While outside with Dude for his "morning thing" there was this twohee
sitting on the top of this tree watching me. Hoping I was going to toss some
cracked corn on the ground!
A contrail was blowing north just past the moon... that tiny little
spot...
Yesterday Brian and Tucker and a pal and son of Brian's went fishing at
Copeland Pond. Brian said he caught 1 fish and Tucker caught 3. It's a catch and
release area.
Dinner was that chicken ..
in the Crock*Pot... Cooked for 4 hours on high without adding anything,
then turned to low for 5 hours adding in a jar of salsa...
Cooked some asparagus with a tad of water to steam and some garlic infused
olive oil..
Plated some fresh baby spinach, the chicken, and the asparagus....
OMGOOOOOOD~ and I felt so healthy!
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Monday. Ciao.

April 13th
Scrabble Day
Scrabble
Day celebrates the popular board game. It's been popular around the world ever
since. People young and old enjoy this game.
Scrabble
was created in 1938 by Alfred Mosher Butts. It is sold by Hasbro, Inc. (At least
his name was Alfred and not Harry!)
It's
very easy to celebrate Scrabble Day. Just get out the old board game, dust it
off, and play a few rounds with family or friends.
