Ike was a non-event for us…no wind, no rain…drats! We were hoping for just a little rain…it is so dry here right now. But I’ve learned to be wary of wishing for rain. Sometimes Mother Nature over does it a bit and then we have to grow webbed feet again!
Luigi and Marjorie Corsi just called to check on Mac and Consuelo and to let us know they will be visiting in about 3 weeks. Tony and Annie Camacho called last night to say, guess what…they will be visiting in about 3 weeks! We would prefer them visit at different times. We don’t get a lot of company, so we would like to stretch it out and savor it. I hope it works out the way we would like, but if it doesn’t…se la vie!
Heather, we tell our little Skips all the time how special you two are and for that matter, anyone else that will listen! And of course they get a lot of smashies from Dad mostly. Skipper is chewing on a fuzzy toy in the previous post. Here he has a rawhide. What a cool dude he is…
Ray and I went to the movies today and saw “Righteous Kill” with Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro. It was pretty good and we certainly enjoyed it. We came home and watch a DVD about working on the road while traveling those highways and byways…very interesting. It certainly gave us some good ideas. You guys know me, I have to something productive or somehow I feel like I’m dying on the vine. A little part time job would fill the bill nicely. The speaker said that most of the resorts love to have hire “workampers”. Official definition: Workampers are adventuresome individuals, couples and families who have chosen a wonderful lifestyle that combines ANY kind of part-time or full-time work with RV camping. If you work as an employee, operate a business, or donate your time as a volunteer, AND you sleep in an RV (or on-site housing), you are a Workamper!
This is a new word for us...we like it. After a little research, we find that there are a number of resources on the net to help find a job. We think this is going to be fun.
Here is another item that was on the Labor Day Feast table...
Dirty Rice
Serves a bunch
16 Ozs Pork Sausage, Hot, Bulk
3 Bunches Green Onions, chopped
1/2 Tbsp Chicken Bouillon
1 Tbsp Creole Seasoning
2 C Rice, White, cooked
1. Chop green onions separating tops and bottoms.
2. On high heat, sauté sausage, breaking apart, and bottoms of green onions till cooked.
3. Add chicken bouillon and lower heat and simmer for about 5 minutes.
4. Turn off heat and mix in Creole seasoning. Add green onion tops and toss in hot meat mixture until just heated through, about 30 seconds.
5. Add cooked rice and mix very well.
You guys probably have this recipe, but I thought it was worth repeating. Enjoy!

Wow, so glad you didn't forget the green onions!! Remember when I made this and didn't have green onions and you told me that it wouldn't be Dirty Rice without the Green Onions? So, newbies, beware - you MUST have green onions!
Yikes, it looks like our nephew Skipper is smoking a cigarette! AAAAGGGHHHH!
Glad all is well with everyone.
We saw Tony and Annie last April in Barra. Have fun!
