Throw Back Thursday.... Brian "golfing" the acorns 1973:
My pal Cathy just got her three new pug puppies, Binky.. Blue.. and Bear.
She got them from back east. Her love dog was Bumbles, a pug she had for 13
years, and wanted another pug after she passed away last year. These three all
came together. They were flown out to Ca and they were exhausted from the
travel. Here they are when first arrived... and then in their snuggy bed!
Happy puppies. Will have a GREAT home with Cathy!
Ok, this is toooooo funny, well, except for a couple instances.... 1. the

Thank A Mailman Day
Thank a Mailman Day is your chance to say thanks to the guy, or gal, who
delivers your mail. After all, they are there six days a week. The reliable
postal worker is always there doing their job, regardless of the weather. They
are a hardy lot. You'll find some mail carriers on walking routes, wearing
shorts in all but the coldest of winter days.
Did you Know? Pony Express
riders were the most famous early American "mailmen". Their motto was " Neither
rain, nor snow, nor death of the night, can keep us from our duty". This motto
is believed to be taken in part from a motto dating back to ancient times. Among
the most popular variation is "Through rain or snow, or sleet or hail, we'll
carry the mail. We will not fail".
Make it a point to catch your mail carrier enroute today. Give him or her a
great big smile and a great big "TY". If you happen to visit your local post
office, give them a thank you,
too.

Oh my those cars and bus lucked out that they didn't crash with another vehicle. Like those folks who were falling, that happened to me. When Kevin and I were in DC for GW's Inauguration we were on a congressional tour of the Congressional Library. It started snowing while we were inside. When we came out and we were walking down the drive, my feet went out from under me and down I went. It was icy and doofus me wasn't wearing my snow boots. I wore my fancy high purple leather ones which was a mistake. Thankfully my thick fox coat saved my rear end.
Adorable photo of Brian with the golf club.
Daryl loves pugs and would love to have one of this three. Adorable.

Yes, T, good thing you were wearing a thick coat!! OUCH. oxox
LOL- That thick fox coat of Trisha's- we had to hide her behind trees when we hailed a taxi because the fares negotiated were less than if the cab driver's saw that coat before quoting a price):-
I wore my blue cowboy boots- at George Washington's garden is when I found out how cold leather can turn. Made me feel for those revolutionary fighters in bitter east coast winters. But they did get us invited to Ron Paul's party. One of his staffers figured anyone wearing those had to be from Texas.
Met Clint Black once. He and his family were at the same salon. Terrific people. Polite and happy. Glad for their good fortune. Nice to be around.
I have never ridden in cabs, so am surprised they would raise or lower their fare depending on what they perceived of the riders. Yes, Clint Black does seem like a nice person! Thanks L. xo
