Today is NATIONAL HOMEMADE COOKIES DAY

If you are looking for an excuse to bake some homemade cookies, eat some homemade cookies, take homemade cookies to work or to the neighbors, today is your day. October 1 is the annual celebration of National Homemade Cookies Day.

Can you smell them now? It may be chocolate chip, peanut butter, oatmeal raisin, monster, sugar or any one of the many homemade cookies baking in the oven that gives the home the wonderful aroma that makes your mouth water.

Many of us have wonderful memories of coming home to warm homemade cookies waiting for us with a glass of cold milk or going over to Grandma’s house to a plate of fresh homemade cookies on the kitchen counter. Those are wonderful memories that bring smiles to our faces.

NATIONAL FIRE PUP DAY

In the United States, Dalmatians are commonly known as firehouse dogs.

National Fire Pup Day is celebrated each year on October 1. This day is designated to recognize our canine firefighters, the four-footed members of the fire department.

It all began when the use of Dalmatians as carriage dogs was transferred to horse-drawn fire engines. In the days of the horse-drawn fire carts they provided a valuable service, having a natural affinity to horses. The Dalmatians would run alongside the horses, in front of or beneath the cart axles and cleared the way for safety. Even though the horses are long since gone in the fire houses, the Dalmatians, by tradition, have stayed.

The Dalmatian today serves as a firehouse mascot and is sometimes used to educate the public in fire safety.

Dalmatians are often chosen, as a pet, by many firefighters in honor of their heroism in the past. Click on the photo for some great fire pup stories!

Good Morning CGs!

Well we had a good time at the pumpkin farm yesterday. Kids enjoyed themselves. Unfortunately the hot dogs were not good and sort of made us sick, but we got over that. Despite that we will still chalk it up as a win.

Cool here, the fall weather is really showing. Nice to sleep with the windows open a crack and get that cool breeze. I don't even need a swamp cooler.

Pirate Gris, I hope you're feeling better.

Hope everyone has a great day!

"True Gris" after his eye surgery:

Does anybody take anything seriously here? Simply, No!

Good morning

I scheduled the MOH surgery the day after I get back from vacation. I was sitting in the doctors office and he ran through a series of questions. Lastly he said "Let me ask you a question. Would you go to your pulmonologist with a cigarette hanging in your mouth?" I looked at him squarely and said "Maybe". He said "Most people would have said no." This is why I asked. Being a dermatologist and surgeon Why do you come to my office with your face all red? He was thinking it was from the sun. I always wear sunscreen and a hat when I go out. I told him it was my blood pressure, which it was. I flush when I get around people of authority, pretty women and others. All those little capillaries on my face are close to the surface of the skin. They fill with blood giving me the appearance of a sunburn. I don't even know it till they tell me. Then I'm embarrassed about that. That's a hand me down from my Irish/Hungarian heritage. People always think I've been out on the boat and sunburned. Oh well.

Morning guys....it was a late night, but I wouldn't have missed it for anything. Early morning meeting this morning so I got to go.

GO ROYALS!

Tommy those little blue pills can also make your face red I have heard.....

I'm mad I gave up on the Royals and went to bed when they were behind.....geez what a great win....I will have to watch Sports Center this morning to see the highlights...

Today some office work and into Lincoln to see my own skin Doc and then we have Bible class.....yes I'm taking the GS even though it looks like rain.....November cometh....

Let's go gettum Guru's......True GRIS.....hahaha...I like that.....

Howdy! Another gloomy-looking day out there. Today our sprinkler system gets shut down, so the end is near. Congrats to the Royals - hope they have a successful playoff run!

Have a good one, Gurus!

He at wave coming back
had 5 days of cool weather.

Went back for a little nap and woke up and the weather did a 180 and now its sunny and warm.....gotta love this great State where weather can change in an hour.....

I NEVER gave up on MY Royals, Marcus. I had a feeling they would make the comeback and another comeback and then another comeback.

THE SUN IS SHINING ON THE NATIONS THIS MORNING, RAIN TONIGHT THEY SAY.

EYE IS IMPROVING, STILL FOGGY/HAZEY. DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS TO BE EXPECTED OR NOT. GOT A PO FOLLOW UP THIS AFTERNOON, MAY FIND OUT SOMETHING THEN.

TOMMY, I'M WITH YOU; JUST WALKING IN A MEDICAL ESTABLISHMENT CAN MAKE MY BP GO UP. SPENDING A YEAR IN THE HOSPITAL 1967-68 MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THAT :-0

Nice day here, rain due in tomorrow. I have a Mack truck to measure for a wrap tomorrow, they think a rainy day is best since they won't be using it then. No consideration for me trying to be out in the mess with a printed paper writing on it getting wet measuring the thing.
Long day here today, nothing to work on and it's only 10:30. I'm done with that Pet Calendar for the paper except the ad lady of course has her end all screwed up as usual. It was due off to the printer today and she's one ad short. 13 months and a back cover, makes 14 I need not 13. She ALWAYS does this, I HATE working with her.
Gris I'm glad your eyes are on the way to better visions of sugar plums...
