It's Raining!!







I got home from work and was taking a nap when I heard all kinds of noise coming from outside. Waking up completely, I realized it was thunder. I looked outside and this is what I saw. It is so nice to see it rain.

Surprise!, Surprise!

Assalamu Aliakum!

Last night I received a very surprising "Skype phone call" from my old friend Norman Harrell, the "Original Stormin' Norman". I guess he had contacted Kim and she provided him with my Skype name so he called me. It was really great to chat with him about things that are going on in our lives. I congratulated him on his recent marriage to Laura and talked about other events and friends and such. Norman told me of old friends and acquaintances that were at his wedding, some I have not seen in over 20 years, but then again I didn't know he was planning to get married. I will probably stop by and see him in person when I get home on R&R in a few weeks. Norman is a really great singer and song writer I have known since 1972 and he still plays a few gigs, so I go to listen and socialize whenever I can.


About 3 weeks and counting down!!

Dinner Salad..

Today I got home from work and decided to fix a bite to eat. Well, I have some lettuce and tomatoes, cucumbers, some soy beans and sunflower seeds, onions, bell peppers and all the fixin's for a salad, so I took that route. But I need something else to put into it. Looking in the freezer I found just what I needed. Chicken Breast! I then fired up the easy bake oven and broiled me 2 breast fillets, seasoned with Mrs. Dash, and in no time at all I had some great smells coming out of the oven. Now I had to fabricate a salad dressing with things on hand, so it was a homemade Italian style (oil and vinegar) with more Mrs. Dash ( really wonderful stuff ). Now the chicken is cooked and sliced for the salad, the dressing is made, as is the salad. Put it all together and VOILA!!
