O.C. Sherriff gets the bad guys



ORANGE COUNTY SHERRIFF DOESN’T MESS AROUND
Lady in a Million dollar San Clemente single family home returns home for lunch to find two “guys” loading everything small and valuable into her best pillowcase
HERE IS ONE OF THE GENTLEMEN :   

HIS CAR (assuming it’s not stolen too) after he tried to
get away and hide in a busy Costco parking lot with shoppers on
Crown Valley Parkway about fifteen minutes after his well
planned heist:
No one was hurt, both robbers are in custody in 
nice Orange County suits.
Last night I was picking up dinner. A Sherriff was trying to enjoy the tied Lakers game and wolf down his dinner. He got a call to back up another officer and tossed his whole burrito (only one bite eaten) in the trash. I wish I had wrapped it up and brought it to him. These brave men and women don’t make big money but they keep us from coming home very often to find wierdos in our house.
P.S. GO Lakers!

Cherries Make it All Better



Last night my son, 13 lost his LNLL TOC Championship Majors game. Earlier in the day he learned after running an all out - up until one A.M. - poster making and marketing campaign for ASB that he lost (came in second). In the morning we learned that SOC Patriots don’t have enough boys signed up for football this season which he loved (parents can’t meet cost reasons) but he’s fine with playing Lacrosse instead. 

   On the way home in the car at ten P.M. we thought we might go to Yogurt Land to drown his sorrows, however they were closed. He didn’t opt to stop anywhere else, it’s Orange County and restaurants close early. He did not complain. I felt like a pity cry. No, I bucked up because that might make it worse.

   When we got home this bowl of cherries was on the counter and we relaxed on the sofa together as I rubbed his feet and he picked out the perfectly deep chocolate rouge ones until his teeth were stained. He smiled with those straight teeth and said, “Mom it’s funny how cherries can make a day just fine.”

  Attitude brings us up early today. It might be foggy wet and I can’t see the ocean because of the blanket over the sky but life’s a bowl of cherries. I am a lucky woman. I am having coffee at six A.M. in the most beautiful place in the world. So get out there my friends and think and organize and work your tails off- it’s cherry season.
