Good 46ยบ still raining morning. As of yesterday 4" of rain in the rain
gauge. Heard it coming down in the night...
This was early afternoon... it rained and rained after that.... this
morning it's at 4¼"... and it continues....
Dude and the Bruise were not too happy with the rain, so laid by the door
watching outside...
This is out in the back... the seasonal creek now filled with water and
rushing downhill!
Just FYI, because of all the problems I had with my computer and all the
problems Jeannie and Bill have had of late and Judy down in SoCal, I am not
going to download any attachments sent to me. So, if you have a photo to
send, put it on the email, don't send it to me as an attachment. I will just
delete the email. Thanks. Sorry.

Jen had dinner for Brian yesterday. We got there about 6. She had
cooked a filet roast wrapped in bacon (soooooooooooo tender!!), her special
potatoes (cut into cubes, I'll have to ask but probably drizzled with olive oil,
cooked crunchy, and then topped with a grated cheese ... Asiago?). The bread was
topped with her version of the cheese spread the North Woods Inn
(Rosemead/Huntington Dr http://clearmansrestaurants.com/northwoods/
) is famous for... cheese/butter/onion powder, garlic powder, etc... I'll get
the recipe for sure!) and toasted. Raw cut up veggies... I made some deviled
eggs (half topped with Bob's Seasoning Salt and half with bacon
salt. PERFECT dinner Jen!
Then Wonder Woman made a cheese cake to die
for...................... (notice where Tucker's eyes
are!)
Sami (the nut!) doesn't like cheesecake.... so she had strawberries dipped
in chocolate.... (drool...)
When I had first arrived Sami showed me her loose tooth...
.... and just before I left it was out! (er, chololate on her face!!!)
Fun evening. Great food. Happy Birthday Bri!!
Thank you Sami and Jean for the flowers!!!! xoxo
All I know. Happy Saturday. Nuff said. Ciao.

February 15th.
It’s National Gumdrop Day.
Gumdrops are a chewy, brightly-colored, fruit-flavored confection, shaped
like a truncated cone and coated in granulated sugar. When they are flavored
with spices (allspice, cinnamon, clove, licorice, peppermint and wintergreen,
for example) they’re called spice drops.
Gumdrops are believed to be an American invention, but the date and the
inventor are lost to history (along with the origin of the phrase, “goody goody
gumdrops.” The earliest known printed reference is advertisement from The Illinois State
Chronicle in 1859, offering “Fresh GumDrops, assorted flavor wholesale or
retail.” Invention can predate reference by decades (or much longer—the earlier
in history and the less surviving the printed material, it can be hundreds of
years earlier).
