Good 32º (heat wave!) morning. Day#6 no water. No sun until
1:30 yesterday. Nothing warmed up. The sun we got was sparse due to cloud cover.
Until yesterday the sun would come streaming in the south side of the house and
warm it all up. Depressing.
(This was on Joan Knoeppel's FB page! Go Joan!)
Out 'frolicking' in the snow yesterday were several deer... this little
buck and fawn.... couldn't get all of them in the picture as they saw me in the
dining room window and got panicky...
OMG, you will love this... came from my friend Cyndi
Moreno...hubby Pete worked with my Jerry at Temple...
Type in your address or any address and see what it looks like
with snow falling...
I put in the address where I grew up..Stockbridge Avenue in Los
Angeles, the house has changed a LOT... Here it is a hundred years
ago...actually in 1944 just before I was born..
The new owners put
on a second story... but here it is with the snow...
Yesterday I had to save a turkey. I had seen him in
the pasture earlier in the day on Wednesday and he, like most of them, couldn't
figure how to get over the fence.
Turkeys do have the smallest brain.
They forget they can fly! Anyway, I was hoping he'd figure it out. Well,
yesterday morning he was still out there trying to get his head through the
fence. Sigh... So I opened the gate in the front yard and tossed out some
cracked corn to attract him... left the gate open and came in. He found the corn
and ate it all! Then about 30 minutes later I saw him walking through the front
yard. There were two other turkeys out there. I went out to open the gate to the
driveway, the other turkeys flew over the fence (duh...get the idea mr. turkey?)
but he didn't so I propped open the gate, came back in the house and he walked
out! YEAH!!!
The Bruise was also out running
around and walking on the fence...I called him and he came running...
Then... he comes in and jumps onto
the hutch to take a nap!

One of
the few country singers I don't like! Hate her
makeup!
I had been talking to Jeannie about
what there was in the fridge to eat... had a couple hard boiled eggs, etc. She
suggested (although she'd never tried it) making a grilled cheese and putting in
the hard boiled egg. So, ok then...
I took Ashland Sourdough bread,
topped with 1 slice of Provolone, 3 slices of American cheese and then cut the
egg into slices, added one more Provolone slice. Melt some butter and a bit of
olive oil in pan, spray I Can't Believe It's Not Butter on the bread and cook
until all melty and browned.
Then, since I am a Best Foods
Mayonnaise NUT (and can just eat it by the spoonful!), I slathered on some mayo. Cut up a tomato, and voilá....
One of THE BEST sandwiches
EVER!!!!!
All I know. Happy TGIF. Nuff said.
Ciao.

December 13th
National Cocoa Day
What does this holiday
celebrate?
This holiday celebrates all the uses of "Cocoa" but
most information about this holiday relates it to the hot cocoa drink. So on
National Cocoa Day make good use of that container of dry cocoa in your cabinet
and make yourself a nice hot cup of homemade cocoa. I can just taste it now...
that nice warm feeling of the drink, that nice thick layer of cream on top and
that nice dust of cocoa on the top of the cream. Yummmm, pure
heaven!
