Weather ~ Orioles ~ Bruiser ~ Dude ~ Nancy ~ Uncle Ronnie ~ Peanut Cluster Day


Good 35º gloomy dark cloudy foggy morning. Rain on the way....
   Texas and Louisiana are getting slammed with hail and possible tornados. 
Yesterday hearing about the "thunder, lightening, hail, rain, and wind" in So. Cal and even a dusting of snow at Cathy's in Acton...

I mentioned it wouldn't be fun for Californian's to be out driving. Cathy's mom, Erika, said their weatherman had a suggestion, "don't drive when the roads are wet" !!! LOL.  So true down there!

We had cold and gloom half the day. Even put my clothes in the dryer before putting them on. Burrrrrr....................... Here is the picture from the summit yesterday..

Then by noon the sun came through and the clouds were beautiful with the blue sky... warmed to 53º by early afternoon. No snow on the summit this morning.
Tucker's Little League team this year is the Orioles. I ordered me a shirt and a water bottle...
 


Oh, and speaking of Tucker, I had posted a photo of him at the bowling alley when he was in a competition recently, February 22nd. Well, they found out he won for his division!!! He should have the trophy soon!!
When I try to get things done at my computer, sometimes Bruiser makes it impossible...

Fortunately I don't have that problem with Dude. He's content to lay and watch out the door... a bonus for him having glass doors!

Today there are two special birthdays.. my niece, Nancy, whom I haven't seen in YEARS! This photo taken in 1954 or 1955 (I think) with her little sister MaryAnn... OMG she's eligible for SS now!!!!


and... Jerry's brother Ronnie (with his wife Teena Sue... Ronnie a nut just like his brother!!)  ....
                    HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU BOTH, NANCY & RONNIE!! Wish we could chat!!! It's been a LONG time. I miss you both!

I found some interesting cooking shows on TV last night. One was on The Cooking Channel, The Best Thing I Ever Ate. Our channel is DirecTV 232. They have chefs on talking about the topic. Last night one was food with nuts... candies, cakes, etc. Really fun show. They pick from restaurants all over the country.
This was the 'usual'... chair, wine, TV, cat on lap.
Tonight I am going to make something new... with cabbage...
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Tuesday. Ciao.
