What is it about Americans and chicken soup - I suppose it is the same as the traditional British drink of Beef Tea when one was ill.

[Wolfstar]

I love the Santa Rosas..which is why our home abuts them (see my profile page, and look beyond the birdies!)

Oh, VERY cool. A roadrunner. They are such great fun. I love them.

This morning, I fantacised about seeing a herd of black Suburbans coming up our road, because we live a hundred yards from a well known local trailhead....didn't happen, though!

Sigh...the stories you could have told.

[snugs]

No problem

[Wolfstar]

snow geese............. fantastic

They are. Canada geese fly into Salton Sea also, but in nowhere near the numbers of the snow geese.

*claps* Yay! Thanks, Mom! I'm starting to feel better already.

[Wolfstar]

It was so damned windy from about 6pm on, that I doubt he stuck his head outside...we sure as heck didn't. We've got downed palm fronds all over the streets this afternoon.

Did it rain? It rained very heavily, although for a short time, here in Torrance around 9:00pm or so. I loved it.

[snugs]

I did not know they actually existed what is there correct name?

[Wolfstar]

Great dose today, Wolfie. I especially love the ones with the service members.

Hi Gretchen. Thanks, and aren't those service members SO cute.

I think it's a Jewish tradition, snugs, and a very good one.

Nothing tastes quite so good as chicken soup when you're recovering from an illness.

MR Ohio made some for me last week when I was suffering from a nasty stomach virus. It was one of the only things I could tolerate.

(Ginger Ale or toast are also good).

Is "beef tea" beef broth or tea?

Oh........I forgot to tell you........we got an e-mail from daughter in England, and she used the word 'whilst'..........and I thought of you. It's a lovely word!

Those Marines and sailors are so young and good-looking, it makes me wish I was 19 again. Sigh.

I've always had a soft spot in my heart for guys in uniform. I've been married to a retired AF guy for 42 years now. And 24 of those were when he was active duty.

[ohioWfan]

Good! That was my goal. :)

Once that antibiotic gets in your system, you'll start feeling much better.

[kitkat]

I am SO glad you went to see the doctor. Now follow his orders.

[Wolfstar]

I did not know they actually existed what is there correct name?

Roadrunner. Honest. They are a desert bird and yes, they really do run fast. Actually there are several species of roadrunners that live in the American southwest (perhaps elsewhere in desert climates).

[Wolfstar]

I've been married to a retired AF guy for 42 years now.

Wow! My most sincere and hearty congratulations on such a long marriage.

mr. president, you make me smile :D

[Wolfstar]

mr. president, you make me smile :D

I just hope my throat eases up enough for me to sleep tonight.

[SwatTeam]

It is difficult to believe it has been that long. We still have lots of fun and find just millions of things to talk about and laugh about. We've had to work at it, of course, but it was definitely worth working for.

[SwatTeam]

If you can stand to gargle warm salt water that might help.
