This cracks me up. From the Tally and Spencer Huntoon (ret
LACo FD-Wilsonite): If dogs could text.....
A late afternoon snack.... Wild Rice Organic Rice Cake spread with
mascarpone cheese, and topped with American cheese. YUMMMMMMMM
The wine came from Grocery Outlet. Very light and fruity. Nice. At $2.99 a
bottle, no complaints. I like the "less calories" part!

Yesterday was filled to the brim with over the top excitement. I checked
the ground squirrel traps and there were two more incarcerated. Mike came by to
haul them off and reset the traps. Vacuumed and washed the dog drool off the
living room window doors!
Dinner was whole wheat tortillas, shredded chicken thighs, lettuce, and
some salsa.
All I know. Nuff said. Happy TGIF. Ciao.

Chocolate
Milkshake Day is an opportunity for
chocoholoics to savor. The weather may have cooled off. But, our appetite for
chocolate, specifically chocolate milkshakes, hasn't cooled off one iota.
What
a great day this will be! Simply combine a little milk with some chocolate ice
cream, add some extra chocolate syrup, and mix it well in a blender. That's the
fixins for mixin up a big, tall glass of chocolate milkshake.
On
a diet? Not today. A lot of people celebrate Chocolate Milkshake Day with not one,
but two or more chocolate milkshakes.
Bottoms
up!

Incarcerated squirrels- what a lovely turn of phrase.
Off to the choo-choo.
Have a fun and safe trip L!!! xo
I probably tell you this every year but who can remember!
My Curves friend's former husband and the father of her children was driving that freight train when it collided with the Metrolink train. He was hospitalized for a long time but recovered. My guess is he's a wealthy man now.
I pray nothing like that happens when my Eric is working the trains.
I recognize Jon H. from our luncheon when you were down here. Hi Jon! It was great meeting you!
XO Trisha
I too pray your Eric will be safe! But you know T, more people are hurt or killed driving cars than trains! The odds are with him on this. Yes, Jon was at the Northwoods with us. Too bad Linda couldn't join us too! xoxo
Hi kiddo. Re: the Chatsworth train tragedy. My friend Mickey lives in La Crescenta DIRECTLY across from that guy's house. She said his relatives would sneak around to the back door when they needed to remove his belongings because they were so ashamed of what he did. You remember? He was texting! Vivia
Yes, that was certainly a tragedy and something I wish people would understand about beind distracted while driving ANYTHING!!! I see them on the road all the time and have a sign I made and hold it up when I can catch their eye... "HANG UP AND DRIVE!" It works, if they see it they give the most sheepish look and put the phone down! YEAH! xo
