Taken 18 days earlier on my birthday. ♥


Today is also Jerry's former radio car partner's birthday... and our Best Man ... Steve Voors (LASD ret). HAPPY BIRTHDAY 10-30 DUDE! xoxo
(for you non-law enforcement folks, "10-30" is a radio code for 'Does not conform to regulations'.. Jerry's nickname for Steve!! LOL)
Barbara and Steve at the Laughlin Reunion a couple of years ago...
And Steve and Jerry at Jerry's retirement in 1996:

Tucker and Steve both have the same middle name, Scott. So Steve is SSV (which sounds like a fast car or jet)
SSV may refer to:
And Tucker is TSP (As his Aunt Kristen calls him, "my little teaspoon"!) So many meanings for this acronym... science, food, government, music:

Another coincidence .... Jerry hired on LASD in 1967, Kristen's birth year, and retired in 1996, her daughter Alex's birth year!
 
This is an amazing friendship....
Make you think of an old movie????

She called him shortly before his death, offering to visit him, but he did not want her to see him in his condition. She phoned him one last time, the night before his death and, according to Billie Jean herself in an HBO documentary about her, the last thing she told Riggs was "I love you."

Yesterday I canned the green tomatoes. In the jar goes tomatoes, jalapeño, and lots of garlic!
The process is easy and no water-bath. Will fill you in on that tomorrow or the next day.


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