Here's another one from my pal Patty..... too
funny!
Dad's Will
A man was telling his buddy, "You won't believe what happened last night... My daughter walked into the
living room and said, ‘Dad, cancel my allowance immediately, forget my college
tuition loan, rent my room out, throw all my clothes out the window; take my TV,
and my laptop. Please take any of my jewelry to the Salvation Army or Cash
Converters. Then, sell my car, take my front door key away from me and throw me
out of the house. Then, disown me and never talk to me again. And don't forget
to write me out of your will and leave my share to any charity you choose.’
"
"Holy Smokes", replied his friend, "She actually said
that?"
"Well, she didn't put it quite that way, she actually said,
'Dad, meet my new boyfriend, Mohammed. We're going to work together on Hillary's
election campaign!' "

Throw Back Thursday......
1965.... on this date I married my children's father. Started
out good.... had Kristen and Brian.... then he decided drugs were his choice.
Discovered them overseas while in the Air Force in Thailand ... friends of his
were a bad influence! Sadly the marriage only lasted 9 years. My choice, not his... I couldn't live with someone doing drugs! I told him to pack
up and leave or his underwear will be tossed onto the front yard! He's still
doing drugs. Fortunately he lives in S. Dakota and is not an influence on my
children any more or my grandchildren. This, by the way, was at the Chapel of
Roses in Pasadena. We were both 19.... babies!

Yesterday was the Law Enforcement/Fire Luncheon. We had a good group and
lots of conversation. One of the LAPD guys decided to have a trivia quiz with
prizes. He had one question for the LAPD guys and one for us LASD folks. We
wrote our answer on a piece of paper and the winner was drawn from each.... I
won for LASD. The question (how easy) was who was the Sheriff before Sherman
Block. DUH.... Peter J. Pitchess! I won a mini Sheriff's pin...
Lunch was good. I had one of Erick's famous BLT's. YUMMMM! Half came home
for dinner.
Tammy sat next to me and we chatted up a storm. Here she is with her hubby
Paul (left) and Jon Ray (also former LASD ret...from the pistol range)
So.... for dinner I had some asparagus that sat too long in water on my
sink, decided to cook it, but not the conventional way. I chopped it up, heated
some oil in a fry pan and sauteéd it..... adding in sea salt, garlic powder, and
drizzled on some balsamic pomegranate vinegar. Turned heat to low and let cook
with the lid on for 12 minutes. Set aside and let cool.
Then I dished up my leftover salad from
lunch and topped it with the asparagus and half sandwich. OMGOOOOOD!! Going to
buy more asparagus and cook it this way. Tasty and crunchy. YUMMMMMM~!
Just about that time, 5:30 was this sunset...

I got such a kick
out of watching the critters up in the pasture yesterday... there were the 3
geese, a dozen ravens, about 30+ turkeys, and 8 deer. One of the turkeys was
chasing the ravens! LOL. He'd jump at them and half fly. A few of them would
take off and land close. It went on for quite a while. The deer were bored. The geese flew to the top of the barn.
At Brian's Super
Bowl Party Jen's mom, Jean, brought this salad.... It was a "layered" salad, but
you can just toss it all together. REALLY good!!!
1½ heads of lettuce
(she used Romaine)
1# bacon cooked and
chopped
1 small red onion,
chopped
1½ heads
cauliflower, broken up into bite sized pieces
2 T. sugar
1½ cups Best Foods
Mayonnaise
½ cup shredded
Parmesan cheese
I would cut up the
lettuce, wash and drain and "salad spin" it. I would mix the sugar with the
mayonnaise and the Parmesan cheese and toss everything all together.
So.... going shopping for asparagus and cauliflower!
All I know. Happy Thursday. Nuff said. Ciao.

February 6th
National Chopsticks Day
I like the wooden Japanese chopsticks
the best. Jerry taught me how to use them, we taught our children, and they
taught their children.
