When your 81yo dad starts messaging links to a recipe his grandma made, you make it. His grandma Caroline lived til 99yo, and I remember eating cruzciki. I'll be taking Hawaiian Punch as well, that's what GGMa served with it.

I applied for my passport on July 17. No travel plans nor did I expedite. It arrived at my house on August 1. Now, where to go first? Not that I can afford international travel right now other than a quick day trip to Canada.

My daughter is on her university logging sports team.

At the grocery store this morning, a single can of Pillsbury cinnamon rolls was $5.99. I only looked because I had a coupon for $1 off 2. Um, no. The Annie's were $7.99. Thank goodness I can bake. I'm going to make a batch of cinnamon rolls on Sunday.

If you are heading out to SDCC this week, stop in and say Hi to my peeps at Rupp's Comics (1101), Aspen Comics (2320) and Alex Ross Art (2415).

Compared to the shit show that is our nation at the moment, my husband and I celebrate 30 years this weekend. The house we live in is where we had our first kiss as teens. Our friends and family helped us celebrate today.

I appreciate my city workers today. Someone hit a skunk in front of my house at 6am and the city roadkill crew had it cleaned up by 1pm. Smelly work but very much appreciated!

Didn't get a chance to make it yesterday to #makeDollyPartonsmile but I'm making my box mix pound cake with a Dolly Parton twist. Mix, plus ingredients, extra 1/3 c milk, 1 box coconut pudding (dry) and 2/3 cup toasted coconut Mix together then bake in a greased bundt 45-50 min.

I have the day off work in the middle of the week. I have plans, let's see how much I get done. Bird watching, gardening, a yoga class, and ignoring any work calls and texts.

Neighbor noticed me working on the garden and I mentioned no zucchini this year. I think his brother and a friend ate 50% of the zucchini last year. 2 plants was giving me 8 zucchini a week for a month and then 2-3 a week for another couple weeks. Too much for me to do every year.

Some mocha scones on a dreary Sunday. First time I've had the energy to bake from scratch since January.
