Sick ~ My Babies With Paws ~ Forsythes ~ Reardons ~ Elliott ~ Chickee ~ Sal


Good 56ยบ cloudy got some drizzles last night, as the grass is wet...


Yesterday started out with just a slight feeling of getting a cold. Some sneezing and coughing. It increasingly got worse. The coughing and sneezing became monumental! Then the chills started in. No fever though. Next, stomach started hurting. Had that famous Mexican thingy.... Monty's Revenge! Was miserable. Took my Sunrider herb drinks, Zicam, Ibuprofen, ate about 1/2 cup plain yogurt, and drank a cup of warm low sodium chicken stock. Mostly sat in my chair all day. Am feeling better today, but will take another 'day off' and rest. Took Zyrtec before bed and slept pretty well. Was to meet up with the "girls" (Dee, Kathy, & Jeannie) for a glass of wine this afternoon, but still don't know what I have or if contagious. Another day ladies....
The Dude and the Bruise stayed close...

About 2pm yesterday I saw what I thought was a turkey vulture flying by. Got my camera and sure enough............

Of course he was pretty much gone by the time I took a couple pictures and didn't even know I had captured him... can just barely see him in this pano...



Anniversaries today include Wilsonite Kathy (O'Brien) and Don Forsythe...

Here is Sal working hard, as usual, with his wife Jan (our JCRW past pres.)


Historically this date...

1536 – Anne Boleyn, the second wife of Henry VIII of England, is beheaded for adultery,treason, and incest.

1921 – The U.S. Congress passes the Emergency Quota Act establishing national quotas on immigration.
......how much good does that do? we're still giving perks, social security, and tax relief to illegals! Grrrrrrrrrrrr
1950 – A barge containing munitions destined for Pakistan explodes in the harbor atSouth Amboy, New Jersey, devastating the city.
1962 – A birthday salute to U.S. President John F. Kennedy takes place at Madison Square GardenNew York City. The highlight is Marilyn Monroe's rendition of "Happy Birthday".
1986 – The Firearm Owners Protection Act is signed into law by U.S. President Ronald Reagan.
**** One of the law's provisions was that persons traveling from one place to another cannot be incarcerated for a firearms offense in a state that has strict gun control laws if the traveler is just passing through (short stops for food and gas) and the firearms and ammunition are not immediately accessible, unloaded and, in the case of a vehicle without a compartment separate from the driver’s compartment, in a locked container.
An example of this would be that someone driving from Virginia to a competition inVermont with a locked hard case containing an unloaded handgun and a box ofammunition in the trunk could not be prosecuted in New Jersey or New York City for illegal possession of a handgun provided that they did not stop in New Jersey or New York for an extended period of time.
However Washington D.C.New YorkNew Jersey, and several other states routinely ignore this provision; arresting, prosecuting, and imprisoning travelers who are complying with this federal law

Throw Out Stuff ~ Atlas ~ Easy Cheesy Chicken Casserole


Good 48ยบ cloudy might rain morning.... the radar shows the rain going off to the east....


 
We got thunder about 3pm yesterday and then 12 or 6 drops of rain. Then wind.
 
 
Yesterday I was going to mow, but instead decided on laundry and cleaning out another kitchen cupboard. Pulled bunches of stuff out that I hadn't used in forever and I filled a ginormous trash bag!!! Yes. And I have a grocery bag with stuff to take to the food bank in town. Good feeling to be able to see in a cupboard and see everything that's in there! More of the same, later this week! 
 

Today would have been my granddog Atlas' birthday. He was Brian Jen Tucker and Sami's Weimaraner. Sadly he passed away a couple of years ago. So missed. Such a love. The best dog ever! So gentle with the kids.  RIP Atlas!

Serves 8 to 10 
3 to 4 cooked chicken breasts, chopped
16-oz. pkg. wide egg noodles, cooked
24-oz. container sour cream
2 (10 3/4-oz.) cans cream of chicken soup
8-oz. pkg. shredded Cheddar cheese
8-oz. pkg. shredded mozzarella cheese
1 sleeve round buttery crackers, crushed
1/4 cup margarine, melted
2 tablespoons poppy seed

Combine chicken, noodles, sour cream, soup and cheeses in a large bowl. Pour into a lightly greased 13"x9" baking dish. Mix together cracker crumbs and margarine; sprinkle over top. Sprinkle poppy seed over cracker crumbs. Bake at 350 degrees for 25 to 30 minutes or until crackers are crispy and golden and cheese is melted.
 
My sister Betty sent these to me... keys from Mom and Dad's house. The keys were used from 1939 - 1968 when Daddy changed the locks due to a missing hidden key..

 
 
Later I cooked some yams in the casserole Crock*pot
and had some with the smoked pork Cliff made. Good! TV was a cute Hallmark movie.
 

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

No Dirty Dishes Day


No Dirty Dishes Day is a reprieve from the daily pile of dishes to wash and dry. Day after day, we do the daily chore of washing and drying dishes, then put them away in various cabinets and drawers. We perform this task after each and every meal, and often after snacks. Even putting them in and out of the dishwasher and running it, can be a chore.
You deserve a break from this routine. And, today is that day. The objective of this day is to have no dirty dishes. It is not intended to pile them up until tomorrow.
We can think of two ways to avoid dirty dishes today:
  • Use disposable plates, cups and silverware for all meals and snacks.
  • Take the family out to eat all three meals. Then for snack, go out for ice cream!
We strongly recommend that you do not pile up the dishes to do tomorrow.  This defeats the purpose of this very special day.
