My pal, Brooklyn Vivia, sent me this picture of the little dog, Jade, she
just rescued from the ASPCA.
Vivia lives in an apartment and had specific dog needs. She has been
without a pet for some time and really needed a fur pal! Adorable. I think she
said the pup was 9 years old. Her family moved and couldn't take her with them.
Lucky Vivia!

Dinner was simple. Super simple. A package of pre-made meatloaf, heated in
microwave. Leftover pasta and veggies, cuc and tomato salad, and the last two
stuffed mushrooms.
Then the leftover meatloaf went into a sourdough bun with one of my most
favorite things, Best Foods mayonnaise... add a couple gherkin pickles on the
side and voilá ... breakfast!
Here are three short videos, first one came from Cyndi Moreno (wife of
Pete..LASD ret... Cyndi too, ) Anyway looked it up on Youtube and found a
few more. So trusting, these little birds.
And this is a dove!
This one made me laugh! Don't touch that handle!!!
In the mail came my Ice Chips. I love these little candies. They are made
without sugar, but with Xylitol which is good for your teeth! (even my dental
assistant Liz said so!) Also people with diabetes can eat this candy, no
problem. They are made in Yelm Washington and were thought up by two
grandmothers! They help with bad breath, tickle in throat, or just something
good to pop in your mouth. I keep them in my purse and in my car. www.icechipscandy.com
These are the flavors:
You can buy them in variety packs or just one flavor. My fav is the
Cinnamon but I also love the Lemon.
Have you ever heard of a candy "good for you"! This kind is.
LOL:
Yesterday stayed cool. OMG, it was only 77º at 1pm! Dude and I took trash
down to the can and put it on the road. He ran, of course. Then a stop at PJ and
Dave's to feed their fish, water, and put out their trash can.
If
you have read this before, then don't laugh this
time!

(Ok, this seems a little odd, really it's 3 x the length of the thumb? More
like 2 x the length!)
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Monday. Ciao.

July 27th
National Scotch Day
Ok, are we
celebrating my heritage? or the distilled spirits from Scotland? Guess it could
be all things Scottish, though it's most likely the latter. I like Scotch,
Scotch Tape, Scottish Eggs, and Scotsmen ... especially Sean
Connery
! It's that brogue. Mmmmm.... and kilts! And bagpipes! Yes. It's in
my blood!
Some Scotch history...
My family tartan... Dunbar
.. and the
Maxwell tartan...
In regards to the distilled Scotch (which in any case many Scotsmen
contain Scotch) here are a number of legal requirements in Britain that must be
met in order for Scotch whisky to be called 'Scotch.' It must be made in
Scotland, for starters. And don't ever spell it 'whiskey.' Here in America, we
salute those tradition-bound Scottish distillers by recognizing National
Scotch Day! Are you on the rocks or neat?
