Good 46º, 10º warmer than yesterday, morning. Wispy clouds out there. Radar
showing rain down through California. And of course all over the Gulf side of
Mexico and up through Texas with that hurricane Patricia!
So, all my "Pat" friends.... now we can call you Hurricane Pat! Like my
friend Sandy got famous with Hurricane Sandy!
Loren Otto of the Marine Corps League posted this. SO TRUE!!!
No police code for 10-24 or 10-25 or 10-26.
You have to watch these crazy cats.... Halloween is a comin'
Yesterday was haircut day. My Leah works at Shear Perfection on NE 6th St
next to the Lion's Gate church. Kandy owns the shop and Lisa also works there.
If you want a neat place to go, lovely and quaint inside, and good hair cuts,
colors, etc, then go there! 1457 NE 6th St, Grants Pass.
Then I was going to meet a couple of the gals for lunch, but they couldn't
make it. So... I took Brian to lunch at The Vine next door to his State Farm
office on Allen Creek Rd, by Haggan and McDonalds.
He had a meatball sandwich, that he LOVED!
I had a portabello mushroom burger with sweet potato fries and they put a
little cup of marshmallow sauce with them. OMGOOOOOOOOD!!! OINK OINK
OINK!!!
You know me, I'm always taking pictures but get this "Mom!" from
Brian...
Ok, fine. The restaurant is lovely and the food is GREAT!
Our waiter was Manny. So nice.
Then I headed to the Post Office and picked up some packages, mailed
letters, to the market for chicken thighs on sale and spinach and wine. Pharmacy
for prescription and the package store for a box to mail some special stuff to
my Kristen. Came home and put mail on dining room table and opened the box from
my sister... Left the room for a few and came back, the Bruise was napping on
top of everything!
Dude was napping on the floor below.....
Another of the packages I picked up was this book I made of pictures from
my birthday I got from Shutterfly.
