Good 44º rainy morning. YEAH Rain!!!!! It started in the night but I
didn't hear it. Woke at 3:30 and was having a hard time going back to sleep when
the rain started coming down in buckets at 5am. Went back to sleep like a
baby!!! Love that sound. Slept til 8!!! So far since yesterday we've gotten over
1/2 ". Still no water in my creeks, but working on it.
I had my meatloaf sandwich yesterday. OMGOOD!!! I put it on a sourdough
English muffin. Perfect. Chicken soup for dinner. I like the Progresso Lite
soups... had Chicken Pot Pie and added in chopped celery. OMGOOD!!!! A whole can
of their lite soups is only 200 calories.
Everyone has the flu bug!!! PJ said Debbie and Tom have it and PatC's
family too. Our little Sami has been with a temperature for a couple days.
Jeannie with a temp yesterday afternoon also. Everyone is coughing everywhere
you go. Take Airborne before going anywhere!!! Keeping my chewable Vitamin C
close too.
I cleaned out a big box of old computer stuff yesterday. YEAH! A good
feeling to get rid of old instructions and warranties for stuff I no longer have
also. This will make my children happy!!!
Here's the football schedule for today and tomorrow....
As for my computer, I have ordered the Windows 7 start up disc from Amazon.
It will be here Tuesday, at which time I will take it to Turk so he can re-do my
computer. Groan...... In order for me to get photos on my blog today I used another internet connection, Chrome, other than AOL and it seemed to work ok. So far, so good. Fingers crossed.
Historically
this date......
1693 – Mount
Etna erupts
in Sicily,
Italy. A powerful
earthquake destroys
parts of Sicily and Malta.
1949 – First recorded case of snowfall in Los Angeles,
California.
I
remember it. Fascinating to me. Christmas tree out in the backyard covered in
snow. Neighbor boy, Matthew, threw a snowball at me. I cried! He was several
years older, I was just four years old.
1964 – Surgeon
General of the United States Dr. Luther
Terry, M.D., publishes the landmark report Smoking
and Health: Report of the Advisory Committee to the Surgeon General of the
United States saying that
smoking may be hazardous to health, sparking national and worldwide anti-smoking
efforts.
...............all right, friends of mine, you have known for 50
years that smoking is BAD FOR YOU and yet you continue to smoke with every
excuse in the book! SHAME ON YOU! Not only are your risk factors up for dying
but you smell bad! Really.
And births this date include....
