A stir fry of noodles, onion, garlic, carrot, sugar snap peas, chicken, bamboo shoots and Water chestnuts, julienned and woked, with a sesame ginger sauce. It was delicious. I am getting out my Asian cookbooks again and plan to do mostly all vegetable and chicken or pork stir fries. Occasionally with noodles or rice.

Tonight it was fairly warm out. I took the dogs out and sat on my back deck while they ran around. I started thinking about my late sister Jere. Today would have been her birthday. She loved animals, especially dogs, cats and horses, and also owls. She also loved sunsets. This one meade me think of her. Happy birthday Sweetie. It does not seem possible it will be 8 years in March since she died very unexpectedly. She lived all over the U.S., having been an Army Major's wife, but she loved Texas sunsets best. I did this shot with my iPhone 4S. It was on HDR setting with no flash. This little camera is very impressive. Worlds beyond what I had on my old one.

After thinking about it a lot, I decided to move my grind and brew coffeemaker into the Master Bath. I have it set to brew every morning anyway, and I always go get a cup and bring it back to my bedside while I read my email and check Facebook etc., and since it's just me now, I did it. Can't wait to smell that coffee in the morning. I still might move it into the louvered cabinet...not sure.

This is me in 1984 with our beloved white shepherd Ambrose. He was a teenager in this photo. His wagging tail was fairly lethal to that Christmas tree which was long before I learned restraint. I still miss that wonderful, wonderful friend. That tree is just OFF the chain. It had 1500 lights on it and enough bling to fund a small island nation.

Sammy loves to lay in the sun when he can. He has a perch on the screened porch just for him, he gets sun in the dining room on the cushion of the window seat in the afternoon, and my Den all late morning and afternoon, as I have shutters on the bottom half of the windows and the top half is bare. This one is taken on my desk which gets the sun from 11am-3pm, and again from the other window from 4-5 He rests in the antique wicker chair then. A very HARD life.
