~ Clouds ~ Computers ~ National Nurses Day ~


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Good 43º, somewhat cloudy, morning. Pressure really started dropping last night but is backing up today.

 
 
And then there was this little birdie, one of the sparrows that is making a nest in a birdhouse on the porch, singing and chirping away... as soon as I got him in focus.....

 Fine.
 
 
Something funny....
 
 
Here are a couple of sites for those of you who are "texting" disabled.....  I know some are, since they asked me what BRB meant on Bin Laden's last FB entry......
 
 
 
Yesterday I mowed, and mowed. Here is most of the area that got a trim....
After I washed the grass out of my hair and off of me I went up to Patty and Cliff's. I set up her new computer and installed their AOL for them. She also got a new printer, similar to mine, but I couldn't get that thing to cooperate. Uninstalled it and reinstalled it, but still got an error message. Maybe when her son is there this weekend, he can figure it out, or she should just call Dell. Grrrr.....

Sue,
Interesting that Princess Margaret got married on Tony Blair's birthday.
Years ago in Las Vegas we went to see Joan Rivers show. She made the funniest joke about Princess Ann. You know that she is so homely. It was right after her wedding and Joan said the Queen had to throw a bone down the aisle to get her married! LOL Cracked me up!!!

Wow! Clooney sure did improve with age!
A huge hug to Gator on his birthday!!

XO Trisha

Yes, Clooney was a geek for sure! Gator just sent me pictures from last weekend of his granddaughter's wedding. He says this is 1 down and 5 to go! Wow. Glad my granddaughter isn't ready to get married yet! xo

Happy Birthday to Gator!

Eeegads. In a million years I would never have guessed that was George Clooney. The story of the ugly duckling comes to mine):-

When I would visit Gerry in England- Blair was Prime Minister. There were afternoons I would spend in the hotel room watching and listening to Blair. At the time Clinton was President. Their speaking styles were similar- but there was a tone of sincerity with Blair I found lacking in our President. Always wondered if I knew Blair better if I would have felt that way.

At least Blair is nice to look at, as opposed to Clintoon!!!
