Yesterday afternoon I picked up my friend Jennifer Murphy from The Kitchen Company,  

where she works, and we headed out to Applegate Valley Ranch for the last BBQ of the season. Joining us were Bill Jeannie Patterson, Dale Dee Yellin, Tom Kathy Corso, Paul Tammy Allgood, Brian Jen Tucker Sami Pendleton, Jean Schumacher, and neighbors of Dale Dee, Michael & Edith. Barbecued chicken and beef, watermelon salad, beans, garlic bread, chocolate cake! YUMMMM!  Photos on the Smilebox... and, apparently my Sami likes frogs as much as I do. Everytime we've been at Applegate Ranch, she catches one!  

 

Last night the New England quarterback, Tom Brady, 

became only the second in NFL history to throw at least one scoring pass in 50 consecutive games.

Drew Brees

of the New Orleans Saints holds the all-time record of 54 straight games with a TD throw, a streak that came to an end last season. He set the record on October 7, 2012 when he surpassed the streak of 47 consecutive games by

Johnny Unitas

which had stood since December 11, 1960. Unitas had held the record for nearly 52 years when he surpassed Cecil Isbell's

streak of 23 which had been established as the record in 1942. Brees record streak of 54 games ended on November 29, 2012 against the Atlanta Falcons.
Patriots 13    Jets 10

All I know. Nuff said. TGIF. Ciao.
