Ok, so today I will mail boxes, go to Safeway and get a few items, see about getting my glasses fixed (where Dude chewed the temple) and see about a watch band... I may go to
Jeannie's and see how her tomato/onion/marinara caper is going ....
My granddaughter Alex has filled out the paperwork to register for the
2013-2014 Pasadena Tournament of Roses Court. HOW exciting!!! She is tall,
pretty, and smart... she could be Rose Queen or on the Rose Court. We'll all
make the trip to Pasadena for New Years if Alex gets picked!!!

Lemon Juice Day
Mmmmm.... lemon martini!
Basic Lemon Drop Martini:
4 oz vodka
2 oz lemon juice
fine sugar on a plate to sugar the rim of the glass, if you like that...I
don't
lemon slices
With a generous amount of ice, shake the vodka and lemon juice in a
martini shaker. Shake vigorously for a few seconds. Rub rim with lemon slice,
dredge in sugar. Strain the "libation" into the glass and garnish with lemon
slice.
Or... shake the vodka so it's cold and just add a lemon peel...
Or....
