Good 31º clear and cccccold morning! Ice everywhere.
This was yesterday....
A friend went to a gun show recently and said he spent all day, big show,
lots of people buying handguns, a lot of people just looking. Hundreds signing
up to join NRA - WOW! The best sign he saw was at a booth that read:
"IF YOU VOTED FOR OBAMA, WE DO NOT WANT YOUR
BUSINESS. YOU ARE TOO DAMN STUPID TO HAVE A FIREARM!"
Now, that is a REAL background check!
I'm sorry, yesterday was birthdays of two special people and I forgot to
post them.....
Adele (Easton) Graves, friend from high school..... her birthday special
because her daughter flew in from Georgia to help her celebrate. HAPPY BIRTHDAY
DEL!!
(Del and her little Barkley)
AND yesterday was Gary Adkison's birthday. He's the Bird Man of Rogue
River. HAPPY BIRTHDAY GARY!
Historically this date...
1846 – The Donner Party of pioneers departs Springfield,
Illinois, for California, on what will
become a year-long journey of hardship, cannibalism, and
survival.
1865 – U.S.
President Abraham Lincoln is shot in Ford's Theatre by John Wilkes Booth
(died April 15th).
1912 – The British passenger liner
RMS Titanic hits an
iceberg in the North Atlantic at 11:40pm
(sinks morning of April 15th).
1969 – At the U.S. Academy Awards there is a
tie for the Academy Award
for Best Actress between Katharine Hepburn and
Barbra Streisand.
........don't know why. Oh wait.... those voting are Hollyweirdos.
And births this date include....
Yesterday was Tucker's 3rd baseball game. They won 16-9. Tucker, as usual
played GREAT! The coach on the opposing team was a loud-mouthed old fart. None
of us in the stands liked him! Let the kids play, for goodness sake! Quit
telling them how to do every thing and yelling the instructions constantly!!!
Jerk.
Brian helped out as an ump....
Jen, 'team mom' took pictures....
Of course Sami was "Spiderwoman" again! So fun.
Came home after the game and Dave (UPS Dave) came by with Dude. Dude is now
Maggie's new brother! Dude will be living here and Dave and his kids will have
visitation privileges! Dude is a sweetheart, and so far Maggie has told him her
rules and he seems ok with that.
Dude is 5 or 6 years old, Dave got him "free" from a guy in the market
parking lot when he was about 1 year old. Unk his background, but the "guy in
the parking lot" said he was Heeler and Lab mix. ??? Here is a lab and a
heeler....
Any ideas folks? He has a slightly curvy tail, his coloring is almost like
Maggie's. Short hair, sort of lab ears, short hair, stocky body. Could be what
he said!
Dinner was a ham/spinach/asparagus pie, but will post that tomorrow.
All I know. Tomorrow is Tax Day. I got my refund ... yeah! Nice to see that
check with the government's signature!
Happy Sunday. Ciao.

April 14th
Ex Spouse Day
This day is in recognition of your Ex. Someone must have been kidding when
they created this day, right? Could anyone actually want to recognize their Ex?
Most of us want to forget them. Hard as it may be to believe, Ex Spouse Day has
indeed arrived. Once again, I will remind you that I do not create the days, I
merely report them. So, please don't shoot the messenger.
Look Up At The Sky Day
Look Up at the Sky Day is a fun day to check out what's up there. 'Ya never
know what might be going on up there. An asteroid or meteor may be on it's way.
A solar eclipse could be on display. A flock of geese or birds may be over head
(you may need to duck for cover). Or, the clouds may be forming into interesting
characters and patterns. Take a few minutes out from your busy day to look up at
the sky today. If nothing else, the break from the routine will be
relaxing.
National Pecan Day
Pecan Day is a rather nutty day. Its a day to celebrate and enjoy popular,
tasty pecans. Apparently, someone thought that it was such a great nut, that
they created two days to celebrate Pecans. One in March, and the other in April.
A little nutty perhaps, but true.
Name the only nut tree native to North
America. ... You guessed it........ Pecan trees.
Reach As High As You Can Day
Reach as High as You Can Day is a day to expand your horizons. And, it
truly will be an uplifting experience. Today, there are no limits. You can
literally reach for the sky. Is there something you've wanted to "go for", and
felt it was just out of reach? A new job, perhaps? Maybe a date with that cute
co-worker or classmate. Whatever the challenge you face, if you reach as high as
you can, you just might win the prize. And, you will never know until you try.
So, use Reach as High as You Can Day to reach and attain, or even surpass,
your goals and objectives. You'll be oh, so glad that you
did!

Happy Sunday!
Way to go Tucker, and his team. He looks so cute!!!!
Dude is one lucky dog to be living with you. Once he gets all the rules down I am sure he will be great. Can't wait to meet him.
"Ex day"???? Not shooting the messenger, but Really???? Who comes up with these days??? Crazy
Off to cut down trees and do a burn pile, hope your day is grand. chat later. Oh, you're welcome for my short comment and I thank you for your blog. giggle xo
Jeannie
You goofy girl!!! Thank you!!!! xoxox Hope you find that pitchfork!! You'll need it this summer to cook your hot dogs! xo
Wow! Tucker has great form behind the plate. He lasted more than one game in that rigorous position- which puts him in the upper echelon of catchers already. There is a reason that the fastest way to the Bigs is to be a catcher.
Don't think Sami will ever have shyness issues. Or if she's like her grandma- any trouble being right up front with her opinions):-
You could turn the lyrics of Hey, Jude into something for Hey Dude.
Hi Sue,
Dude looks like a really 'kool' dog and I believe the 'mix' is right on,
however, a little more Lab. ENJOY, I know you will :)
linda
Yes, Tucker has it down. Thought his dad taught him, but Brian says no, he's a natural ....like his dad was!
Hey Dude don't be so sad
Take a sad dog and make it better
Remember to let her into your heart
Then Maggie can start to make it better......
Hi Sue,
Dude looks like a really 'kool' dog and I believe the 'mix' is right on,
however, a little more Lab. ENJOY, I know you will :)
linda
Thanks Linda...you are the "dog lady" and should know! xo
Thank you Sue for the Birthday wish.
Is her lens cap on her camera? Kinda looked like it. i hope she took it off before snapping pics of the game.
You didn't sign your name, Adele or Gary???
The end of the lens is dark and Jen has a lens "hood" around the lens so it looks like the cover is on. No, Jen is a very accomplished photographer and since it's a single lens reflex she can see through the lens what she is taking a picture of... xo
I like Dude, he has a great face. I hope he treats Maggie and Brusier well. He seems very mellow.
Bruce and I just got back from our Laughlin/Grand Canyon trip. Said HI to many for you. Hope you can go next year, we enjoyed it and will go again.
I hope the sun stays out for you all for awhile now.
Keep on bloggin - really enjoy it!!
Love, Gail
Thanks Gail. Glad you had a good time. I'm looking forward to Ike's pictures. xoxo
