Today was National Hot Dog Day! I ate the leftover hot dogs from last night for lunch…
We had a cheese tasting and chat about all things cheese at work this afternoon…
My favorite cheese I sampled was the Tillamook Hot Habanero Jack. But it was cheese,
so they were all pretty dang good. I saw this cool little moped outside of work…
And someone lost their shoes. It’s been a while since I’ve seen a pair of lost shoes…
Later in the evening when we were walking Oscar, there wasn’t a cloud in the sky…
We had chicken and broccoli noodles with garlic bread for dinner…
It was sort of like Fettuccine Alfredo. But still really tasty. And then we watched the USMNT take on El Salvador in the quarterfinals of the Gold Cup…
Despite a less than convincing 2-0 USA win, it was still a really good Wednesday. Taken with Instagram. 😀
Today was the annual Northside Fourth of July Parade.Last year, we skipped the parade because it was raining. And we were trying to get situated afterjust moving into our house. The weather this year wasmaybe a little on the warm side but pretty perfect. The parade was scheduled to step off from way up Hamilton Avenue at noon. So we walked down Pullan Avenue to try to stake out a spot streetside about fifteen minutes beforehand…
While we stood there waiting for our first glimpse of the parade, more and more people continued to line the sides of the street…
There was still no sign of the parade coming down the hill as we continued to bake in the hot noon sun…
So we started walking down Hamilton Avenue towards Hoffner Park…
Today marks the anniversary of D-Day (June 6, 1944). Starting in 1993, Charles
Schulz ran this comic to commemorate the beginning of the liberation of Western
Europe during WWII. Schulz died in 2000, but newspapers that still run “Peanuts”
still run this comic.
