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.
Historically this date...
1873 – At Adair, Iowa, Jesse James and the James-Younger Gang pull off the first successful train robbery in the American Old West.

Hmmmmm....
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.
