Good 61º slightly cooler morning. Still clear and gonna be HOT
later! Yesterday was not too bad, stayed in the 80ºs which was great for the
National Track & Field Championships held this past weekend in Eugene
Oregon.
Yesterday apparently we did get some moisture as I heard it
dripping into the rain gutter. Didn't appear that anything was wet though. This
was 6:30am...
The turkeys were migrating down the hill...
Breakfast: Plain Greek yogurt, mandarin oranges, and Laney
Honey!
This is awesome.. a rescue dog (who looks just like my Dude!!) watches over
baby ducklings...
This is interesting... doctors salaries:
After a quick run through of chores, a shower, then a quick
trip into Grants Pass to Safeway for a few essentials... I found
this...
I HAD to buy it. Came home, unloaded car,
put away groceries, and got out some caramel corn rice cakes (sigh... most of
them fell apart!) and spread on the Chocolate Cheesecake Hazelnut spread...
OMLORD. THIS IS AWSOME!!!!! OINK!!!
While in Grants Pass about 6 raindrops fell on my windshield. Then back in
Rogue River another 5 or so. Speaking of Rogue River... this weekend is the
Rooster Crow. I didn't go to the parade yesterday and not to the car show or to
the booths today either. Just too hot for me...
When I got home I unloaded the car and Dude jumped in. He
wanted a ride... so he got one all the way into the carport!
Brian sent me this: Having fun!
Today is a special birthday of "one of our kids"... Dave

In the afternoon Patty called. She and Cliff will be heading back to the
cool coast today and wanted me to come up for a glass of wine... They live close
to the Wimer Bridge.
On July 5, 2003 Brian and Jen were on his Harley touring the area and
passed across this bridge. Then next day a man and his two grandsons were
walking across the bridge, a pickup truck drove over it, and the bridge
collapsed! The grandfather and his grandsons sustained serious injuries. It, of
course, was re-built.
So... up at Patty and Cliff's is this deer that visits often. She feels
safe up there.....
In a bit she came up on the deck and looked in the window!
Had a great chat with my friends, came home, had reruns for dinner!
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Monday. Ciao.

Waffle Iron Day
Waffle Iron Day celebrates
this great kitchen gadget that makes tasty waffles. Waffles are cooked between
two metal plates. A waffle iron is powered by electricity to heat the plates and
create, light waffles ready for you to top with syrup, and/or your favorite
fruits.
Waffles are not just for breakfast. They are good for lunch or dinner,
too.
The origin of the waffle: The waffle dates back to the 1300s in
Greece. Greeks cooked flat cakes between two metal pans. At the time, they
topped it with cheeses and herbs. Pancake syrup wasn't around back then.
You do know how to celebrate this day.......don't you!? If you don't have a
waffle iron, today is a good day to go out and buy one. If you are too busy to
make waffles ourself, buy some frozen in your grocery store, or order them out
at a restaurant.
I love cooking in my waffle iron: refrigerator biscuits, slice open, put in
cheese... cookie dough! .... or cinnamon rolls.... or a quesidilla... or
bacon....or eggs... or little shredded potato nuggets!

Darling photo at Disneyland but where's Tucker?
Dude is a hoot. He wants to ride in the car but runs instead of riding in the golf cart. :)
I will have to buy some of that spread. Matthew loves Nutella so he would probably like that too.
That deer is amazing to come up so close. Wonder if it would let you pet her.
Scary about that bridge. Glad they got it rebuilt!
