Nanno ~ Mosquitos ~ Jack ~ Kraft/Patriots ~ Tamara Hyman


Good 43º clear morning.
Yesterday the weather was clear again with a few clouds..... temps got to 82º



Today was my grandmother, Isabell (Dunbar) Mills birthday.... 1872-1964. We called her Nanno. She was so sweet and boy could she make SUPER GOOD Scottish Shortbread and cherry cake! She was born in Glasgow Scotland. Here is an ancient photo of most of the family, Christmas 1960...

L-R my sister Betty, great aunt Sarah (Nanno's sister), niece MaryAnn, aunt Agnes (Mom's sister), nephew Joe Jr., grandmother Nanno, Mom, niece Nancy, Daddy, bro in law Joe, and me.



Did you know that the deadliest animal isn't a shark or even a snake! Most of the deaths caused by animals, it turns out, have less to do with the animals themselves than the diseases they transmit. 

Mosquitos, the pesky bugs that suck blood and transmit viruses from person to person are responsible for the most animal-related deaths. According to the World Health Organization, about 725,000 people are killed yearly by mosquito born diseases. Malaria alone affects 200 million, of which an estimated 600,000 die.


Today is also the wedding anniversary of pals Gracie & Jack Elliott (both LASD ret). HAPPY 23rd ANNIVERSARY kids!

Friday night was the first football game for PCC and Jack was in the band playing his drums...

Kristen posted pictures and a short video on her FB page. Jack's old high school, Gabrielino High, also posted that Jack was now in the PCC band! Cool.



I am mad as hell with Robert Kraft and 12 of the Patriots players!!!!!!! Kraft, being a Trump supporter, decided he didn't like what Trump said about all players should stand for the National Anthem or be fired. 12 of those idiot players did not stand, and all of the Texan players stood!!! The Patriots fans boooooooed the kneelers!

I have always loved my Patriots, but this is heartbreaking. Tommy stood with other players, showing respect! What the heqq is wrong with Kraft????
Sooooooooooooo......... I wrote a letter to Robert Kraft (will share later) and sent a copy to President Trump. Standing by.....................


Last night late I had a call from Gary Hyman. He told me his wife, Tammy, passed away early in the morning. Tammy was only 62 years old and had been hospitalized for pneumonia a week before. She wanted to come home. She was brought home Saturday and died Sunday morning.

Tammy and Gary became the parents of a black lab
"Big Stuff", as I named him, who was found by PJ on an I-5 off ramp in Gold Hill, I picked him up and brought him home and searched for his owner. Why anyone would abandon a dog like this was beyond my imagination. A real beauty! I was due for back surgery and really couldn't take on another dog, so Tammy wanted him and Janie Alden and I took him half way to Modesto to Redding where Tammy and Gary picked him up.



 He couldn't have a better home! Jaco loves him too.

Tammy and Gary's son Guerin passed away a couple years ago and Tammy was constantly heartbroken. She never ever regained her happiness. Her son was constantly in her thoughts. Gary now has Sideways (formerly Big Stuff) and Jaco and his daughter Stephani. RIP Tammy. My heart breaks for Gary and Stephani.



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

National Lobster Day

The easiest way to cook lobster was taught to me by my nephew Jimmy who had been a cook at a restaurant for a time in Tahoe..... pull the meat out of the shell by making a cut down the entire length of the shell on top.

Put the meat on top of the shell, brush with clarified butter and sprinkle with paprika.
