First things first.... if you do not want to receive a daily email re the blog, just let me know. I understand a lot of people only read it periodically and a daily email is a pain. You still want a notification? Once a week?

 

Also, can anyone tell me why so many people post photos on FB with no explanation as to what in the world it is, or what's going on, or who it is. Are we supposed to be mind readers?

 

Pal Olga shared this on her FB page. So cute! Baby loves the rain! You will giggle....

Saw these photos and had to share. There is a youth group in Mexico called German Crew. There were all these homes on a hillside that they painted. Awesome! 

This is in Palmitas Mexico, near Mexico City, and the Pachuca District:

1968 – Rachael Ray, American chef and television personality

....if only she could keep her open palms in her pockets instead of waving them all over and in front of her face when she's talking and brushing back her hair! But, I guess it's impossible since she's Italian, but also she NEVER stops talking. Even interrupting special guest (all guests!) Tom Selleck! And she talks over everyone too. UGH. She cooks great, but wish she'd shut up and keep her hands DOWN! Also, she needs to quit saying (in lyrical style) "I know!" She's just plain rude!

 

 

OK.................off the Soap Box!

 I went out to take pictures and Bruiser was laying in the grass....

 

Then I went back out to get the sunset. Bruiser came up on the porch and was rubbing on my foot! "Hi mom, take my picture!"

I sent this picture to KOBI 5 News. We'll see if they use it.

Dinner was reruns. Chair, wine, and a movie (that I fell asleep during!)

 

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