Good 32º morning. Yesterday was beautiful and close to getting up there
towards 70º. Supposed to hit that mark this week. Yeah! Sunshine!!! And a good
thing, Maggie's water isn't frozen!!
Here is a note I got from my pal Erika... Thanks kiddo. Forgot about
this!
.....CHANGE THE TIME ON YOUR
CAMERAS
Speaking of cameras.... It's really hard to work on my desk....
I had picked up a bunch of pinecones and they were in the bed of my golf
cart. Mr. Bruise was curious about them and sniffed each thoroughly. I think the
smell of the squirrels who had been munching on the pinecones is what drew him
in...
Beth has made this rice dish that is good!!! Check it out. Island Rice
Pilaf...... long grain rice, black beans, coconut milk, pineapple........
(drooling)
So, going to make the above rice dish, but in the meantime my dinner
was:
Mushrooms, Kirkland canned chicken, garlic, Iron Chef Orange Ginger sauce,
Progresso mushroom meal starter, asparagus, tomatoes,
oil, Parmesan cheese, and pappardelle pasta...
Cut up asparagus, (I used dried mushrooms, so reconstituted them, squeezed
out water .. or just cut up fresh mushrooms) and sauteéd asparagus, mushrooms,
tomatoes, and grated in 4 cloves of garlic. Add chicken, mushroom starter,
orange/ginger sauce, cheese. I cooked pasta in the mushroom water, drain, and
add. Stir and heat.
Don't know what you'd call this, but it was GOOD!!!!
Today is a very special birthday... my friend and traveling companion, Joan
Petit-Clair is celebrating today. Here is Joan in Boston on one of our
cruises....
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRLFRIEND!!!!
Historically this date...
1945 – World War II: The Empire
of Vietnam, a short-lived puppet
state, is established with Bảo Đại as its ruler.
1946 – Rudolf
Höss, the first commandant of Auschwitz concentration camp, is
captured by British troops.
2011 – An earthquake measuring 9.0 in magnitude
strikes 130 km (81 mi) east of Sendai, Japan, triggering a tsunami killing thousands of people.
This event also triggered the second largest nuclear accident in
history, and one of only two events to be classified as a Level 7 on the
International Nuclear Event Scale.
1956 – Joey
Buttafuoco, American criminal
1965 – Jesse Jackson, Jr., American politician
So...now he's writing a book and going to make money off being an ass!
1965 – Jesse Jackson, Jr., American politician
There you go..... good old Chicago politican!!! How to
make your daddy proud: In 2012 federal prosecutors and FBI agents in Washington, D.C. investigated Jackson for alleged
financial improprieties, including possible misuse of campaign funds. Jackson
resigned from Congress on November 21, 2012, citing mental and physical health
problems, including bipolar
disorder, clinical depression, and gastrointestinal problems. On
February 8, 2013, Jackson admitted to violating federal campaign law by using
campaign funds to make personal purchases. Jackson pleaded guilty on
February 20, 2013 to one count of wire and mail
fraud.
Sunny afternoon so took trash out to road and then put up my sign...
My property has been designated by the Wildlife Federation as a "Certified
Wildlife Habitat". Which means NO HUNTING~! LOL. Sorry guys. All those deer and
elk are protected here. It also means that there is water (year round
underground spring fed pond), shelter (thick trees and brush), food (grasses and
berries), and places to raise young. Even Mr. Coyote is protected here along
with the wild turkeys, badgers, raccoons, and the fish in the pond!
All I know. Happy Monday. Ciao.

National Tools Day
There are few things that the male population worships more than his tools.
To some, a tool is a natural extension of their arm. So, Worship of Tools Day is
a logical day of celebration. And, it's definitely a guy thing. Please note
however, there are more than a few ladies who love to work with their hands, and
find today to be an important holiday.
Need a birthday or Christmas gift idea for one of the "boys" in the family?
You're never lacking for tool ideas when you visit the local hardware store.
Celebrate today by working with tools, and buying a tool or two. Receiving a
tool as a gift today, makes this truly a special day.
Song of the Day: If I Had a Hammer

I remember the Tsunami- trying to reach my nephew who was stationed in Japan- fortunately on the other side of the island. He woke up to a slew of emails and didn't know why. Thank God.
So you sprung for the "good" wildlife sign. I started to- then couldn't decide whether to get face or wall mount- how silly is that?):-
Sue,
How did you get the sign? Did they give it to you or did you purchase it? Nice!
Your dinner as always looked yummy! I can imagine you have to make several meals out of it. John wonders about that too. I told him maybe you freeze some of your leftovers for another time.
Finally got to show Eric the pics of Bruiser. Now to go back and find the video of him playing with the pencil.:)
XO Trisha
T, I had to fill out a questioneer and send pictures and give a run down of the property...how it backs up to the BLM, acreage, the pond, tree growth, etc. I sent pictures of the elk, deer, turkeys..... I had to pay for this sign, because it was a step up from the one they would send.
I hope Eric enjoys the video! xo
That is so darn cool about your property!! Wow!
National tool day eh? Nice that we can remember the tool in the white house on this special day.
Joe, LOL!!!
