More Rain ~ Sami's Frozen Party/Birthday Breakfast ~ Oscar Stuff ~ National Anthem

Good 48º raining morning. Rained hard in the night. We got 3/4" of that wet stuff so far. Looks like it might taper off a bit. Pressure going back up.

Boy howdy did the wind blow yesterday. Rained, hard at times too. All just for Sami and her birthday! LOL We (Brian, Jen, Tucker, Sami, Grandma Jean, and I) all went to Tap Rock for breakfast yesterday to celebrate with Sami. Here is the Smilebox I made... but first here is a picture of Sami 5 years ago... she was saying "sushi"!

Here are both celebrations on the Smilebox...

Afterwards I came home... just not enough sunshine!

tripped and fell on the red carpet this year.

Hmmmm.... either a clutz or can't walk in heels or snorts/smokes something!

Then there was the 81 year old Kim Novak... OMG.

Here are some tweets re her look...

Luke:"Sorry, but Kim Novak's plastic surgeon should be sued for malpractice."

Bob:"And the winner for special effects, Kim Novak's plastic surgeon."

Billy:"You know what guys, Kim Novak is 81 and she didn't fall down twice, unlike some other people I know."

Matty:"Anybody else find it ironic that Kim Novak gave Frozen the Oscar?"

Not only is her face frozen she acted like she's had a stroke!

And next .... Goldie Hawn... another plastic surgeon rip off! Her lips just look weird!

        

There was a lot of other stuff I wasn't fond of... the songs from the movies and how they were presented... Ellen romping around in the audience and taking "selfies" and distributing pizza. And Matthew McConaughey for Dallas Buyers Club????? REALLY? Come on.............. There is more, but I'm done with "I'm wonderful I got an Oscar". 

All I know. Gotta catch up today. Too much weekend partying... Nuff said. Ciao.

National Anthem Day  

 The Star-Spangled Banner is the national anthem of the United States of America. It was written by Francis Scott Key. National Anthem Day celebrates  this song, and the rich history behind its creation. The song officially became our national anthem on March 3, 1931.

Celebrate today by proudly flying the flag. Also listen to and sing the Star-Spangled Banner.
