Good cooler 50º morning. When I get back to finishing this
blog it will be warmer! (Ok, it's now 70º)
Beautiful and clear yesterday.........nice without
smoke for a change... no clouds today, but still clear.
The above taken at 9am and at 10am.
I forgot to mention that yesterday at Costco I ran into (that
doesn't sound right!) Sal and Jan Esquivel. Sal is a Republican Representative
for District 6, Medford, in the Oregon Legislature. Jan is past JCRW
(Jackson County Republican Women) President.
This picture I took of them at one of our JCRW
events...
NICEST folks you'd ever meet!!!
Then this is fun... the 'Best Kid Inventions':
Throw Back Thursday...
1988 My sister Marion and I at Dodger Stadium for the Dodgers vs Oakland
A's World Series game 1..... My bro-in-law got the tickets from a friend and
told Marion to "go to LA and take your sister". She was an A's fan. Me, Dodger
fan. Great game. Kirk Gibson hit the winning home run and limped around the
bases because of an injury. AWESOME. Got to meet him later on down the
line...
More re Dodgers... my All Natural Pest Control guy was here, setting traps
for digger squirrels. He is the one and only Jack Fimple who was catcher for the
Dodgers from 1983 to 1987 . Such a NICE man!!!! We talked Dodgers, players, Vin
Skully, Lasorda, etc. Even some football. He is a California boy, went to
Humbolt State (On Hwy 101 at the coast just about opposite Redding on Hwy 5).
His wife is a California girl too (Sacramento). He moved here to Oregon, "as
close to California without being in California" !!! LOL I asked him if I could
take his picture. He said, "Sure." I'll get one next time. He said he'd bring me
an autographed baseball card! YOWSA! (All you Dodger fans eat your heart
out!)
The Italian Secret To A Long Marriage (Thanks
Pberger!)
At St. Peter's Catholic Church in Adelaide, Australia, they have weekly
husband's marriage seminars.
At a session last week the priest asked Giuseppe, who said he was
approaching his 50th wedding anniversary, to take a few minutes and share some
insight into how he had managed to stay married to the same woman all those
years.
Giuseppe replied, "Well I'va tried to treat her nice, spenda da money on
her, but best of all I took her to Italy for the 25th anniversary!"
The priest responded, "Giuseppe, you are an amazing inspiration to all the
husbands here. Please tell us what you are planning for your wife for your 50th
anniversary."
Giuseppe proudly replied, "I gonna go pick he up."
Got this from friend Judy Duvall, sis of Jim Hoffman (LASD SR
ret and former Choirboy!) Judy said this was served at a 4th of July party and
in her words "It's the best salad eeeehva!"

August 21st
National Senior Citizens Day honors our elderly population. On this day,
we are encouraged to recognize and show appreciation for the value and
contribution of elderly people to home, family and society.
In
his Presidential Proclamation (August 19, 1988), President Ronald Reagan said
"For all they have achieved throughout life and for all they continue to
accomplish, we owe older citizens our thanks and a heartfelt salute. We can best
demonstrate our gratitude and esteem by making sure that our communities are
good places in which to mature and grow older."
On National Senior Citizens Day, we
should:
- Spend some time with senior citizens
- Show our appreciation for senior citizens
- Do volunteer work in support of the elderly
If
you are a senior citizen, enjoy your day any way you desire. After all, this is
your day! Make sure to take advantage of senior citizens specials and discounts.
There's bound to be plenty offers
today.
