ON THIS DAY

On Feb. 19, 1945, during World War II, some 30,000 United States Marines landed on the Western Pacific island of Iwo Jima, where they encountered ferocious resistance from Japanese forces. The Americans took control of the strategically important island after a month-long battle.

Thank you, Dolly! No - you don’t post too many pics of you - when I type to you, I feel like I already know you. It is much more comfortable to post to others, if you have an idea of ‘who’ they are. (There are some here, that I don’t know a thing about - don’t even know if they are a boy or a girl - and that makes it hard to communicate, IMHO!)

Thank you, JC! I turn off the computer early often, too! (I do the same with the tv also!)

Sometimes it’s nice to do a little reading (Like Paula Deen’s Magazine) in a quiet house. Of course, her pages are filled with calories - and it kinda scares me to even peek inside. LOL!!!

Aw, thank you, Meg! You are beautiful, too.

Isn’t it wonderful that “God didn’t make no junk”?

(Who is responsible for the wrinkles, I ask......) LOL!!!

I know....it's not a cat, but, the picture intrigued me.
(Maybe it's photoshopped?)

Happy Caturday, dogurday and hen-ur-day!

I’ll try to get back after while to post my Caturday and answer pings. I am going to this place on the Virginia side of town to pick up some homemade hot tamales. You must order them ahead of time and then pick up.

This started in this little city when I was a little girl. There used to be this little black man who made them and he pushed a cart up and down our main street selling his tamales. There is no one in this town who doesn’t remember him and his tamales. Now, his family fixes them. You can order mild, hot, and extra hot. I ordered 3 mild and 3 hot. You can refrigerate or freeze them. My brother took a couple dozen back to Georgia and put them in his freezer. They are wonderful. I will have two for lunch today and can’t wait!

Kleenex is a wonderful invention

Isn't it?

Can you imagine how wet our sleeves would be? ;)

Hope today brings you some relief!

"Tamales.......I will have two for lunch today, and can't wait!"


That is what I had for lunch yesterday, JC!

I simmer mine (with husks on) in a mild red enchilada sauce
For about 20 minutes.
When I take them out of the husks,
I put some of the sauce over them
And grated cheddar cheese.

YUMMMMMMY!

A hurt shared is halved ... a joy shared is doubled!

God uses all things in our life to teach us. Our part is to pay attention and learn of Him.

We “are without excuse” is says in Romans ... for unbelief. The unforgivible sin ... unbelief.

Happy Caturday/Dogurday!

It's raining "cats and dogs" today,
So we are going to snuggle all day,
if possible! :)
