Police Stop ~ Crime Scene ~ Guacamole

Good 42º morning. Boy, chilly last night. Blanket time!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is a video of some of the heroes from 9-11. I received this from several people; George, Ron, and a couple others. The Boat-lift. Narrated by Tom Hanks. It's moving. Take the time to watch it.

Gloomy day yesterday. Never got above 69º. Cloudy. Dreary.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But, I was busy in the kitchen with my 40 pounds of tomatoes. Marinara sauce... tomato juice.... and more today to work on. I found that instead of taking up my biggest frying pan to cook the tomatoes, I put them in the crockpot. Worked wonderful! Had to make a run for more mushrooms and for pickling salt and mustard seed for the cucumber relish I'm making when the marinara is done.

When PJ and I went to Bill and Jeannie's to pick the tomatoes, I left a prank at their gate....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Big surprise, they knew it was me! But..... the UPS guy went there to deliver a package and didn't want to go there! Took it to the neighbors ... who finked on me anyway! Thanks Rich! Bill and Jeannie just got home yesterday. I was waiting until they saw it to show it on my blog or they would have been forewarned.

Ok, you gotta see this... an American jazz band visiting in France plays for a heard of spellbound cows! Moooosic!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Too fun...

My law enforcement friends will be interested in this ......

 

 

 

 

 

The other day the police stopped an elderly man, friend of mine, around 2am. The police asked where Fred was going at this time of night. Fred told them, "I am on my way to a lecture about alcohol abuse and the effects has on a human body, as well as smoking and staying out late."

The police officer then asks, "Really? Who is giving that lecture at this time of night?"

Fred replied, "That would be my wife."

(Ba dum bum bum ...)

TOMATOES! ~ Linguini Day ~ Clams & Linguini Recipe

Good 58º morning. Boy, yesterday was nice. Breezy and in the 70ºs. No AC, all the doors and windows open.

I started in on the tomatoes. After weighing them I discovered I have 40 pounds of tomatoes! That's a lot. Normally I go to 7 Oaks for tomatoes and get a lug ... or two. Each lug is about 14 pounds. So this has me busy. My house smells like tomato sauce!

First thing yesterday I went into town

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

for celery, onion, garlic, and mushrooms.

I also stopped in at Dr. Mike's

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(the other vet in town) and showed them the picture of the

three dogs who had visited here the other day to see if

they knew the owners. Nope. Then to the PD...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

to ask about this sign...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the parking lot of the Double R, where we had Dave's Taco Tuesday party, there are only 3 parking spaces that do not have a sign like this ... for the dental place, the screen/window store, and the laundromat. If you are going to the Double R there is no place to park except on the street. I asked the Chief if this was enforced. He said it's private property and the owners of the businesses have the right to have your car towed and put into storage (Oregon section 98.810) if they want to. Apparently it doesn't happen, often. Seems to me there are 4 or 5 spaces for the laundromat, 6 or 7 for the screen/window shop, and 6 or 7 for the dental place. Rather irritating since most of the spaces with signs were empty! Ok, so it was something that was bugging me.

Came home and started cooking tomatoes while Maggie

watched me...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh, and also while I was at the market, and it was National Cream Filled Donut Day, I bought one!
