Dude and I took a "run" to the road to take the trash for pickup tomorrow. We went when it was still cool...... 70º.

Dinner again was with my Air Fryer.

I took an Omaha Steaks Chicken in Pastry and coated it with olive oil. Cooked it at 350º for about 10 minutes, then added in some mushrooms tossed with olive oil and garlic salt and three veggie cakes, also drizzled with olive oil and cooked for another 7 minutes.  

SUPER good, easy, cleanup a breeze (everything in the dishwasher!)

Chair and wine. Watched some of the Olympics, the news, and a Blue Bloods.

Good 60º clear sunny morning. My projection clock at 6:01 am said it was 60.1º outside!

Thanks Sally Harper for sharing this...

John Wayne's 5 Rules for Life:

1. Money cannot buy happiness, but it's more comfortable to cry in a Mercedes than on a bicycle.

2. Forgive your enemy, but remember the bastard's name.

3. Help someone when they are in trouble and they will remember you when they are in trouble again.

4. Some people are alive simply because it's against the law to kill them.

5. Alcohol does not solve any problems, but than again, neither does milk.

#4 is the one I had framed years ago and kept it in my office at ELA Station!

Ok this is interesting/scary.

The International Olympic Committee has announced today that it has taken back the gold medal previously awarded to American skier Lindsey Vonn..................

and has given it to U.S. President Barack Ovamit!

Olympic officials said Ovamit deserved the medal more than Vonn because no one has ever taken a country downhill faster than he has.

(OMGOSH, Gator, this made me laugh out loud!!! At first I was worried.....)

Friend Mo Meyer and I were discussing her painting of Avalon over her bed. I said I had one too...

The painting I have is by Cao Young...

National Creamsicle Day

The heat and humidity of August beckons you to discover, and to enjoy, a summer cooler. A creamsicle is an excellent choice. This is one of several chilly ice cream and frozen snack days to enjoy on a hot, sticky August day. Just make sure to eat your creamsicle quickly before it melts.
