I see it has been a year since I posted....guess I'm a bit slow. So, first things first....this is the new dog, who we got in August 2007 and is now a year old. His name is Red Buttons, who you who are old enough will remember as a comedian that looked just like this, with curly red hair and little button eyes. He is absolutely precious and we love him to pieces, as does Cookie, our resident pit bull. He has turned into my husband's dog, though, due to the fact that I don't have a lap to sit on. He snuggles with me at night instead. We have been busy this year making our 'house' a home. Thanks to our youngest son, we have done lots of yard work and added a beautiful patio to go with the Doughboy pool we added last summer. And glad we are that we added it since it has been in the 100s this last week. Not to mention the smoke from the Nor Cal fires.
I've also discovered a new place on the Internet and started a group of fun ladies my age, so we can feel free to discuss our view of the world. It does sometimes seem to be very different from the next generation's. And I'm sure it will become more interesting with the history making presidential election coming up. I have to admit I wish there was a woman person and a black person and an old person running all together....it has been exciting leading up to the primaries. And what happened to the conventions? I remember when they were a big deal and candidates were chosen there....at least I thought they were. Remember Chicago? Oh yeah, I remember Woodstock and The Haight and Barry McGuire too. And 8 tracks. Just thought I would throw that in there while I'm babbling.
Ok, enough. Lord willing, I will be back before another year passes, if I can find this spot again....it only took me an hour this time. A new friend reminded me that I had a blog. Oh, and while I'm waxing poetic, let me add a joke/quote that someone just sent me....I love it......
Powerful Women
Live your life in such a way that when your feet hit the floor
in the morning,
Satan shudders and says...
'Oh shit ... she's awake!!!'
