Good 53º clear but gonna get up in the 90ºs later
morning!
Today was my Mom's birthday. She was born in Cleveland Ohio,
to Scottish immigrant parents, at her aunt's house next door to Bob Hope's
house.
1905-1994
Today would also have been Sid Hackel's (LASD SR
Capt)birthday. He was the guy who would go with The Duke on Wild Goose
fishing.
Mom and Sid ... HAPPY BIRTHDAY. Love & Hugs. xo
Can you believe this s**t!! No wonder nobody wants to work. They make more
staying home!!! These are the welfare rates across the country......
Decided to clean some stuff out of the freezer and cook.. found some
pupusas (got them at Costco... Salvadoran stuffed masa flat bread. Thicker than
corn tortillas.) stuffed with cheese, a salmon steak, frozen green beans, frozen
peas, chopped bell peppers, and in the fridge some Chelada (GOOD!!!)
I put the veggies in the crockpot, topped with the salmon steak (all
frozen) and put some clarified butter (ghee) on the salmon. Added in some
Chelada for moisture. Turned on high for 2 hours, then to low for 3. The last
hour I added three pupusas on top.
When I plated it the pupusa went on the bottom, then the salmon, then the
veggies, and I sprinkled on some mozzarella cheese.
OMGOOOOD!!!
Historical haps and famous births for this date:
Japan surrenders on my Mom's birthday. The treaty was signed on mine!
Births.. Julia Child, Debra Messing, Ben Affleck .....
Yesterday the Pest Control guy, Jimmy Stewart (no, not the actor... he died
in 1997) was here. We toured the barn. He said what I thought was mouse or
ground squirrel droppings was bat guano. They are getting in but no evidence of
them nesting in there. Today Darin comes out and starts tearing out unprotected
insulation on the stairs and cleaning out some of the mess. Then they will
enclose, under the eves, the openings to the barn where the birds are going.
What a mess! THEN I found out one of the guys coming out to help with this is a
former Dodger catcher (1983-1987), Jack Fimple!!!!
HOW FUN!!! Being an old Dodger fan I can't
wait to meet him!!!
All I know. Happy TGIF. Nuff said. Ciao.

August 15th
Lemon Meringue Pie Day
AND....
Relaxation Day is a
day to kick back and do nothing. Ahhhh! What a great day.
The stresses, the hustle and bustle seemingly consumes us, every day
of the year. Even Sundays are no longer days of rest and relaxation. There never
seems to be a day to just kick back and relax. For those us with a hectic
lifestyle, Relaxation Day is a day to look forward to. It provides a
break from the madness of your busy work and personal schedule. Todays is the
day to enjoy either doing absolutely nothing, or partaking in your favorite
relaxation activity.
Avoiding stressful activities today is the rule. For example, if golf
is your favorite hobby, yet it can cause you stress, then make plans to play
golf another day. Spending the day in a hammock is a far more appropriate
activity.

Relaxation Day? I knew there was something I forgot to put on the list.
Welcome back L!!! Yes, put it on your list!! If only we could relax like those pictured!!! xo
Happy Birthday to your dear mommie who is celebrating with the angels today.
Today is also Art and Carol Herrera's anniversary. It's either their 48 their or 49th. They are right behind us. Love it when couples are together for that long.
When I look at pics of your barn I often wonder if you aren't afraid to go in there by yourself. I sure would be. It's amazing to me that your barn is as big as my house! :)
Have a great relaxing day!
