Good 46º scattered clouds morning.
Yesterday after putzing around in the house I was going to
mow, but back was being killer, so put it off til today or Tuesday. Then Dude
ran and I drove the golf cart to the road to put out the trash can. I cut up
some boxes for the recycle can also.
I put up my Dennis Richardson for Secretary of State sign,
LOVE Dennis, good guy, Viet Nam veteran...
with the help of my neighbor Frank, who
showed up at the right moment!
Sunny day and temps hit 82º.
Perfect day for Brian and Tucker... they went and played golf!

I had picked up my mail yesterday and my primary ballot was
there so I filled that out. Shall be an interesting election! Cleaned out some
old old paperwork. Paid bills. Made a donation to my friend Greg Walden's
campaign for US Congress. Out of the 5 Congressmen, he's the
only conservative congressman from Oregon! And both our
senators are Dems. Greg stands up for our military and veterans and their
medical and benefits and the 2nd Amendment. GO GREG!!!
Later dinner was reruns, chair, wine, and TV.
All I know. Nuff said. Happy Monday. Ciao.

Brothers and Sisters Day
My wedding day June 14, 1975... L-R Mom, Betty, me,
Marion
Brothers and Sisters Day is a day to cherish your siblings. Sure,
there are times when you love your brothers and sisters. And, there's times when
you want to disown them. All in all, having a brother and/or a sister or two, is
invaluable. The older you get, the more you learn to appreciate
them.
Celebrate Brothers and Sisters Day by touching them in some way. A card or a
phone call is appropriate for those who are separated by too many miles. A
visit, or sharing a meal together, is a great way to enjoy this special
day.
Don't have a brother or sister? Become a "Big Brother" or Big Sister".
Chances are, there is an organization in your area. And, they need your
help.
Brothers and Sisters Day is similar to National
Sibling Day, held on April 10th.
