Blog I was going to post on January 10th

 I wrote this on January 9th and going to post on the 10th, but at midnight is when my power went out and no computer....... so, here it is a few days late!

Good morning.......

The gloom persisted yesterday... some drizzle and some snow...

Warmed to 40º! Zowie!

For breakfast I put some of my "blueberry/raspberry" sauce on some cottage cheese. The sauce was made from 1 cup of leftover berries, 1/3 cup water, and about 1/2 T sugar. Bring to boil stage and lower heat to simmer 3-5 minutes. Cool.

It is sooooooooo good. Would be GREAT on pancakes or waffles...

That and 2 eggs cooked 1 min 20 sec in a large coffee mug with a saucer on top in the microwave with Parmesan cheese and a drizzle of olive oil set atop a salad mix. YUMMMMMMM!!!!!

Bittersweet Chocolate Day

https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/bittersweet-chocolate-day/

Rain ~ Forecast ~ Geese/Turkeys ~ NFL ~ Hummingbirds ~ Roy Kaplan ~ Deer Buffet ~ Golden Globe Crap

Good 33º drizzly morning. In the middle of the night the rain started coming down hard. 3:30am I heard the wind and it was crazy loud! Scary. Now there are patches of melted snow. Here's what we are in for:

Yesterday the rain finally started after it warmed to 35º. Drizzled and drizzled.... and was terminally gloomy!

.... Bruiser and Dude kept watch from the porch...

Up on the hill the geese had gathered. (why don't they head south????)

They finally flew off and the turkeys took over that spot...

Yesterday's NFL games:

                                                   YEAH Aaron Rogers and the Packers!!!!

I was discussing the frozen - thawed hummingbird feeders with my pal Trish and here is the information on Anna's Hummingbirds who do not migrate from here in the winter....

I read on FB that an old friend, Roy Kaplan, had passed away from pancreatic cancer on January 4th. in Sarasota Florida. A loss. A great guy!

He was a Reserve Deputy and he, his wife Cookie, Jerry, and I became good friends. He retired and moved to Florida in 2000. RIP Roy!!!  

Cookie's dad, George Barrie owned Fabergé and through Roy and Cookie I got a job with Fabergé and I worked for them as a sales rep. That is where I met Farrah Fawcett, José Eber, and Cary Grant.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Faberg%C3%A9

We represented Farrah's line of hair products and José's. Cary on the other hand was divorced from Diane Canon and she was traveling a lot and it was difficult for him to go commercial air to visit his daughter, so George Barrie told Grant if he would represent Fabergé he would let him take his private jet anywhere anytime... all he had to do was go to the local Wal-Mart and do a promotion and take pictures with the managers.

My friend Adele shared this with me on FB.... she suggested I set up a buffet for my critters!

                                            They would LOVE it!!!!

Later dinner, chair, wine, TV. I watched "some" of the Golden Globes. WASTE OF TIME. I had recorded it so I could skim through and all those Hollyweirdos did was pat themselves on the back and make disparaging remarks about Republicans and Trump. What a bunch of CRAP!!!! Jimmy "Felon" (arrogant, self-loved, stupid comedian!) was the worst along with Meril Streep! Adam Henrys!!! ENTERTAIN us, don't give us your political views. Bunch of Dem Hill-Liary crybabies!!!!!  

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