Good 53º raining morning. Rain started again, but don't know when. Was
sleeping too hard~! Not raining hard, just drizzling. Nice. According to weather
service, should be "quite a bit warmer" today. Maybe 71º-ish. Right now heavy
heavy low clouds. Can't see my mountain!
Football tonight:
Another Egg-Tastic breakfast... two eggs mixed with about 1T
mayo, some chives, on a rice cake with creamy garlic sauce~!
OMGOOOD
BTW, if you get and Egg-Tastic and it doesn't come with a
recipe page, let me know and I will email or mail one to you. Sally said the
ones she and Jim bought didn't have recipes.
Today is a special birthday.. Alice Reardon, wife of the infamous Pat
Reardon (LASD ret). HEY ALICE, way up there in Idaho... HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I hope
you have a GREAT day!
Today is also a special anniversary... Jim (LASD Sgt) and Olga Duran
celebrating 30 years! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY kids!
Throw Back Thursday... Sr. Prom.. 1963 with Bruce Baumgartner. He went to
San Gabriel High School, I went to Wilson High. Wonder what happened to that
handsome boy!
Yesterday I made a run into Grants Pass. Rain started coming down again.
YES! Stopped to get Tucker a gift for his birthday (will be Sunday) and then to
Safeway for groceries. On the way from there I had to stop for a train. Hadn't
seen one of these in a long while nor have I had to stop at a crossing....
The engineer waved to me!
Home and put away all my stuff. By then it was 2:30 and still only 58º.
Nice. Wore a sweatshirt! From now on it will supposedly warm up. I was looking
outside and saw a doe jump the fence and start chowing down on the grape leaves.
Lo and behold, over on the other side of the yard were the triplet fawns. I was
so worried since I hadn't seen them in a couple weeks! They look great!
Then a bit later they were all down by the barn..
And look! A hummingbird sitting in mid air!

Earlier in the morning the Bruise went off on a hunt. First in the upper
pasture...
....then closer to the house....
Lunch was a dish of melons/strawberries/pineapple from Safeway. Dinner was
reruns of the Buffalo Chicken Soup. Watched a Hallmark movie, Loves Comes
Softly.
I like Katherine Heigl. In this film there is a little girl whose mother
had passed away. Heigl's husband had also died, so the relationship is started
with the girl's father, Dale Midkiff. The young girl is played by Skye McCole
Bartusiak. This actress was born in 1992 and sadly died from a drug at age 21.
AND no, I didn't watch the debate. I HATE politics! I don't like debates.
Sorry, but that's me. I will vote, but we don't have a choice at the moment...
too many in the Republican race, and the Dems certainly haven't stepped up with
anyone who could possibly help our country, other than flushing it down the
toilet that OVamit has put us in! Ok, off the
!
!
All I know. Happy TBT. Nuff said. Ciao.

Apple Dumpling Day
| EUNICE'S EASY APPLE DUMPLINGS | |
|
4
large apples, peeled, cored and quartered
2 cans Crescent Rolls 1 cup Orange juice 1 cup sugar 1 to 1/2 tsp. cinnamon 2 sticks butter
DO NOT PREHEAT OVEN:
1. Grease a 9x13 inch casserole dish.
2. Wrap each apple wedge in a crescent roll so it is completely or mostly encased in the dough. Arrange evenly in prepared dish. 3. In a small saucepan over medium heat - combine orange juice, sugar, cinnamon and butter. Cook stirring, until sugar is dissolved. Pour over dumplings. 4. Set over to 350°F and bake dumplings 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve warm with the sauce (can add whipped topping) This recipe is amazing, yet so simple. If you have any leftovers, put dumplings into a bowl - spoon a little sauce over - and microwave for about 25 seconds. This will definitely become a family favorite. This serves 16: Recipe may be halved. | |
