Throw Back Thursday...
Daddy and I in front of Robert E Lee's mansion.
Such a dummy!!!
Yesterday was haircut day. Always have a great time with Leah
my hair girl. We chatter and chatter about everything! Next it was to Brian's
office with my iPad. He is going to update it and fix it. Didn't have my correct
password, so had to call him later. Next was the Three Rivers lab for my
potassium blood test. Safeway for groceries. Home! Had to reset my password for
Apple. While I was out driving yesterday I was wondering why almost every single
driver was driving like an Adam Henry. Then it dawned on me, it was a full
moon!!!!!
When I worked the desk at Lakewood Station answering 911 and calls for
service, the calls that came in on a night with a full moon were NUTZ!!! It
certainly does seem to have an affect on people.

filled up on the ravioli and melons. There is always today!
