On December 12th 1957, at age twenty-two, Jerry Lee secretly married for the third time; wedding his second cousin, thirteen-year old Myra Brown, the sister of his bass player, J.W. Brown. Though it was not an uncommon practice in the south for cousins to marry, it was considered somewhat unorthodox by much of the rest of the world. While there were no immediate repercussions in response to his marriage, the action would soon come to haunt him.

Yesterday was a busy one. Got up, made tea, turned on computer and there was a note from Brian that they were going to Taprock for brunch and wanted me to join them. 9:30!! YIKES. RUN...................................... So, managed to get blog done and shower and dressed and made it! Before I left here I was backing out and the Bruise was acting like he wanted to go with me!

He jumped up on the fence and looked at me like, "How come you're not takin' me?" LOL.
Actually the other day I pulled in, got out of my truck to check a ground squirrel trap, and along came Bruiser. I picked him up and put him in the car and headed to the carport. He was so interested, being in a vehicle and not being in a cat cage! He stood up on the dash looking out the window. I think he thinks it would be fun to do this more often.


Brian's friend Chris was here visiting from Cal. He is a flight attendant for Southwest Airlines. Of course Taprock right on the river is the place to bring visitors. Saturday they had made the trip to Crater Lake to show Chris where the Rogue River starts. If he had been able to stay longer they probably would have taken him to the coast to see where the river ends! Sadly he had to go back home yesterday. Chris is just a short guy, NOT! Wonder how he fits through those doors on the planes! Here is with one of SW pilots...

Tucker and Sami just love Chris. What's not to, I do too!

We had the buffet...

OMG, oink oink oink!! Turkey wrap, melon, cheese cubes, bacon, scrambled eggs with gravy, egg benedict, blintzes with strawberries, waffle and berries with whipped cream, and baklava! I will never eat again! Topped that with a mimosa.


Brian, Jen, Chris, and the kids headed to Fort Vannoy Farm to get some pumpkins. http://fortvannoyfarms.com/ 

I came home and got ready to leave again to Bob and Micol's for Bob's birthday soireé. It was great. Beer and wine and later pizzas were delivered and Micol made a bunch of different salads. Unfortunately I was still too full to eat!They live up on top of a hill overlooking Grants Pass. You can see the I-5 from up there...

They have these two furry cats who are so cute... look like twins...


Their house is really neat and so is their yard...


Micol had this neat cake for Bob with his picture on it..

Happy Birthday Bob!!! Fun party! Several of his friends retired law enforcement and we had some great conversations. One a Ventura Co deputy and another a DA Investigator from LA.


I know these football scores will make some of you joyous, and some very sad. Sorry... 

My Patriots play tonight!





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