Good 49ยบ cloudy humid morning. Not supposed to get rain but yesterday when

Here's a tasty and easy slaw for your Memorial Day BBQ...
1 (12oz) pkg broccoli slaw
1 cup red pepper strips
1 cup chopped fresh pineapple
1/3 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1/3 cup Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing
1 t. brown sugar
1/3 cup sliced toasted almonds
Combine first 5 ingredients in large bowl. Mix dressing and sugar until blended and add to salad. Toss to coat. Refrigerate 1 hour and add nuts just before serving, mix lightly.
You can substitute a package of coleslaw mix for the broccoli slaw.
My friend Joan Driscoll who works at my vet's office posted this on her FB
page. 9 Beagle dogs who spent their entire lives in cages in a testing lab run
on grass for the first time. Their day of freedom! (Get out the Kleenex!)
A comment from a long time friend, Ed Chenal (LASD ret) re the VA Health
Care Solution:
"If Congressional members and their families had to go to the VA for their
medical care, the problems currently depicted on the news would be fixed in
short order." You are so right Ed!!!
LOL!!!!

Kristen and I got to visit with her in the second week of April and about two
weeks later she was in the hospital and on morphine heavily sedated. I miss her
so. Here's a picture of me with my sisters on June 14, 1975.... Betty on the

We were best friends. She was 9 years older
