Good 35º clear sunny morning. Yesterday we topped at 73º! WOW. Nice.
Old comedians liked to tell clean jokes. Here is an oldie but
a goodie:
I just got back from a pleasure
trip. I took my mother-in-law to the airport.
Historically this date...
1836 – Texas Revolution: The
Battle of San
Jacinto – Republic of Texas
forces under Sam Houston defeat troops
under Mexican General Antonio
López de Santa Anna.
1934 – The "Surgeon's Photograph",
the most famous photo allegedly showing the Loch Ness Monster, is
published in the Daily Mail (in 1999, it
is revealed to be a hoax).
And births this date include....
Yesterday I headed to Tucker's baseball game about 1:30. When I returned
home about 4:30 I found out that Dude was on his way down our road looking for
me about 10 minutes after I left. Thank God Frank and Cindy were outside and saw
him. Frank called him but he beat it back this way. This happened twice. Then
Frank and his grandson Evan got on their quad and came up here. Dude was near
the barn and headed to the gate that I though I had fixed with a bungee cord.
Not sure if that's how he got out, but pretty sure. Will work on that gate
today. Frank let him in, only after Dude licked Evan's face from chin to hair in
one fell swoop! Dude, Maggie, and Bruiser were waiting for me when I returned.
So grateful to Frank, or who knows what would have happened to Dude if he had
gotten to the road!
Tucker's team, Texas Rangers, played the Grants Pass Scrappers. Sadly we
lost 11-7 but it was well fought and Tucker was awesome! Here 'coach' is giving
them a pep talk. It was a good one!
Sami showing off her "tattoos" Bobo brought her....
..........and Mom and Brian.......
Tucker had hit the ball and made it to 1st base, then to second, then to
third, and was stealing home....
SLIDE!!!!!!! Yes. SAFE!
Doing his thing.... catching....
....and in the outfield, taking a break while a new pitcher warms up, with
Dad!
I came home and got the news of Dude's escape, chatted with friends, and
made dinner.... while the Bruiser kept an eye on the dogs from his perch.... and
Dude kept and eye on me!
Dinner was a new pasta, called Trottole (When you pronounce this use your
best Italian accent, hold your right hand up, fingers together and say
"Traa-toe-lay" ! Right Mike?)
( Click here: Pasta find — trottole — and what’s your favorite pasta
shape? | Eats Blog ) Really really good. Can be found at Target.
First I sauteéd some veggie meatballs (Costco) in olive oil, along with grated
garlic, canned drained artichoke heart quarters, sweet peppers, and tomatoes.
Meanwhile cooking the pasta....
To the pan add the drained pasta, Alfredo sauce, pesto, stir well, add
grated cheese (I used yellow/white but Parmesan would be great). OMGOOOOOD!!!
All I know. Sunny Sunday. Enjoy your day, unless of course you are clearing
your property of trees and branches and having a ginormous humongous burn pile
and working your little tushie off again.... like you did yesterday! Ciao.
