Good 40º, ice on the barn roof, morning! Fall? Hope so. What a lazy slob... slept in til 8! Slow going this morning.....
Yesterday morning after watching the initial flying of the Shuttle
.... that was fun!!!
I was in the kitchen washing dishes. I washed out a glass quart jar I had
kept flax seed in and then realized I held in my hands something that is extinct
on the shelves today. It is a GLASS BF Mayonnaise jar! An antique for sure.
My Kristen lives in No. San Gabriel (southeast of Pasadena) close to where
we lived in Temple City. She got these pictures of the shuttle as it passed over
her house turning to go northwest to fly over JPL.... Great shots
Kristen~!!
Living there in Temple City we'd always get the stealth bomber turning
around over our house after making the first pass over the Rose Parade... and
heading back to Pasadena...
For more photos of the Shuttle ... go to:

This from my friend Ron Weisberger.... if you haven't had your eyes cleaned
out yet this morning, watch this.
El Dorado, CA - A couple of weeks ago the U.S. Department of Defense
announced the death of Staff Sgt. Sky R. Mote, USMC. The Family of SSGT Mote has
asked that you share this video. It is not political or religious. The camera
was attached to the motorcycle of a Patriot Guard Rider.
All I know. Off
to the kitchen to finish the mouse cookies for Tucker's party today. Happy
Saturday. Ciao.

September
22nd
National Ice
Cream Cone Day
We had a Curries
"Mile High Cones" ice cream shop on the corner of Eastern Ave and Huntington
Drive in El Sereno. A favorite place! Wish I had taken a picture of it... this
was the only one I could find.
And then in the
70's my Uncle Lloyd owned a DQ east of Sacramento in Rancho Cordova on Folsom
Blvd near Mather AFB where my husband, George, was stationed. That was OUR
hangout! Yummmm..... and of course Uncle Lloyd never charged us for
anything!
Then back to So.
Cal and Fosselman's in Alhambra on Main Street near
Raymond...
Good memories.
Good ice
cream!

An Uncle who owned a DQ? How wonderful!
Happy Kristen got the first person pictures for you.
Oh yes, Uncle Lloyd's was the best. He made the best chili dogs in the world!
Funny, Kristen debated if she should stay home in hopes of seeing the shuttle or do errands. Glad she stayed!!!
El Sereno memories as well as Alhambra.. As far as Sara Jane Moore is concerned remember her from my SEB days and dealing the Manson Family and yes Ron Wisberger and I worked SEB together..
Reserve Academy day so I a in the classroom trying to get a test written.. D

Way to go Kristen! Great pictures. Pretty exciting to see it pass right over your house.
Unbelievable you have antique mayo jar. Wonder how much you can get for it on e-bay? LOL
The story of Sara jane Moore is an interesting read. Can't believe they let her out.
Well, off to start my day. Enjoy yours, and enjoy those cookies. xo

Now tell me, did Don Swift work at SEB when John was there? Do they know each other? John was there for ten years! 1972 to '82.
