Good 59º morning. Temps going up. 90ºs-100º through next
week. Took this last night after I got home from the BBQ at Applegate Valley
Ranch... 8pm... you can see the moon up there...
My friend Adria Barton (USMC BAM! Not really, actually she's tall and
thin!) went back home to Massachusetts for a visit and said her town's claim to
fame is a lake, Lake Chaubunagungamaug. OMG, saying it is
difficult, but spelling it is worse! I found it on a Google map!
Historically this date...
1927 – The Dole Air Race begins from
Oakland, California,
to Honolulu, Hawaii, during which
six out of the eight participating planes crash or disappear.
1942 – World War II: The
two-person crew of the U.S. naval blimp L-8 disappears without a trace on a
routine anti-submarine patrol over the Pacific Ocean. The blimp
drifts without her crew and crash-lands in Daly City,
California.
And births this date include...
1953 – Kathie Lee Gifford, American talk show host, singer,
and actress ....same birth date as her husband!!
......pictures of her in a show, without makeup, and with her tattoo... (!)
The singer went on to voice her adoration for First Lady Michelle Obama,
according to The Hill, saying, "Thank god for Michelle Obama." Later, that love was aimed at President Obama, "Tonight I'm not going to
show my a--. I'm going to show my feelings. How's that for living
dangerously?"
The 54-year-old then ripped off her shirt to reveal an "OBAMA" tattoo painted across her lower back. (good grief)

The BBQ at Applegate Valley Ranch last evening was GREAT~! www.applegatevalleyranch.com
The drive from my house is 25 miles..out along the Applegate River... lovely
drive...
Missy and her family do a great job. Christa (not sure of the spelling ...
sorry) or Krista is the 'bartendress'... She has these two awesome dogs.... Throttle is
the Great Dane and I can't recall the name of the Bull Terrier... but sooooo
sweet both of them! They were supposed to be in the house and not out among
us... but I was happy to see them and glad they escaped for a few minutes
anyway!
Food was cooked and served by Silver Ridge Outfitters... ( http://silverridgeoutfitters.com/ ) Unique "camp out" cooking...
with the pots of potatoes with bacon (oink...could have eaten a mountain of
these!) and the beans with pineapple (omg to die for!) sitting on coals and
coals on top of the lids...
I had salad, beans, potatoes, and the tri-tip, which was perfect...and
tender! Jeannie said the chicken was great too!
The Yellins, Dee and Dale (standing) with their pals
Dee and Dennis Shoup and Deanna and Allan Hammer (OMG, three gals all named
Dee!!!)
and us... Pattersons..Jeannie, Bill, Tammy Allgood, Candy Havercroft, Paul
Allgood, Bob Havercroft, and me (with Dale giving me a couple of horns! Thanks
Dale.)
The weather was perfect, about 80+º but shady with a breeze. Fun evening.
The wine was from Troon Vineyard... good wine, but there is a whole other story
about that...for another time! ;o)
All I know. Nuff said. TGIF. Ciao.

August 16th
National Rum Day (Just for you, Billy!!)
When Jerry and I were in Jamaica (with Fabergé when I worked
for them, for a sales meeting...) we went on a train ride to the Appleton Estates. Rum punch was
offered to all of us on the ride there... toured the rum making facilities and
boarded the train for the ride back.... Oh that rum. It fixed all those folks
up! Everyone napped on the way back. All the men were snoring!!!
LOL.
