Good 41ยบ (yeah, 20+ degrees warmer than it has been!) rainy morning. We did get some precip.... 12 or 6 drops at least.
Hopefully this means we're getting more rain....
I didn't finish the rest of the cornbread so I cut it up and put it in a tub outside. First the crows found it and were happily munching... then the turkeys found it...
Yesterday Maggie and I made a run to town to the post office and market. On the way back up our drive the Toms and Jakes were just moseying along.... and they continued to walk at their own pace, irregardless that there was a BIG BLACK TRUCK behind them....
This is funny... a video of the year in review by Jib Jab:
And then Trish sent this one of the Santa Academy.
Why Santa was so good to you this Christmas ...Don't let the kids see this.............. 
Santa and all his helpers were trained to be the very best Santa they could be.
Semper Fi
Dinner was another experiment.... I cooked some rice blend (brown and wild) in my 35 year old rice cooker that still cooks rice perfectly...
This rice blend is great. It comes from Costco. Then I seared some little scallops. When the rice was done I added the scallops, some shrimp, diced celery, diced yellow bell pepper, straw mushrooms (found in the Asian food section), peas, chopped green chilis ...
Stirred it all together and added some sweet hot chili sauce mixed with mayonnaise....
And lastly I added some diced Roma tomatoes.
AWESOME!
Sunset last evening was interesting...
Historically this date...
1612 – Galileo Galilei becomes the first astronomer to observe the planet Neptune, although he mistakenly catalogued it as a fixed star.
And births this date include....
.... and it was a year ago today Kristen Alex and Jack lost their little love dog, Oreo. RIP Oreo. You were the sweetest!
Oreo was a rescue dog and lived out the rest her life in the best possible way with lots of love and care.
All I know. Nuff said. Ciao.
