Good 51ยบ drizzly morning. So far we've gotten 1 and 8/10" ...
looking for more.. if not today then tomorrow and lasting for a week! Well,
that's what the weather people say.
The other day I got rid of a bunch of old cameras, film, flash
bulbs... even an old Polaroid ... I put them in a box down on the road. People
up here are soooooooooooo odd, they will pick up anything on the road!
The next day when I was leaving the box was gone! What a
surprise. I set a broken ice chest down there once and it was gone!

Yesterday Nancy and I went to lunch at a place neither of us
had been to before... The Orchid Grill. It's a Hawaiian themed restaurant at
1330 NW 6th St Grants Pass.
It's in the Village Square....
Very charming...
We each had the Chicken Teriyaki Wrap with pineapple. YUMMMMMMY! The French
fries were probably the BEST ever! Sooooooooooooo crispy. I loved them!
Here's their site with menus...
The girls were so nice. They even brought us one of their
cheesecakes (for free!) .. they buy the cheesecake from a local bakery and
caramelize it there and add a pineapple sauce.
OINK OINK OINK!!
They have a variety of beer and wine and a number of "Hawaiian" cocktails.
While we were sitting there, in walks Billi (former bartendress at the
Elk's Lodge). So great to see her! We hugged and chatted. We made a future date
for lunch with the 'girls'.
Here's one of my concoctions from a few years
back:
Got the trout from Dave Perry after one
of his fishing trips... (Nancy's hubby)
First I mixed canned crab (from
Costco... in refrigerated section) with stuffing and mayonnaise. I cut the spine
bones out of the fish and stuffed each one. Then I put them on the George
Foreman Grill and drizzled some olive oil over all. Cooked until nicely browned.
AWESOME!
All I know. Happy Hump Day. Nuff said. Ciao.

Thank A Mailman Day
Thank
a Mailman Day is your chance to say thanks to the guy, or gal, who delivers your
mail. After all, they are there six days a week. The reliable postal worker is
always there doing their job, regardless of the weather. They are a hardy lot.
You'll find some mail carriers on walking routes, wearing shorts in all but the
coldest of winter days.
Did
you Know? Pony Express riders were
the most famous early American "mailmen". Their motto was " Neither rain, nor
snow, nor death of the night, can keep us from our duty". This motto is believed
to be taken in part from a motto dating back to ancient times. Among the most
popular variation is "Through rain or snow, or sleet or hail, we'll carry the
mail. We will not fail".
Make
it a point to catch your mail carrier enroute today. Give him or her a great big
smile and a great big "TY". If you happen to visit your local post office, give
them a thank you,
too.
