Good 28ยบ morning. (Heat wave!)
This morning, no ice. Hummers happily eating away when I got up. (late, 7:am!)
Been whining about the cold here.... and then my niece, Melinda, posted a picture of her front door....
LOL, she thought she wouldn't have to shovel
snow in Reno after they moved from Tahoe!
So, remember it was Banana Bread Day on the 23rd? Well when I went to Patty and Cliff's for dinner two nights ago, he had a loaf of banana bread for me that he made. OMG, it is soooooooooooo good. He said he put in extra walnuts and extra banana. That's all I want .. banana bread and butter. Oink oink oink......
Hard to believe it's been 2 years since PJ found Mr. Big Stuff at that Gold Hill off ramp where he'd been for at least two days.... waiting for someone or something...., he stayed here a week, and then Janie and I took him half way to Modesto, meeting up with Tammy and Gary who became his adoptive parents. Tammy and I met on MySpace and she wrote that her beloved lab had died and she would like to have Big. I checked with the Animal Control, all the local vets, put ads in paper and at the market and on the radio. Nobody claimed this beauty. Imagine! So he became a California dog!
Here we go on a road trip. What a beautiful dog he is!
Gary's first meeting with Big. He later renamed
him 'Sideways', because of the way he sits!
This dog is so devoted to Gary and Tammy.
And today with his buddy Jaco.
See how Jaco's foot is touching Sidesy!

And then, if you haven't seen the video of the Black Lab and the deer, you have to watch this. You are guaranteed to smile.
Last night I picked up Ruth (our Jackson County Republican Women's President) and her husband, Shelly. We went to the Red Lion for the Jackson County Republican Central Committee's Lincoln Day Dinner. What a nice evening. Our US Congressman Greg Walden was a speaker, also attended by our state Senator Jason Atkinson (he and I belong to an exclusive club... GSW with injury! More on that later...) and Dennis Richardson, my district's State Representative. Dinner of a wonderful salad, wine on each table (red and white), chicken breast with a creamy parmesan sauce, vegetables and mashed potatoes. Really good! And a chocolaty raspberry cake thingy. Mmmmm... I dropped Ruth and Shelly off at home and got back here after 10pm. Maggie and Harley hungry and happy to see me. Although, when I put Maggie's food in her dish, Harley helped himself! Gaaaaaa.... He did leave most of it for Maggie. What a guy!
More on the JCRCC dinner later with pictures.
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Sunday.
