Good 39ยบ cloudy morning.
The rain yesterday was on and off, hard at times. We got
4/10". Now "they say" for the next 8+ days we will have sunshine and heat.
Looked like this most all day:
In case you hadn't seen this...Thank you Mr.
President!!!
The
White House was glowing blue on Monday night in honor of law enforcement
officers — something many Americans have been wanting to see for
years.
@Potus & I are
honored to light @WhiteHouse blue tonight,
in honor #PeaceOfficersMemorialDay.
Thank u to law enforcement for your
service!
President
Donald Trump put on the public pro-police display for Peace Officers Memorial
Day.
Roughly one year ago, President Barack Obama faced intense scrutiny
for declining to turn the White
House blue following the Dallas police shooting, even after a request from the
head of the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association.
Tweeted by Melania Trump:
Yesterday Mike came over and worked on the burn pile.... and Dude stayed close ...
It's great when you have to do a "fire" thing and your help is
a retired firefighter!!!

This recipe by Kevin caught my attention. I LOVE mayonnaise on
my corn on the cob and thought I was the only one, but apparently it is
something that street vendors in Mexico like also! Here's Kevin's recipe for
Mexican Street Corn Soup:
This sounds heavenly..... and no, if you can't handle jalapeรฑo, you don't
need to put them in.
Later dinner was a rerun (Asian chicken wrap). Wine, chair,
and TV.
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Hump Day. Ciao.

Today is Pack Rat Day.
C'mon, admit it... .. you're a Pack Rat like the rest of us. If you are a Pack
Rat, you're in good company. You might as well come out of hiding behind those
piles of valuable "stuff", and celebrate this fun day.
Its really easy to let things pile up. After all, each item you acquire
along the road of life may have value or serve some meaningful purpose. 'Ya just
never know. Making the decision to discard something of even remotely
questionable value, is difficult, if not impossible to do. We understand you
perfectly. Why? Because most of us are pack rats.
In keeping with the intent of Pack Rat Day, here are some Do's and
Don't's:
Don't clean your room, basement, garage or any other area today.
Don't discard anything today...It may be valuable.
Don't even empty the trash today. You might have accidentally thrown out
something useful.
Do keep an eye out for useful stuff being discarded by others.
Do go to garage and rummage sales. They can be pack rat gold mines.
Do look around your belongings and be thankful for what you have.
Do spend time thinking of uses for your things. Justification for saving is
satisfying.
