Storm ~ Zucchini ~ Domain Names ~ Mr. Lizard ~ Teacher's Day

 

Good 54º cloudy damp morning. Last night suddenly, and I do mean suddenly, the storm moved in. Lightening and lots of THUNDER!! OMG. Scared even Dude! It also POURED. We got 3/4" of the stuff. There are numerous wildfires in the area from the lightening.

 

This was the radar and satellite last night..

 

Rain and thunder is supposed to continue today.

 

 

From my pal Trish Bowler... a friend of hers posted this on FB. Simple easy zucchini side dish...

Slice zucchini in half lengthwise. Take a slice of the bottom to keep it stable. Brush with olive oil and top with garlic or garlic powder. Top with sliced tomatoes, salt and pepper. Use mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, or a blend. Bake 375º for 20-30 minutes, until soft.

THINGS I DID TO DESERVE THE NOBEL PEACE PRIZE By Barack Obama

 

 

Yesterday Rick came over and took a look at the pastures. He'll be back on the 14th to brush-hog for me. Gave him a tour on the golf cart.... Dude and Maggie jumped off when we were at the pond and ran all the way back! Maggie was EXHAUSTED! Dude seemed happy to run. Then a little later we took a ride down to the mailbox. On the way back Mr. Lizard, formerly of "out in the yard" was sitting atop the post where the gate button is....

 

 

The news story of the three women and one little girl who have been missing for 10 years is amazing! That saga will unravel and more information will come out.

 

Dinner last night was :

Not in the mood to cook. Good soup!

 

 

All I know. Nuff said. Happy Tuesday. Ciao.

National Teacher's Day

 

Everybody who does something good, important, and valuable deserves a day in their honor. Teachers certainly are among the more deserving. This day honors those hard working, patient and understanding people whom we entrust our children to. Teachers mold our kids in a positive direction, and affect who they are and who they become. From Kindergarten through college, teachers are an important part of our children's lives.

from Pberger... you golfers will like this one!

 

Skipping church...

Father Norton woke up Sunday morning and realizing it was an exceptionally beautiful and sunny spring day, decided he just had to play golf.

 

So.... he told the Associate Pastor that he was feeling sick and persuaded him to say Mass for him that day. As soon as the Associate Pastor left the room, Father Norton headed out of town to a golf course about 40 miles away. This way he knew he wouldn't accidentally meet anyone from his parish. Setting up on the first tee, he was alone. After all, it was Sunday morning and everyone else was in church! About this time, Saint Peter leaned over to the Lord while looking down from the heavens and exclaimed, "You're not going to let him get away with this, are you?" The Lord sighed, and said, "No, I guess not."

 

Just then Father Norton his the ball and it shot straight towards the pin, dropping just short of it, rolled up and fell into the hole.  IT WAS A 420 YARD HOLE IN ONE!

 

Saint Peter was astonished. He looked at the Lord and asked, "Why did you let him do that?" The Lord smiled and replied, "Who's he going to tell."

Yesterday I got the clean out bug. One carport, where Jerry's old '55 Chevy truck is, hasn't been cleaned since before he died. I got in there and tossed stuff! I have a bunch for the burn pile too. I had an old cruddy cat carrier that has been out there forever and about 30 years old, so since Jeannie gave me a nice new one, I put it out for whomever snags it. Someone will!

A tribute to Cinco de Mayo....

Dinner... didn't have any hoisin sauce....thought I did, so used an orange ginger sauce..... and sesame oil...also, no tortillas, so used pizza crusts! Mixed a drained can of beef with the sauce and oil and added in grated cheese. Put olive oil on the crusts and topped with meat/cheese mixture. Baked 20 minutes at 425º.

 

Then I filled and avocado half with salsa, chopped up a tomato, and cut the pizza. OUTSTANDING! Glad there is leftovers for breakfast!!! YUMMMMM!

Will certainly make this again!

 

All I know. Rick Hart coming up here today to see about brush-hogging my pastures. Jason supposed to be here today to weed-eat the creek and fence line. We'll see, re the weather. Happy Monday. Ciao. (P.S. Brian and Sami better. Brian going to work, Sami still home one more day or so..Keep thy fingers crossed Jen doesn't get it next!)

 International No Diet Day

This began in 1992, the idea of a British author who was trying to raise awareness of eating disorders, size acceptance and weight discrimination in society. I think that it's healthy to enjoy good foods once in a while, regardless of their calorie count. So today, eat carbs! Eat fats! More importantly, ENJOY your food.

 

Cinco de Mayo ~ Girl w/ Harry Chest ~ Tucker Baseball ~ Clouds

 

Good 42º clear morning.

HAPPY CINCO de MAYO!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I am so happy a day to celebrate mayonnaise! I LOVE mayonnaise! Yippppeeeeeeee........................ One of my favorite days!

 

 

Also......

Cinco de Mayo... (actually)

(Spanish for "fifth of May") is a celebration held on May 5. It is celebrated nationwide in the United States and regionally in Mexico, primarily in the state of Puebla, where the holiday is called El Dia de la Batalla de Puebla (English: The Day of the Battle of Puebla).The date is observed in the United States as a celebration of Mexican heritage and pride, and to commemorate the cause of freedom and democracy during the first years of the American Civil War.In the state of Puebla, the date is observed to commemorate the Mexican army's unlikely victory over French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862, under the leadership of General Ignacio Zaragoza Seguín. Contrary to widespread popular belief, Cinco de Mayo is not Mexico's Independence Day—the most important national patriotic holiday in Mexico—which is actually celebrated on September 16, or as we used to say, the day the new Chevy's came out!

So make some Margaritas, have some rice and beans, guacamole, pick up some tamales... traditional Mexican dishes. Celebrate with our Mexican friends a special day.

 

 

This came from several different folks.... funny! The expressions on the men's faces is priceless.
