Good 48º clear sunny morning. Topped at 93º yesterday.

Jerry and I moved into this house on this date 1998. What a change from the
hustle and bustle of Southern California!
Ok, here's a super good easy one pot dinner perfect for summer, as you cook
it in your crock pot. A fav of mine.
Creamy Chicken and Vegetables
6 boneless skinless chicken thighs
2.5 pounds of new redskin potatoes or Yukon gold, cut into bite size
pieces
salt and pepper to taste
16 oz mini peeled carrots
½ cup sliced green onions
1 bunch of asparagus, trimmed and cut into thirds
2 10 oz cans cream of mushroom soup
½ cup milk
1. Place chicken in crock pot and top with potatoes
2. Sprinkle on salt and pepper (I use garlic salt)
3. Add the carrots and green onions, mix gently
4. Add asparagus on top
5. Salt and pepper again, if needed
6. Whisk together soup and milk in separate bowl and pour over everything.
7. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours.
I like to add in some chopped garlic cloves also.

Origin of Left and Right ....
Do you wonder why Conservatives are called "right-wing" and Liberals are
called "left-wing"?
Interestingly enough, here is a Bible verse explaining that:
Ecclesiastes 10:2
"The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to
the left."
Thus sayeth the Lord. Amen.

I spent a lot of the day taking the videos off my iPhone so it would clear
up space. Then Dude and I took the trash to the road when it was still cool
enough for him to run. By 1pm it was 87º.

National Raspberry Cream Pie Day
National Raspberry Cream Pie Day is perfect for raspberry lovers.
Raspberries are one of the gems of summer. Sweet and tasty, it is loved by
millions of people (and birds, too!) With the arrival of ripe berries, it is
time to make and enjoy some of your favorite dessert treats. High on the list
for raspberry lovers, is raspberry cream pie.
Make this a super raspberry day. Go out and pick your own berries. Then,
make a raspberry cream pie. Better still, make one for you, and another to give
away to a family member, a neighbor, or a friend. Then, dig in and eat a piece
of
pie....Yummmm!
