Good 52ยบ morning. Wow, warm. Shorts day. Typical
Orygun costume is shorts and a jacket. Sigh.....
So pretty yesterday with the low laying
clouds....
Alas, we won't have any more dates line up (like
11-12-13 yesterday) until December next year. Then no more in our lifetime.

Had to share this photo Wendy Harp, retired nurse,
posted on her FB page. I know her family from Avalon where
Rick was County Fire Captain.
L-R USMC Col Jim Harp (Rick & Wendy's oldest), Rick
Harp (submariner USN), USMC 2nd Lt. Mike Harp (youngest son) and Rick's brother
Tim, retired USMC Major. Wow, what a family!! I remember these boys when they were little guys, you know, 30 years ago!
It was a year ago today that Bruiser was still living
outside. Sleeping on the porch at times. He got into a fight and got an
infection. I took him to the vets... he was made well and de-balled! Now he's in
more than out and I never let him out when it's dark, either in the morning or
night. Seems happy.
Now he has taken over and sits on my printer...... watching me.
As I was leaving for the market yesterday Mr. Bruiser
was out wandering among the turkeys....
At the store I found some
Gevalia cappuccino...
I bought it and first thing when I got home made some...
The K cups don't work in my Keurig Vue, so I have a solofill cup that I put the
coffee in from the K cup...
With this cappuccino mix you add the milk packet to the
coffee cup, then brew the coffee into it...WOW! Sooooo good. I made a cup
as soon as I got home. Having another one now!
Last night was Orange Chicken...
I cut up some boneless skinless chicken thighs, put them
in a bag with the seasoned corn starch to coat, fry in oil until golden, add
orange sauce packet, I threw in some dried garlic, water, simmer. Cook rice
packet and it says "serve on rice", but I mixed it in with the chicken. OMGOSH,
this is SOOOO YUMMY!!!

November 13th
Sadi Hawkins Day
Here is a holiday that originated from a cartoon. It all
began in Al Capp's "Lil Abner Cartoon in the 1930's. In the cartoon series, the
mayor of Dogpatch was desperate to marry off his ugly daughter. So he created
Sadie Hawkin's Day. On this day, a race is held and all the single men were
given a short head start. Then, all the single women, including the mayor's
daughter, chased the boys. If a girl catches her man, he had to marry her.
Sadie Hawkins Day races and events grew in popularity
during the course of All Capp's long running cartoon. This cartoon made holiday
largely died out after 40 years when the cartoon was discontinued. It can
occasionally be seen celebrated on college campuses.
