Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!!

It was a pretty award winning day in Central California.  My little tree didn't die, at least not yet.   That may change by tomorrow.  I watered it with that little hose on "low" for about three hours yesterday.  The plan was to turn the faucet off after my mid morning walk, but of course I forgot all about it.  Drowning may be the sad end.  We shall see what it looks like tomorrow morning.

No that's not a hole in my wall, I used the mark-up tool to obscure the house number.

While walking the neighborhood, I kept an eye out for appealing landscape ideas.  I'm happy to say I'm not the only one with big holes in my yard and not much growing besides the grass.  On my entire 2 mile trek, I only took three photos.  

This olive tree is right up my alley.  To be honest, I'm not sure where I would put it if I HAD one, but I'm sure something will die, in which case I will know just what to plant.  Otherwise, we all seem to have the exact same four varieties in our front yards.

Last night was the orientation dinner for those 40 new Elks Members, along with their spouses and sponsors.  That meant about 120 people for dinner.  Yikes!!  As an official officer now, I'm supposed to dress the part.  Tan pants.  I've never owned a pair of tan pants in my life.  Are you kidding?  They add 10 pounds and get dirty two minutes after you put them on.

I went to ... where else ... Boot Barn.  Lucky for me we actually have one here.  Sadly, there were no tan pants.  Oh well ..... no use wasting all that fuel to get here, I'll just look around.  WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER!!  

Did you know that bell bottom BOOT Levis were back in style?  Wow ... I wore these for forty years!  Although the skinny jeans actually work really well with my high top boots, they have become thread bare because new ones are impossible to find.  I suppose this is why!  I bought three pair.

In case you were wondering, yes I still have about 30 pair of Levis in my closet from the old days.  Sadly, I can barely get one leg in them, let along the middle part which is now twice as big.  BUT ... I'm keeping them because I just KNOW I will lose that 25 pounds and be able to wear them again.

On the way home, sans tan pants, I decided to continue the chicken war saga.  KFC has been advertising their chicken sandwich as the winner of all wars.  Looky here!!!  That piece of chicken hangs over the edge of the bun by an inch in all directions!  

It's even a REAL chicken breast covered in crunchy goodness.  It scores 9 out of 10.  Popeyes better look out because this is a keeper.  It had the perfect amount of mayo and three pickles underneath.  YUM!!

I suppose I should be comparing apples to apples, meaning I should have gotten the spicy version.  I guess I'll just have to try it one more time, you know, just to be SURE it's scores that high.

A quick check outside this morning, greeted by the wafting smell of DAIRY over the back yard fence (see Elva, you aren't the only one who has mooing neighbors), harkens to another beautiful day to practice my lines before the initiation of 42 members at the Elks Lodge tonight.  

That's right, it's TUXEDO night.  I was really hoping that moving the button over on the jacket would help, but alas it didn't do much.  I would have gone for the next size up, but the girl said it made me look like a linebacker on a football team.  Here's hoping I can suck my stomach in and hold it for one hour without popping the button.  Guess I'll be skipping dinner!!
