Good 52º overcast morning. Yesterday another high of 85º with
a breeze most of the day. The tom turkeys spent most of the day standing and
laying in the shade...
It was a pretty day!
Today the arrival of my pals Linda and Andy will happen later
this afternoon. They are traveling in their new roadster, 1932, to a hot rod
club function in Canada. They will spend the night here. Can't
wait!
Yesterday I accomplished very little! I did manage to cook a
couple yams in the crock pot...
This is funny... shared by high school pal Greg Lundell:

Later I had some Progresso Lite Potato and Bacon Cheese soup.
Then it was chair, wine, and TV. I watched the Diamondbacks
Dodgers baseball game. It went 12 innings after the Dodgers led 1-0 til the 9th
when the Diamondbacks tied it up. In the 12th my son Brian's friend Brandon
Drury ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandon_Drury )
hit the winning run. Brandon is a local Grants Pass guy and
last weekend Brian Jen and family went to San Francisco to see him play the SF
Giants... Brandon with his younger brother, Sami, and Tucker...
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Sunday. Ciao.

July 17th
National Ice Cream Day
National Ice Cream Day - 3 rd Sunday in July
When you get the urge for a snack on a hot, humid summer night, what's the
first thing that comes to your mind? That's right....Ice Cream! Therefore, it's
only fitting that ice cream be given it's own special day. On this day, we hope
you enjoy an ice cream cone, a sundae, or a milk shake. Set the diet aside and
splurge a little...have one of each!
In 1984, President Ronald Reagan proclaimed July as National Ice Cream
Month. He also established National Ice Cream Day as the third Sunday in the
month.
Ice cream is nutritious. A little heavy on the sugar and calories, ice
cream is otherwise good for you. Its base ingredient is milk, which is loaded
with healthy vitamins and minerals.
Did you know? Charles E.
Minches of St. Louis, Missouri is credited with inventing the ice cream cone. On
July 23, 1904 at the World's Fair in St. Louis, he filled a pastry cone with two
scoops of ice cream to make the first ice cream cone. There is some controversy
over this claim. Italo Marchiony of New York City filed a patent for the ice
cream cone months before the fair opened. And, he was selling lemon ice in cones
as early as
1896.
