Moon phase new... 0% full...next full moon will be June 4th.
Good 47º scattered clouds morning.
I am on my laptop and not a happy camper. My keyboard for my desktop died
yesterday. After several attempts with new batteries it's gone. The old keyboard
from another computer has the wrong plug in for my current one so it's off to
Staples this morning to solve the problem.

... and of course, Maggie was enjoying the cool grass for a nap....
.... which is exactly what I wanted to do after sitting on the riding lawnmower for 3 1/2 hours! I was ready for the 'home'!!! A couple more hours to go and all will be mowed. Not today. Maybe tomorrow.
All I know. Hope the clouds go away so we can see the eclipse. Next one

I wonder if we will be able to see it from here?
Gotta love quiche lorraine. :))
Kim, click on the link for the eclipse and it will tell you where it can be seen. xo
Looking forward to tonight's gathering and the viewing of the eclipse. Don't forget your cardboard with the hole in the middle, that is if you don't have the special glasses.
Maggie has quite the life. She looks sooo comfy!
Boy, Cher sure has changed, and not looking that great I may add. Wow!
Quiche Lorraine one of my favs.
Happy Sunday to you, and we will chat later. xo
Jeannie
Yes, looking forward to this evening too..... and seeing Mary and Bill again!!!!!! LOL
mmmmLove Quiche Lorraine!
What a pretty lady and a beautiful family Lisa has!
A few years ago Daryl made a killing with Levis. Somewhere he found brand new RED tag Levis and sold them for a nice profit. Many pairs. Don't know WHY they are valuable but guess they are.
Have fun tonight at the eclipse par tay!!
XO Trisha
I know Levis sell for a lot overseas, but right now they don't seem to be moving here. Oh well... Will do re the par tay!xo
You ought to look up Cher's mother's picture. She's the beauty in the family.
Quiches are a family favorite- but trying to do with less crust so the diabetes stays in remission.
