Yesterday morning I made deviled eggs to take to Brian
and Jen's. Then out to the car to vacuum it .... dog hair in there since when I
picked up Dude and the Bruise from the kennel! Did some other chores and headed
to Brian's about 3pm.
The Bruise was laying under the boat watching me as I left...
Jen cooked a super good roast of beef (half barbecue and half oven) and had
lots of fresh veggies and fruit. She and Sami had made cupcakes...
lemon/blueberry...YUMMMM!!!! It was a good day for "Dad" to nap and watch
TV...
While Jen was busy at the barbecue... Dad's Day and mom barbecues. Mom's Day and mom barbecues! LOL. Hmmmmm..... wonder why it works that way?
We ate outside. I had meat (sooooooooo tender it just melted in your
mouth!), deviled egg, Jen's awesome potatoes!, cheese, pea pods, olives,
zucchini, an amazing mayo/horseradish sauce, and pita chips. I took a bottle of
a light Spanish wine and Jen and I shared that.
Really a great light red, sort of spicy,
fruity. Got it at the Mercantile in Jacksonville.
The cupcakes!
Dad and Tucker stare down..
The view out their front room window shows all the
clouds.. but nary a drop of rain. (Whew. Just had the truck washed!)
First serious .... then silly....
I had a nice chat with Jean, Jen's mom.
She had just made a run to So. Cal also. Got stuck in a 2 hour traffic mess in
the La Crescenta 210 Fwy area. UGH. Sami performed some of her gymnastics for me
on the front lawn and then I headed home. Joy of joys, some idiot had run into
my trash can... broke the can six ways to Sunday, trash EVERYWHERE... and some
even across the road.
I drove up to the house and got trash bags. When I got
back to the road my neighbor Frank was picking up the mess. THANK YOU FRANK! We
got it all in the trash can, but it's broken beyond repair. Calling the trash
company today so they can bring me a new one. What a pain. I finally got back in
the house, dog fed (leftover pieces of the beef... OMG he was happy!), poured a
wine and got into my chair, cat in my lap, after 8pm!
Then.... I watched a movie. OMG, first and last time I saw it was 1976 ...
Dirty Harry The Enforcer.
Clint Eastwood was soooooooo good looking back then. The bad guy in the
film was a character named Bobby Maxwell~! LOL. Good film. Loved it. Callahan
running all over San Francisco with his 44 mag in his hand!
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Monday. Ciao.

Today
is Fresh Veggies Day. Take a vow
to eat healthy today (and everyday), with fresh veggies for every meal, and for
snack, too. Better still, be a vegetarian for a day. Your body will like it.
Fresh
vegetables are tasty, far better tasting than canned or frozen vegetables. They
are also healthy and highly nutritious. This makes it easy to add fresh
vegetables to the menu at every meal, and for snacking. This time of year, there
are plenty of fresh vegetables at your local grocery store, or in your backyard
vegetable garden.
