GOOD MORNING

                      

GOOD MORNING ALL. IT'S MONDAY, THE START OF A NEW WEEK. IT'S SUNNY AND GOING UP TO 47 TODAY, WITH RAIN TONIGHT. YEP I SEE A MELTING IN PROGRESS OF ALL THE ICE OUTSIDE, YIPPEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! AND EACH DAY THIS WEEK IS SUPPOSE TO BE WARMER THEN THE LAST. IT WORKS FOR ME, LOL.

I HAVE 112 JOURNAL ALERTS TO GET TOO. AND I AM GONNA TRY TO GET TO SOME TODAY. I AM SO FAR BEHIND IN EVERYTHING LATELY. BUT I AM TRYING TO GET CAUGHT UP. SO IF I HAVEN'T BEEN TO YOUR JOURNAL IN THE PAST FEW DAYS, I WILL GET THERE I PROMISE.

WELL, AFTER LAST NIGHT'S HAPPENINGS OUT DOORS AT 10:PM AT NIGHT, I AM GOING ON LINE TONIGHT AND REALLY START LOOKING FOR A PLACE TO MOVE TOO. JIM AND I ARE SITTING HERE WATCHING TV, AND WE HEAR A BUNCH OF YELLING, SCREAMING AND CUSSING GOING ON OUT FRONT. WE LOOK OUT THE WINDOW AND THERE'S A WHITE GUY LAYING ON THE GROUND WITH HIS ARMS WRAPPED AROUND HIS HEAD IN A FETAL POSITION. STANDING NEAR HIM IS 3 COLORED GUYS KICKING AND STOMPING ON HIM, YELLING "WHEN WE TELL YOU TO GIVE US YOUR MONEY AND S--T, YOU F'N BETTER GIVE IT UP MOTHER F'ER, AND THEY KEPT KICKING AND STOMPING. THEY DIDN'T STOP UNTIL SOMEONE YELLED COPS ARE ON THE WAY, THEN THEY GOT IN THEIR CAR AND PEELED WHEELS AWAY, LEAVING THIS GUY ON THE GROUND. HE KEPT TRYING TO GET UP BUT HE'D FALL RIGHT BACK DOWN. TWO GIRLS RAN UP TO HIM AND HELPED HIM UP, ALMOST CARRYING HIM. OUT FRONT IS A BIG STREET LIGHT, AND YOU COULD SEE THE GUY, HIS FACE WAS FULL OF BLOOD, BLEEDING FROM HIS FOREHEAD. I HEARD ONE OF THE GIRLS SAY LET'S GET HIM TO THE HOSPITAL. HE WAS IN REALLY BAD SHAPE. COPS DID COME, LONG AFTER EVERYONE WAS GONE, FIGURES. THE 3 GUYS BEATING ON THIS GUY? DRUG DEALER'S. SEEN THEM AROUND, KNOW THE CLOTHING. THEY GOT A CODE AROUND HERE, BLACK BAGGY PANTS, LONG WHITE TSHIRTS BLACK AND WHITE BANDANA'S ON HEAD ARE DEALERS OF COCCAINE, BLUE BAGGY PANTS, LONG WHITE TSHIRTS AND BLUE AND WHITE BANDANA'S ON HEAD SELL MARIJUANA, AND THEY ALL CARRY FLOURESCENT BLUE CELLPHONES. THEY WILL JUMP YOU, ROB YOU BEAT ON YOU, SHOOT AT YOUR HOUSE, SMASH OUT YOUR VEHICLE WINDOWS, SET YOUR VEHICLE ON FIREIF YOU EVEN DARE TO CALL POILICE ON THEM. IT'S SICKENING, I AM REALLY STARTING TO HATE THIS CITY. I CANNOT WAIT TO GET OUT OF IT. MY DAUGHTER EMMA'S NEXT DOOR NEIGHBORS WENT AWAY FOR A WEEKEND. EMMA HEARD AN ALARM SOUNDING SO SHE CALLED 911 THINKING MAYBE IT WAS THERE SMOKE ALARM. WELL POLICE GOT THERE AND CHECKED, NO SMOKE TO BE SEEN, BUT THE BACK WINDOW ON THE PORCH WAS BUSTED OUT. SOMEONE TRIED TO BREAK IN AND ROB THEM I GUESS, AND THE ALARM WENT OFF. EMMA KEEPS ALL HER WINDOWS LOCKED, BUT STILL THEY CAN JUST BREAK THE GLASS. I TOLD JIM WHEN WE MOVE WE NEED A DOG, SOMETHING THAT WILL ALERT US TO A PROWLER AND SCARE AWAY WHOEVER IT IS WITH THEIR BARK. LOL.

OK HERE'S A COUPLE PICS OF THOSE STROMBOLI DINNER ROLLS I MADE LAST NIGHT. THEY CAME OUT WONDERFUL. I LOVED THEM, AND SO DID EVERYONE ELSE. EMMA STOPPED BY RIGHT AFTER I TOOK THEM OUT OF THE OVEN AND SAT DOWN AND ATE 2 OF THEM, LOL. IT'S OK THOUGH, CAUSE MOMMA WANTS HER TO EAT AND FEED MY UNBORN GRANDCHILD. SO HERE'S THE DINNER ROLLS,BEFORE THEY WERE BAKED AND AFTER THEY WERE BAKED.

I PUT MINCED OLIVE OIL AND GARLIC ON THE DOUGH AFTER I ROLLED IT OUT, THEN ADDED PROVOLONE CHEESE, SHAVED ROMANO CHEESE, PEPPERONI SLICES, SAUTEED MIXED COLORS OF PEPPERS, MOZZERELLA CHEESE IN THEM. VERY TASTY. I'M THINKING MAYBE I WILL MAKE SOME AND FREEZE THEM AND BRING TO BERLIN AUCTION ALONG WITH THE DIPPING SAUCE FOR THEM AND GIVE THEM TO JEANNE WHEN WE MEET SATURDAY. HEAR THAT GIRLFRIEND? LET ME KNOW WHAT TOPPINGS YOU WANT PLEASE. THEN SHE CAN LET YOU ALL KNOW HOW THEY TASTE. LOL WELL, I HAD BETTER GET TO READING SOME ALERTS, AND GET TO MY HOUSEWORK SO I CAN COME BACK AND READ SOME MORE ALERTS AND ADD SOME POEMS TO MY POETRY JOURNAL. HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY.
