Madeline Alyssa ~ Blessings ~ Lazy Cat ~ Food Storage Tip ~ Be Nice ~ Trees Inc ~ Doggie PJs ~ Sami aka Snuggle Bug

Good 59º clear sunny morning. Yesterday - 100º. Supposed to be cooler today. Ha!

 

Had a call from Aaron (my step-son, Jerry's son) last evening... He and Marie had a baby girl yesterday! She was 6#8oz and 19½" long. Her name is Madaline Alyssa ...

Of course her last name is Maxwell so with those initials we can call her MAM! Welcome to the world pretty girl! Congratulations Aaron and Marie!!! Good job!!!

 

 

There just have been too many tragedies lately... the Marines and Sailor that were shot by the lunatic, the fire and destruction of vehicles in the Cajon Pass (which by the way, my pal Trish's son JJ who drives a semi just by minutes avoided the mess by taking a detour!), the bridges collapse on I-10 between So. Cal desert and Phoenix, and up here an 83 year old man heading north back to Washington hit a tree in Central Point and his car caught fire ... he was burned horribly (no help to get him out of his car.. middle of the day! nobody stopped!!) and his two dogs died in the fire. Count your blessings folks!

 

Ok, now for a smile....

Here's today's food storage tip:

Scallions can last three times longer when they are stored in a jar of water. Trim the amount you need and they will continue to grow.

He was also a collector of polydactyl cats, like my Bruiser! His home in Florida is a museum and they still have a lot of his cat relatives there.

Heading out yesterday to make a quick run into town to mail letters, pick up a package, get prescriptions, and a tray of chicken thighs for Dude.... at the end of my driveway was the Trees Inc truck.

He was nice, I apologized for making him move.

Got the shopping done and some items for dinner. Came home, got everything put away, and was a sweaty mess. It was 94º out there and I am READY FOR FALL!!

 

Speaking of Fall... Jennifer gave me these NEAT pajamas... dogs all over them wearing glasses! Will be so nice and snuggy!

 

 

Dinner was a can of Progresso Lite beef and vegetable soup. Not in the mood to cook~! Watched 2 Hallmark movies but fell asleep during the second one!

 

Brian texted me this photo of Sami.... ready for sleepytime.... he said it was like finding ET! LOL

 

All I know. Nuff said. Happy Tuesday. Ciao.
