Good 48º morning. Only hit the 80ºs yesterday. Better!
Here are photos of what Chad and Darin were/are doing Thursday...
See all the bird poop .... ugh. At least this will keep them out now!
Jack was here Thursday morning putting out traps for the ground squirrels.
Then yesterday when Dude and I were down there at the barn, a ground squirrel
was in the trap.... I called All Natural Pest and Jack came and got him
yesterday. There apparently is some place he releases them... not in populated
areas.
Our good buddy Cliff Kuehl (pronounced 'keel') is celebrating his 83rd

Dinner ... fried/baked eggplant and veal patties....
1 eggplant
2 beaten eggs
dried bread crumbs or Panko mixed with salt and pepper and I
used some of the garlic/lemon seasoning too and dried basil
olive oil
marinara sauce
mozzarella sliced or grated
Parmesan cheese
Wash eggplant, cut crosswise into 1/2" slices. Sprinkle salt
on both sided of each slice and put in colander to drain excess moisture for
about 30 minutes. Dry with paper towels.
Dip in eggs, dredge in crumbs. Heat oil in heavy skillet, fry
eggplant on both sides, drain on paper towels. Spread marinara sauce in baking
dish, add eggplant, mozzarella, and Parmesan. Dollop more sauce on top. Bake
350º for 30 minutes or until hot and bubbly. At the same time I fried some Omaha
Steaks Breaded Veal patties..
Awesomely GOOD!!!!
Yesterday afternoon I headed to GP and to Staples and Safeway then to the
Laughing Clam for Happy Hour with John & GloW and Edda (my friend from
Diamond Bar and sister to GloW).
Wine is a good price, but Happy Hour on Friday is wayyyyyyyyyyyy too noisy!
Anyway, had a good time and fun to catch up with Edda. Been about 3 years since
I had seen her. She came up here on the train from LA. Left from Union Station.
Took two days. She said it was enjoyable, but she didn't sleep. She was one
tired girl when she got to Eugene.
A year ago today, my sweet baby girl Maggie The Poopsie Do passed away at
age 15. I still miss her every single day. Such a love. Oh darn, I cry every
time I see her picture. Doin' that now!
This morning before the sun even thought of coming over the mountain (about
5:45) I heard a loud noise. Got up and there was this little black bear who had
lifted the big trash can on the back porch that was filled with cracked corn and
tipped it over and he was inside eating! The flash scared him off!
Knew one was around. Saw bear scat down by the barn the other day....filled
with berries! Always something! LOL
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Saturday. Ciao.
