Meeting Maggie

Remember Maggie of the 1925 murder mystery I posted in 2011?  (If not, here is the link to THE STORY.)  (And a SEQUEL) At long last, Maggie and I got to meet in person today.  She and three friends were in town from Southern California and Nevada, to enjoy musicals at Tuacahn.  They invited me to lunch with them at Painted Pony.  Lovely day with these new friends!

Go Sili!!

Everyone seems to be getting on the "plastic straw replacement" kick these days.  I've gotten them as a gift and it started my awareness of the different brands on the market.  My grocery store had them in the bin where there are travel samples of various items, so I have gifted them to friends.  Here's a website

White Chili!

Many people know me for my super fantastic, award-winning chili.  It is definitely a winner and quite unbeatable, if I do say so myself, but I tried this white chicken chili today from House of Yumm.  I'm not sure I would call it "chili," however, as it seems more like soup to me.  Nevertheless, it is delicious and I've several containers in the freezer to enjoy later.  The only thing I changed -- took out the jalapeno!  There is still a teeny kick to the soup, but it's just right.

I Love Tuacahn

This year I bought season tickets for all three Tuacahn musicals for an incredibly low price.  This is one of my favorite things to do.  I've already seen When You Wish and Sound of Music, but am really, really looking forward to Little Mermaid which, in my opinion, is the finest musical Tuacahn has ever produced.

SoUtah Devil Pups Are the Best!

2019 Devil Pup camp was the best in our Southern Utah 13-year history.  We graduated 10 more pups (8 shown here along with the Liaison Rep and Trainer); three pups earned perfect physical fitness awards, a fourth won the 95 percentile fitness award, and a fifth had the prestigious honor of carrying her platoon's Guidon and participating in the Guidon Retirement ceremony.  The entire increment (pups from California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico and Utah) produced 8 pups with perfect scores - and we had three of them.  All this at Camp Pendleton, California, where we are every summer for 10 days of youth citizenship camp.  Southern Utah teens are awesome!!!  Congratulatoins, Devil Pups!!

St. Louis, July 8  The midnight visit of a black cat to her bed in a hospital caused the death of Mrs. Mary Ziegler, according to her physicians.  The cat climbed up in the bed and clawed the woman’s arm.  It was driven away by nurses and doctors, aroused by the shrieks of Mrs. Ziegler.  Mrs. Ziegler grew rapidly worse and died on the following night.
