Throw Back Thursday...
1957 me ... Girl Scout Troop 727!
Yesterday I took my new computer to Turk. He will go through it and take
out all the "junk" that is installed on new ones. Then I came home and paid
bills, waded through a bunch of old bank statements and shredded them. Still in
the tossing out mode.....Also yesterday Jake Wardel, my electrician guy, came by
and changed the bulb in the automatic light over the carport. I have a number of
automatic lights around the property .... up at the pump house, on the barn, and
he installed some on the front of the house a couple years back. The porch has
motion lights.
Today I will mow the grass. Mike should be here to weed-eat.

National Rotisserie Chicken Day
Go pick one up from the store, shred it and make a salad, or cut it up and put in refrigerator biscuits with butter/garlic/parsley/cheese and maybe a little pesto and bake the biscuits. Mmmmmmm.....

Thanks for the warning on the heat wave. We'll get warm this week- but the toasting starts here about one week after you've suffered.
We have pictures of the carraige from the 1953 coronation- Gerry's father was still in the UK. Maybe I can pop one up after morning appointment.
That biscuit looks divine- but having served rotisserie chicken two days in a row- I better give it a couple days so the flavor will be appreciated.
The older I get, the more I appreciate his manner.
I remember watching Queen Elizabeth's coronation on TV. I was transfixed. Would love to see the picture you have. ox
