent times. The county seat remained
in Tombstone until voters in 1929 chose to move it to Bisbee, a bustling copper
mining town 29 miles away." After they were married they lived in Douglas
Arizona for a while and then moved to So. California. They lived in Hollywood
and moved to El Sereno (ELA, next to Ahlambra and south of Pasadena) where I was
born and grew up.
Got this from George Bachmeier (LASD ret).... some good information for
those of you with garages....
Garage Security
The following videos show hot to break into a garage and how to also deter
thieves that may try it. Share with your family and friends...
How to get into a garage:

My friend Linda Rohrbaugh (she breeds and sells German Shepherds if anyone
is interested!) found the following and shared it...
String cheese chopped into bite size pieces, dipped in milk and bread
crumbs. Bake at 425º for 8-10 minutes. Serve with marinara sauce. She said she
made it for her grandkids but she said there wasn't enough left to share! LOL~
Go Linda!

Brandy Alexander Day
|
To transition out of Healthy Food Month at THE NIBBLE and gird ourselves
for Valentine’s Day carbs, we thought we’d celebrate Brandy Alexander Day.
It’s dangerously good—like a spiked milkshake.
According to the Classic Cocktail Club of Milan, Italy, the Brandy
Alexander was created in 1922 in London, “at the time of” the wedding of Mary,
Princess Royal and Countess of Harewood to Viscount Lascelles. However happy
that marriage turned out, we’re happy the Brandy Alexander is part of its
legacy.

goblet or other alternative to a martini
glass.

Thanks sharing the piece about the garage door. I think John must have seen this a while back bcause he has been insisting on locking the door coming into the house from the garage. After all these years I have wondered WHY? Now I know!
I say this every time I see her pic but you sure look like your mom!
Of course Bruiser likes sleeping on your MOUSE pad! lol

I had a Brandy Alexander once! Loved it- must remember it when I am out and about.
Carole Channing married a fellow from this area. She lived here until recently. He passed away and she moved to Palm Desert, I believe... Love t&g
