Good 52º gonna be another scorcher day! Hit 103º yesterday.
Yes did my share of both whining and wine!!
Today is a humbling day. Memory kicks in to that horrible tragic
morning and all the visuals on the TV. Unspeakable. I was wrapped in a blanket
in front of the TV all day. It still makes me so sad to the point of being
teary-eyed.
My friend Marie Vincent (former Temple City neighbor) sent the
following link. With today in mind and what happened on 9-11-2001 watch this and
remember...
.... and so since it was the hatred of Muslims for our country
and all people who aren't of their ilk, my friend Charlean (Gottesman) Allen
(LASD ret) sent me the following:
"Obama says to create harmony by learning Arabic. We might as
well get on the bandwagon. The current administration wants us to learn more
about Muslims and accept them into our culture. So, I'm making a sincere effort
to communicate with our Muslim friends and learn Arabic for the sake of
'cultural diversity'. This is my first attempt....."
Today is the birthday of a couple of special people... my friend (former LASD SR and Choirboy) Jim Hoffman. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JIM!! And my dental hygienist and friend, Liz O'Conner, from Bright Now Dental in Grants Pass. HAPPY BIRTHDAY LIZ!!! See you next Monday!!

Yesterday I went to Bill and Jeannie's to celebrate her birthday. I
had made her a lemon cake and filled a basket with her favorite things.. .frogs,
Paydays, caramels, Bob's Seasoning Salt, and got her some car mats for her new
ride with frogs on them!
Jeannie made jalapeño poppers with the jalapeños from her garden.
They were SOOOOOOOOOOOOO good!!!! We had wine and chatted. Chaka was a
doll....
And when I was leaving, Jeannie gave me "poppers to go" and a
cantaloupe from their garden. Will cut that today!
In the trunk of my car were some hats, I gave Jeannie one...she
modeled it! Safari.......
Yesterday also, my Keurig showed up in the hands of our UPS Dave,
former Dude owner.... Dave was happy to see Dude as Dude was happy to see Dave
and even ate two dog cookies Dave gave him! Dude NEVER eats dog cookies!
LOL.
Today I will read the directions and make coffee and/or
tea...
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Hump Day. Ciao.

September 11th
Hot Crossed Buns Day
Hot cross buns predate the arrival of Christianity - the cross
originally representing the pagan sun wheel. Queen Elizabeth I converted the
buns to Christianity and declared that the buns may only be eaten at funerals,
Easter and Christmas.

WOW! What great gifts for Jeannie! What a good friend you are but I am sure it's reciprocated!
Ask Jeannie to share her popper recipe. Love those!
Now, tell us all about your Keurig and how you like it. Shhhh I am toying with the idea of giving it as a gift to one of my kids.
Also let's not forgert 9/11/12 in Ben Gahzi (sp?) That is an outrage and we still don't have answers! Four Americans died and the truth is being kept from us.
Have a good one and stay cool. The temps have dropped in in So. Cal. Thank goodness.
XO Trisha
I will ask Jeannie to share. So good!!!!
I made my first cup. Easy. More on that later.
No, we can't forget Bengazi... such a blantent tragedy.
xo
Thanks for sharing that heartbreaking 9-11 remembrance video. Remembering that dreadful day will always make me cry. I don't think any of us functioned too well that day. I was able to find it on youtube and downloaded it. Love your friend Charlene's comment to the muslims!
Have a great day. Erika
There are Muslims who are not wishing all of us were dead, and I hope if any of them read that, they don't take it personal to how they view their religion.
Not to be totally upstaged by Cousin Carla's namesake- there was a Hurricane Lydia in 1993- she was rated as unpredictable but didn't do much damage.
Faith is personal.
I think GW Bush was very wise in how he spoke and acted towards Muslims in America.
