Good 55º .. 86% humidity .. clear sunny morning. This slob slept in until 7:15! Holy cow. Now the day is half over.
The news of the 22 Navy Seals dying, including 8 other Americans ... 3 in the Air Force, an interpreter, a dog handler and his dog... in that helicopter shelling and crash in Afghanistan was so devastating. God be with their families. A tragedy they will never recover from. Young and brave men. My heart breaks and I cry every time I hear about it or think about it. Damn the Taliban!
Dinner last night was 7 Oaks corn. All I wanted. Bring water to boil, add at least 1/4 cup vinegar, at least!, and it will keep the corn from ever getting mushy. Really! I also added some garlic powder and a touch of sea salt. Mix parmesan cheese with mayo and some taco seasoning with mayo, spread it on the corn. Heaven!
The Northern Hemisphere is considered to be half way through it's summer and the Southern Hemisphere is half way through it's winter on this date.
Historically this date...
1782 – George Washington orders the creation of the Badge of Military Merit to honor soldiers wounded in battle. It is later renamed to the more poetic Purple Heart.
And births this date include....
Such an odd looking man!
Such a funny man!
Such a good looking man!
Pretty girl. Good actress!
Yesterday I met up with Bill and Jeannie at the Grower's Market in Grants Pass. We went through the booths, mostly produce and breads and cheeses. Awesome.
From a Korean gal, Cindy, that Bill and Jeannie know, I bought her Ginger Teriyaki. She let me try some on these teeny tiny little nori wrapped rice rolls..... YUMMMMMMMM
(Aren't these just too cute!)
Jeannie and I both agreed these earrings were fun but the bead looked like fat butt cheeks!
We even saw some yellow raspberries! I called them 'blonde'. Never saw those before. Shoudda bought some... but oh well...
Ran into Brian and Sami and Tucker. Never did see Jen. Hmmm... Where were you, sweetheart??? I did pick up some regular raspberries and blueberries for Candy. Got some carrots for me. Munch munch munch....
Stopped in at the Elks for a wine, then went to Candy and Bob's for a short visit. Nice afternoon.

This (funny, scary, and sad) from a lovely wife (Tally) of an old high school friend (Spencer Huntoon) and retired LA Co Fire dude...
5000 years ago, Moses said to Israel, "Pick up your shovels, mount your asses and camels, and I will lead you to the Promised Land."
When Welfare was introduced, Roosevelt said, "Lay down your shovels, sit on your asses, light up a Camel, this is the Promised Land."
Today, the American Government has stolen you shovel, taxed your asses, raised the price of Camels, and mortgaged the Promised Land to China.....
Happy Sunday. All I know. Nuff said. Ciao.

As always, loved your Blog. Navy Seals, devastating! So very sad. If we would have known about the raspberries and cream day we could have bought the berries yesterday! Oh well.
OK, thank you! But, you didn't sign your name, so I'm guessing J&B???
Great Sunday blog, Sue. Thanks for the Navy Seals mention. Can you believe, some people haven't heard about it yet! Turn off the damn reality shows and watch some news!

Thanks Tally! Yes, you are right. Folks need to know what is going on. Quit sitting in the dark and thinking everything will be OK. xo
War is always sad. Even when necessary. Why we insist on "playing" it like a video game- when you announce when you are going to take a time out- compounds the tragedy.
Our oldest son was born with the same lung deficiency as the Kennedy child that died in infancy. The difference was man went to the moon- and came back with technological advances that helped him breathe until he was strong enough to do so on his own.
A new technical miracle for you and your son! Wonderful. xo
Greetings from Halifax, Nova Scotia. I have been here 10 days now. We had our 53rd and 1st High School reunion. 18 out of the 28 graduates were here. I am excited to see you visited Peggy's Cove. Time for a beer and some NS dulce now.
Wonderful Ike! Glad you are enjoying your trip! Yes, Peggy's Cove was awesome, beautiful, and fun! Enjoy the beer!!!
