Good 52ยบ clear sunny morning. Stayed relatively
free of smoke yesterday.
PICTURE OF THE DAY:
Indonesian Gecko in the rain! Made this the
wallpaper on my FB page. Oh, and I was asked where I find these types of
photos.... www.bing.com. Many of these are their daily
wallpaper. Most you can download.
Breakfast.... another egg in Egg-Tastic. This
time only one egg, mixed with a small spoonful of mayonnaise and a little bacon
salt. Cook time on 1 egg is 45 seconds! Coffee, yogurt, blueberries,
raspberries, and Laney Honey.
For you people who have an interest in guns you
are going to say, "WOW!" 45 second video..
This is most interesting. Had no idea about the
complexity of ant hills. Shared by Rod Johnson (LASD ret). Thanks Rod. WOW! (my
second WOW in just a few minutes!!!)

...after that little incident, several
department
friends told me that the gun was a piece of junk,
a Beretta .22 semi-auto, and that they had also
had ADs with it, it was disassembled and tossed!
Beretta makes fine guns, whodda thought! Of course,
from the ER Jerry called my children and our friends
and without explanation he said, "Sue shot herself" !
That put everyone in a tailspin! Sigh......

reunion.
Momma deer and her three fawns were out
today...
Bruiser came in to rest up from his morning
'hunt'. I had my slippers off and under my desk...that is the spot he chose for
his nap! He loves to get his paws inside the slippers!
Later exciting stuff... 4 loads of laundry,
cleaned out a cupboard, worked on check book. Dinner was chicken thigh with
garlic sauce & sriracha mayo, lettuce & tomato with lemon infused olive
oil and sea salt, and a yam.
Out in the yard all afternoon was momma dear...
escaping from her triplets!
I started feeling lousy, as if I was coming down
with a cold, so took Zyrtec. A little later started in on the Zicam. I was cold
so wrapped up in my down comforter and turned on the TV and started watching a Hallmark movie, A Crush On You ... http://www.hallmarkchannel.com/a-crush-on-you
Well, that didn't last long, fell asleep. Woke up
and went to bed! LOL. Feeling better today. Totally love Zyrtec and Zicam. The
Zyrtec is good if you get stuffy. I generally take it at bedtime. The Zicam gets
rid of cold symptoms, amazingly fast! I will keep taking the Zicam today every 3 hours.
All I know. Happy TGIF. Nuff said.
Ciao.

August 21st
National Senior Citizens Day
National Senior Citizens Day honors our elderly population. On this day,
we are encouraged to recognize and show appreciation for the value and
contribution of elderly people to home, family and society.
In his Presidential Proclamation (August 19,
1988), President Ronald Reagan said "For all they have achieved throughout life
and for all they continue to accomplish, we owe older citizens our thanks and a
heartfelt salute. We can best demonstrate our gratitude and esteem by making
sure that our communities are good places in which to mature and grow
older."
On National Senior Citizens Day, we
should:
Spend some time with senior citizens
Show our appreciation for senior
citizens
Do volunteer work in support of the
elderly
If you are a senior citizen, enjoy your day any
way you desire. After all, this is your day! Make sure to take advantage of
senior citizens specials and discounts. There's bound to be plenty offers
today.
