Good 47º cloudy morning.
Well the weather forecasters goofed. NO SUN
yesterday!
Hopefully today. It even rained at the coast according to pal
Patty, and we got some drizzle here in the late afternoon. No rain forecast.
Duh............. Today is the same forecast... sun in the afternoon. We'll
see.
Throw Back Thursday...
Daddy and I in front of Robert E Lee's mansion.
Such a dummy!!!
Yesterday was haircut day. Always have a great time with Leah
my hair girl. We chatter and chatter about everything! Next it was to Brian's
office with my iPad. He is going to update it and fix it. Didn't have my correct
password, so had to call him later. Next was the Three Rivers lab for my
potassium blood test. Safeway for groceries. Home! Had to reset my password for
Apple. While I was out driving yesterday I was wondering why almost every single
driver was driving like an Adam Henry. Then it dawned on me, it was a full
moon!!!!!
When I worked the desk at Lakewood Station answering 911 and calls for
service, the calls that came in on a night with a full moon were NUTZ!!! It
certainly does seem to have an affect on people.

pineapple, and honeydew.
I was going to have chips and dip since it was that day yesterday, but
filled up on the ravioli and melons. There is always today!

Thanks T! xo
Happy belated chip and dip day to you. Chocolate covered raisins are too rich for my taste- although you tempt me to reconsider...
The Lee Mansion- Is that the Arlington home? If so, my memories of it are dim- other than it was beautiful. Polished wood floors and big windows. What I remember more is the story of this vanquished general.
It is easy to think of war in terms of generalities. But, really, the stories of individuals are what make the big picture important.
Yes, L, that was the home in Arlington. Took a trip to DC and toured everywhere! While we waited in line to see the White House, President Eisehnower raised an upstairs window and waved to us!!! xo
