Good 48º raining morning. Don't know when it started. Haven't gotten much so far... Dude and Bruise weren't that wet after they went out and came back in this morning.
Remember where that tree was Mom? I like digging there!
Yesterday started off pretty beguine and then escalated... Sigh. That
lovable dog, Koda, who lives up the road made an appearance again. What a jumpy
energetic mutt! He was happy to down all the kibble in Dude's dish on the
porch.
I called his dad, but he said he was working and couldn't get him til after
4. His daughter was also working and his sister, who cares for his mom, wouldn't
be over there until after 11. I was just going to keep him in the yard, but
decided to take him home. Called Sean and told him to tell his mom I was
bringing Koda home. "Grandma" was happy to see him, but he didn't want me to go.
Anyway, long story short, he's back home with "Grandma". Sean said just to "let
him out and he can find his way home". Not. He didn't want to leave here.
Besides I just couldn't do that. What if he went down to the road and got
hit.
Speaking of dogs... here is Jake, my friend Erika's dog. What a love he
is!
This is fun! Happy dogs and a cat!
We had the Law Enforcement/.Fire luncheon. I wanted Mike to join us (being
a former Fire Chief) but he had something else to do, but promised he'd join us
soon. Lunch was good... I had the fish and chips (which I ate for lunch and
dinner!)
We had a good group... Dan (LASD ret) and Karen Pohl came down from Myrtle
Creek on their way to Ca. They had their 6 month old granddaughter Olivia with
them. She is a doll! So sweet and smiley. Safe trip guys. See you again!!
Then to Safeway to get edamame, cilantro, etc to make that hummus dip,
which I didn't. Will do today.

May 8th
National Empañada Day
Victory
in Europe Day (V-E Day) commemorates the end of fighting in Europe
during World War II. After years of war, The Third Reich of Nazi Germany was
defeated. Millions of people were killed. Adolf Hitler, Germany's Dictator, had
committed suicide in his bunker in Berlin.
The
German Army ceased fighting on May 2and, and formally surrendered
unconditionally, on May 7th. The surrender of all German forces was arranged for
May 8 at 11:01. The Allied countries planned to celebrate victory, and the
cessation of hostilities.
Did
you Know? The original planned date
for the celebration of V-E Day,
was May 9th, 1945. But, journalists caught wind of the plans. So, the U.S. and
Brittain moved the date up by a day to May 8th. Russia kept to the original
planned date for May 9th. Russia still celebrates V-E Day on May 9th.
