Yesterday I did not do much! Even Bruiser slept most of the day!

Dude did get a run as I had to take the trash can to the road. Don't know why. Thought it was Sunday. DUH. Oh well. Now I don't have to take it today! Then it was too hot to be outside. 96º by noon. UGH. I did work on the Smilebox... sorting through all the photos Jen and I took.

National French Fries Day

National French Fries Day
French fries are consumed in many countries and go by many names. The accompaniment that you choose to go with your fries says a lot about where you're from. In America, it's generally ketchup. In Britain, vinegar goes with fries, or chips, as they're called. Mayonnaise is the condiment of choice for fries among Canadians.
So as to that universal question "Do you want fries with that?", say yes! After all, today is National French Fries Day.

Your son has your smile and creativeness and positive attitude! How fortunate! The artist did a great job on the shoes I liked those shoe designs! I liked yesterdays dog tales and todays Guinness wouldn't come up on my computer, so I can't comment. You always do a great job!!!
