Good 46ยบ clear morning.
This is Police Officer Memorial Day ... also Police
Week...
Honoring
Brothers and Sisters who have fallen in the line of duty.
.... including my friend Raul Gama. RIP Raul. Your lovely family misses you and your friends miss you.
Thank you to all of
those who have served in law enforcement... from the tan & green to the
blue. All heroes in my book, including my late husband Jerry ♥ and my daughter
Kristen! So proud of what you did Kristen! ♥
Here is a panorama I took yesterday morning about
7:30...
...and the one I took in the afternoon while Rick was brush hogging...
Breakfast was a burrito. I cooked some ground round with the following
seasonings:
Then I added eggs and topped with cheese. GOOD!

renamed the United

New York, Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady
Stanton form the National
Woman Suffrage Association.
1905 – Las Vegas, Nevada, is

downtown, are auctioned off.
.... ah yes, we went to the McDonalds in Alhambra on Main
Street & Granada Ave.
15¢ burgers, 10¢ fries, 10¢ cokes. Milk shakes were 20¢! Of
course a gallon of gasoline was only 35¢ and a loaf of bread 50¢.

astronaut L. Gordon Cooper on board. He

... you wonder "WHAT WERE HER PARENTS THINKING? to allow a 16 year old
to do this! OMG. Amazing she accomplished this feat.
And births this date include...
The following requested by Anonymous commentator on my blog

Life's simple pleasures:
"Seeing the sun rise and set."
Yesterday I finally got to spray the roads! The new pump motor
on the sprayer works perfect! Thanks Dave.
Maggie and Dude and I took a ride in the golf cart to open the gate first
thing in the morning. Bruiser decided to follow along... nut. He climbed a tree
and I had my camera...
Rick showed and brush-hogged all day. Lots got done. He spent
7 hours on the big pasture. He'll be back today to tackle the upper pasture.
He did an excellent job. The best of anyone I've hired so far. Cut it
really close and tight. Nice.
Dinner was a can of Progresso Chicken and Dumpling soup. Too tired to cook.
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Hump Day

National Chocolate Chip
Day
Ah, the ubiquitous chocolate chip. As Fun Food Holidays go, National Chocolate Chip Day is a no-brainer, as these heavenly little drops represent the primary way many people eat chocolate in the first place. Good in cookies, muffins, trail mix, pancakes, and so much more.
