~ Earrings ~ Patty & Cliff ~ Cheese Doodles???

 

 

 

 

 

 

Good 44º raining morning. Rain started last night and sounded like it rained all night. We've gotten 1/2" so far. I sort of knew this would happen...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yesterday I worked on 'projects'. Earrings for St. Paddy's was one of them. I haven't gotten out my jewelry making stuff in a long time! It was fun. These aren't fancy, just super simple ...putting a charm on an ear hook...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Patty called in the afternoon and she and Cliff were going to be at the Eagles for a drink and would I join them. Yes! I stopped at the local florist and got Patty a corsage and Cliff a boutonniere.

Headed to Grants Pass...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Patty gave me one of their wedding pictures to copy ...

she laughed at the ones I posted yesterday but thought

I should have a "real" one of them...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How darling they were!!! 1951!!!

 

I had a nice time visiting with them and another couple, Barbara and Walter. Then the 4 of them took off for dinner. I was coming by the car wash and since it was still open (5:30) I decided to stop and get the beast cleaned.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

THAT is why it has rained ever since!

 

I had made another chicken in the crockpot and Maggie and Harley had some of that for dinner. It's about the only thing Maggie will eat. Ok, I can do this, a chicken every few days for my girl.  I also cooked yams, as the vet said they are good for dogs and Maggie does like them!

Good 38º morning. Very cloudy. Got .17" rain yesterday. Just enough so you had to turn on the windshield wipers every couple of minutes or so.....

 

 

 

 

 :o)

 

So, yesterday was exciting as they come... Maggie and I went to town. I took her by the vets to weigh in. OMG, she's lost 10 pounds since on the new meds. She has NO appetite. She doesn't even want treats! Left a note for the vet. Then to the pharmacy for more Zicam, Musinex, and Maggie's allergy pills. The market for dog food, cat food, a chicken (went straight into the crockpot) and St. Pat's headgear for Maggie's St. Paddy's Day photo! (you will have to wait for that!). Maggs and I stopped at Dave and Pat's to feed the fish out back in the big water trough.  They were happy happy happy.... One of these days I'll remember to get a picture!

 

I am so disgusted with my printer I ordered a new one from Dell. OMG, it was cheaper and had more bells and whistles than any of them at Staples! Yeah. And it's wireless, prints, scans, and faxes. Interesting. Will be here in a few days, and even FREE shipping!!!

Hug A GI Day!

Allllll right!

3-3 & only 303 days left in 2011 ~ LE Lunch ~ Sami's Pizza Party ~

Good 35º morning. Well, it started out that way when  I got up but then had to leave for the test.... It has warmed to 44º now.

Fasting blood tests are not my favorites. Right up there with going to the dentist! Back home now and enjoying coffee and snacks!

Today looks like this....

We got this much rain yesterday.....

Not quite 1/4". Raining today, yet....

Starting Monday I was feeling like I was getting "something". Achy shoulders and neck, sneezing my head off, throat 'iffy'. I have managed to stave off any illness, as so many people I know including family have been down for the count with sneezing, coughing, mild temps, etc. So, in my infinite wisdom I started taking Zicam again. OMG, I feel wonderful! The symptoms are gone. I so heartedly recommend it for the first sign of getting the 'crud'.  Get some and put it in your medicine cabinet! Or desk drawer!

The Law Enforcement/Fire luncheon was fun. Two newbys, Bob and Ron (his son). They own an ammo reloading supply business here in So. Or. Bob was with Orange County SD and Ron with Josephine Co (here) SD. I had asked them to join us since we are so outnumbered by LAPD and various other cops. Deputies and LA CO Fire so very welcome at our gatherings... Tell your friends.

On my way home I saw our newest addition to Rogue River....

We just had one 'R' up there and last week the second 'R' was added. Cool! My pal, PatC has written an article in the RR Press about it. She was up there on a quad. Better her than me!!

Went shopping after lunch for Sami's birthday presents ... Leggos, fufu pink hat, ear muffs, hot pink gloves, fufu pink purse with necklace and bracelet, Hello Kitty, Playdough, Dr. Suess book, Disney drawing kit, and a blue baseball cap.  I met up with Brian and family at Abby's Pizza .. Sami's request. Several other children were there too, as they came directly from their gymnastics class. Jen had ordered several types of pizza and sodas. The kids enjoyed playing the games in the side room and winning tickets that they turned in for "prizes". Dessert was a Baskin Robins ice cream cake. Yummm.... Sami said, "Bobo!" and I looked to see this chocolate cake/ice cream face. She wanted me to take her picture! She liked the hats and her friends gave her a set of beads so she can make necklaces and bracelets, etc. and it came in this great big bag. I asked her if I could take her picture in the bag. Of course!

Historically this date...

1776 – The first amphibious landing of the United States Marine Corps begins the Battle of Nassau.

1845 – Florida is admitted as the 27th U.S. state.

1931 – The United States officially adopts The Star-Spangled Banner as its national anthem.

1938 – Oil is discovered in Saudi Arabia.

2005 – Steve Fossett becomes the first person to fly an airplane non-stop around the world solo without refueling.

And births this date include.....

1847 – Alexander Graham Bell, Scottish-Canadian inventor (d. 1922)

1911 – Jean Harlow, American actress (d. 1937)

1933 – Lee Radziwill, American fashion executive

Jackie O's younger sister.

1971 – Tyler Florence, chef, television personality and cookbook author

1982 – Jessica Biel, American actress

Left at 7am for the fasting blood test. The landscape was interesting with very high clouds, low clouds, and a fog laying in Grants Pass....

The little gal who took my blood said we shared the same birthday, 9-2.... only hers ends with 1989! Not 1945! I explained that I was born on the first VJ Day. When I checked in at the desk the lady who took all my information said, "You won't believe this, but you were here EXACTLY one year ago today for the same test!Hmmmm... another interesting unimportant fact.

My friend Tammy (Mr. Big Stuff's mom) found this packet I thought interesting and very funny. So I looked and found the following...

Oh my. They are everywhere!!!! LOL

All I know. Nuff said.

Happy Thursday!
