Good 46º scattered clouds morning. 

Yesterday after putzing around in the house I was going to mow, but back was being killer, so put it off til today or Tuesday. Then Dude ran and I drove the golf cart to the road to put out the trash can. I cut up some boxes for the recycle can also.

I put up my Dennis Richardson for Secretary of State sign, LOVE Dennis, good guy, Viet Nam veteran...

 with the help of my neighbor Frank, who showed up at the right moment!   

Sunny day and temps hit 82º.

I had picked up my mail yesterday and my primary ballot was there so I filled that out. Shall be an interesting election! Cleaned out some old old paperwork. Paid bills. Made a donation to my friend Greg Walden's campaign for US Congress. Out of the 5 Congressmen, he's the only conservative congressman from Oregon! And both our senators are Dems. Greg stands up for our military and veterans and their medical and benefits and the 2nd Amendment. GO GREG!!! 

Later dinner was reruns, chair, wine, and TV.

All I know. Nuff said. Happy Monday. Ciao.

Brothers and Sisters Day

             My wedding day June 14, 1975... L-R Mom, Betty, me, Marion

Brothers and Sisters Day is a day to cherish your siblings. Sure, there are times when you love your brothers and sisters. And, there's times when you want to disown them. All in all, having a brother and/or a sister or two, is invaluable. The older you get, the more you learn to appreciate them.

Celebrate Brothers and Sisters Day by touching them in some way.  A card or a phone call is appropriate for those who are separated by too many miles. A visit, or sharing a meal together, is a great way to enjoy this special day.  

Don't have a brother or sister? Become a "Big Brother" or Big Sister". Chances are, there is an organization in your area. And, they need your help.

Brothers and Sisters Day is similar to National Sibling Day, held on April 10th.
