Good 35ยบ yawning morning. Yesterday was gorgeous and warm and sunny.
Today would
have been my Dad's 113th birthday. Leslie Laney. Being Irish and born the day
before St. Pat's ..... Missed it by a few hours! Darn! Pictures: 1946 and 1976
... with me ... and on their 50th anniversary..... He passed away in 1991. His
family came from Ireland, back then their name was O'Laney. The "O" was dropped
when they immigrated to the US as Irish weren't in good favor back then. The
family fought in the Revolutionary War...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY!
xoxoxo

present. Don't beat Dave too hard with it!!! LOL.

Last night was the Elk's Corned Beef Dinner. The company was fun... Dee and Dale Yellin, Paul and Tammy Allgood, Bill Jackson and his gal Pat, Jennifer Murphy, and me. The food was EXCELLENT! Eric always does a fantastic job. He even showed me in the meat locker the way his corned beef (from Colorado) order comes in. Here is my plate... I was good... no potatoes just meat and veggies...
I ordered a carafe of chardonnay and added green food coloring to it.
Jennifer wouldn't drink it... said it looked "yucky" ! LOL.
Last night they gave out awards for the "Elk of the Month" for last and
this year and special awards for special Elks. I was made 'official photog' for
this, so will have to sort through the photos and send them to the new Exalted
Ruler, Tom, who asked me to do this. Will make a Smilebox and post tomorrow.
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Sunday. Ciao.
