Good 63º clear sunny morning. We hit 98º yesterday but it was cloudy and
super humid. Today should be clear but about the same temp. Yesterday 3pm-ish:
Yesterday, thankfully before the heat, Tucker had his last of season little
league game at 9am. Brian had set up a tent for Sami and her pals......
Here is Tucker and his base hit.....
Jen is the team mom and had set up a party for the kids.... goodies and
pizza....
She even made baseball cards for each of the kids with their picture on
it...
Brian had set up his State Farm pop up over the stands. Nice!! Then he
moved it by the pergola where the party was...
I didn't stay for the party. Was getting hot and I wanted to get home and
check on Bruiser. He stayed outside when I left but Dude was comfy inside with
the AC on. On the way to the game on the southbound side of I-5 just north of
Rogue River was heavy police activity. There was a pick up truck with it's doors
open and about 6 or 8 radio cars... Oregon State Police, Grants Pass Police, and
Rogue River PD. One of the OSP officers was walking along the edge of the road
looking down and carrying an assault rifle. Obviously looking for someone who
was possibly armed! On the way back home after 2 hours one OSP car was still
there with the pick up.
So, I made sure I saw the news to find out what that was all about. Alas,
nothing was mentioned on the news!
When I got home Bruiser was hanging out in the shade. He came in and slept
for several hours. I looked up what rabies shots do to cats and in some it makes
them very lethargic for up to 48 hours. Ah ha....I was wondering why he didn't
want to go out first thing in the morning as he usually does, but he just napped
until his breakfast. Then he slept most of the day. He did go out back once, and
I looked and he was sleeping on the seat of my golf cart. This morning he's
feeling back like his old self and was outside first thing!

minutes. Voilá! How easy is that!
The sole as REALLY good and crunchy on the outside. Yes!!!
Then I watched a movie, Little Big League (1994).... A young little league

June 5th
National Gingerbread Day
This holiday is about bringing awareness of gingerbread to those who have
not yet tried a version of gingerbread. Gingerbread is known for many food
varieties. Everything from gingerbread "bread" to cookies and gingerbread
houses.
Research did not find the creator, or the origin of this day. However this
holiday has been celebrated for years on this date. This is referred to as a
"National" day, however there are no congressional records or presidential
proclamations for this day. Still, something good to celebrate!
