Good 42º clear June morning.
OMG June!!
I had my back surgery 4 years ago today. Wow, time sure zips along!
Yesterday I was putzing around in the kitchen and Bruiser
decides to attack a bag. This is a shopping bag provided by my son's State Farm
office...
Bruiser attacked it, jumped on it, and then took a nap on
it!
He's a nut!
Yesterday was exciting... sprayed weeds, put water in the 6 batteries in my
golf cart, straightened out the check register and paid some bills.
Whooppeeee.....
Kristen called and said she had been a chaperone with Jack's
band on a trip to Disneyland on Thursday. They had a workshop and went into a
recording studio (behind the scenes!) and were given music they had not seen
before, played, critiqued, and played and recorded it. The teacher/leader
whatever he was, said out of all the kids playing ... Jack was "spot on". He was
playing the snare drum. Go Jack!!! xo Here he is with 4 other band members
enjoying the Tea Cups...
There is a "lemon bar" recipe going around. I have seen it on several
sites. It's called "2 Ingredient Lemon Bars". The original recipe calls for a
box of Angel Food cake mix and 2 cans of lemon pie filling (42 oz total). Mix
them together, put in 9x13 pan and bake at 350º for 25 min. Dust with powdered
sugar. Jeannie made them and the consistency was, at best, icky! I decided to
make them using regular cake mix and smaller cans of lemon (30 oz total)
They weren't done in the 25 min...cooked for another 12 minutes! Didn't put
on powdered sugar. Their consistency is, yes, icky! Better than the angel food cake, but don't even bother.
So, while they were cooking I sat on the front porch enjoying the
afternoon.. Birds were out and busy...
...and the Bruise enjoyed watching the birdies too!
A fire started in Grants Pass along I-5 between exits 55 & 58 on the
north side. It has destroyed two structures and 100 acres and fire crews from
GP, Jackson Co, and the Dept of Forestry are all over it. The smoke blew this
way .... very pungent and choking....

Ok, so dinner last night, another pantry pot-luck...
Canned roast beef, tomatoes, olives, basil, garlic starter sauce, leeks,
red onion, and angel hair pasta.
Cook the pasta for about 3 min, drain. Heat the beef with the rest of the
ingredients, add the pasta, let bubble for a few minutes, add grated
cheese.
Very tasty! YUMMMMY!!! Reruns for breakfast!
All I know. Tucker has baseball game today. Happy Saturday. Ciao.
