Good 33º cloudy morning. Rain coming....
Yesterday's sunset....
The sun all day yesterday was heavenly! I knew we were in for
more rain so I "ran 5 Miles"... driving the golf cart and Dude running to take
all the trash to the can by the road and all the recyclables. He is such a happy
camper to run. Gets so excited when he knows we are going to do that!
Dude is the biggest love!!! Can't thank Dave enough!!

Yesterday evening I made myself a 'Dirty Sue' martini...
Vodka, Dirty Sue martini mix, and pickled asparagus spears.
OMGOOOOOD!!
I munched on some of that turkey for dinner. Made some turkey gravy. Here
is an item I have had for a very long time.. it's older than me, for sure. It
belonged to my Mom. When she made gravy she would heat the liquid from cooking
the giblets and then put some flour in this 1 cup container and add milk. Then
shake it up and add it to the cooking broth...
There are no markings on it. Made of aluminum. Works great! Fun being able
to use something of hers that she used.
I think today I will make some turkey soup. Mmmmm....
Also need to clean the house... you know the exciting stuff..vacuuming,
mopping, and dusting. ICK~! I was going to meet Brian and family for brunch at
TapRock, but they are going to go to the snow.
I called TapRock, as I had a 2 for 1 coupon that expires the 1st and the
brunch is only on Sunday. They manager said I could use it on the 3rd and to put
his name and yesterday's date on it to be valid one more week. Nice!
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Sunday. Ciao.

National Fruitcake Day
Didn't this year, but I love getting the fruitcake from Costco,
dousing it with rum and let it sit a week before eating it.
OMGOOD!!!
It is very appropriate for National Fruitcake Day to be celebrated
shortly after Christmas. Once the holidays are over, it's time to get rid of
your fruitcake. Giving a fruitcake is a Christmas tradition for many. It is also
believed that recipients will re-wrap the fruitcake and give it to someone else.
Who knows how many years, or decades, a fruitcake has been passed along?
Ultimately, the trick is to make sure you give away the fruitcake before the
holiday season is through. Otherwise, you get the joy of storing it, until the
next fruitcake-giving season.
On National Fruitcake Day, those with a sweet tooth can
celebrate by eating a slice or two. Otherwise, we suggest you use this day to
give your fruitcake to
someone....anyone.
