Hi Ladies,
Have you all recovered from that debacle last night? I see where the people in charge of the debates are changing the rules. Like no interrupting the other candidate while speaking. Talk about a playground bully!!! I hope the supporters saw him (45) for the bully he really is. Oh by the way he lied about the Sheriff out here. Portland doesn’t have a sheriff, the county has the sheriff, Portland proper has city police & police chief, and the state has the State Police. and the sheriff came out immediately on Twitter saying he never said he supported him nor does he. Nobody in law enforcement has come out in support of anyone, actually.
Now I’m really confused. I don’t understand why there’s such a shortage of chicken back there. Our grocery stores have it on sale every other week or so. whole chickens, family packs of thighs, legs, or quarters (legs & thighs together). and of course chicken breasts. wings are outta sight price wise but they do have them in family packs like the rest. I used to get turkey thighs every so often in the off season, but they’re hard to find now, & way more expensive than they were before. I used to get Cornish game hens yrs ago dirt cheap, under a dollar per bird, but now they’re like $3-4 or so each now. It must be the difference between the East coast & West coast. The meat cases are always full unless they have a really big sale & they run out, but they give you a coupon & you can get it when they get a supply in.
Oh on a more serious note, did Barbara’s son & family move back there? The Napa Valley’s on fire down there. Isn’t that where they moved to? I hope they’re safe back there. Our fires are still burning but not like they were. People are going back to find if they have anything to go back to. the rains we had last week helped alot with the cooler temps. I don’t think they’ll be out until it snows. We’ve been having a return of summer this week. In the mid 80s but it isn’t going to last long. I think starting this weekend it drops down into the 70s, more normal for this time of yr.
We’re getting some of the smoke from the Ca. fires along with the hotter temps. But nothing like it was a few weeks ago. I can still see the sky, it’s just a pinkish haze, good for sunsets & moon rising.
did I tell ya I got some of those fairy lights? I put some of them in my fall bouquets & around the decor. I tried taking pics of it & will try to send em along. TRY being the operative word.
take care, stay safe.
