I enjoy Dude and the Bruise...They just stayed close all day... Dude at my
side wherever I go ....
... and Bruiser on my lap when I sit down...
Did a lot of "stuff" yesterday. Cleaned out my computer. Contemplating
getting a new one. Got all Alex's graduation photos on a DVD for her and will
mail it. Nothing else going on.
Dinner was reruns... but pre-dinner was a watermelon martini...
YUMMMMMM!!!!!
Watched some TV. Napped in chair. Got up to go to bed and took a picture of
that full moon...
I like that new show, Night Shift. A little more intense and nuttier than
Grey's Anatomy. Guy who runs hospital is a jerk, one doctor was a medic in
Afghanistan during conflict. Interesting stuff.
Happy for LA Kings fans.
All I know. Happy Saturday. Wear your RED WHITE
& BLUE and make sure your flag is up. Nuff said.
Ciao.

Happy Flag Day! How neat that your anniversary is on Flag Day. You looked so adorable in your wedding photo. Your hair was beautiful.
I remember at Parnell saying the Pledge around the flag pole every morning as the flag was raised. Miss Yoder told us that we were now to add "Under God" to the Pledge. Wonderful!
Our flag has been down ever since we had those wild winds over a month ago. I just now asked John if he had put it up again and he said yes. Good!!
Your martini looks oh so yummy!! I'll bet it was good. A watermelon Margarita would have been yummy too.

OH and a HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our favorite Sheriff, Joe!! Wish LASD had one just like him!!
I read his auto biography and I was blown away by his background! I recommend that book to everyone. You will have soooo much respect for him! What a guy!

Thanks T!! Yes, Joe Arpaio is a great sheriff. I think John Scott is doing a lot of good for our LASD too. xo
A blessed anniversary to you. Happy trails, until you meet with him again.
