These r great gifts. Numnum, peaceful. Even better than this, the gift-givers will be right next door & just a hop up the highway. Happiness!

82 = not a bad run

Most Americans probably can't imagine a vacation outside their home state at this point, let alone heading to the moon. It's pretty cool for us all that at one point it happened.
Neil Armstrong was perhaps just the voice we recognize behind the huge team it must have taken, but it's a bit sad to think that he's history now.

"I turn and burn"

Lady Lazarus - Sylvia Plath

My opinion is right darnit!

Um, yeah. It's all about perspective, but once again we are reminded that sometimes it is better to be kind than to be right. There are so many things in this world that are really screwed up - minor squabbles just seem so exhausting and petty. At times like these, I really miss the doglettes.

Oh? Yes, thank you!

Sitting on my sweet patoots,  listening to a summer storm blow thru - Beb's fixing me a cocktail. How could this get better?!





Maybe if he gets kickin making a cherry tart?






Pretty decent guy I've got:)

Feedback

I know, I know - shouldn't judge oneself solely on what some stranger says. Seriously though?

How come when I was younger, it was all snaggle-toothed, whisky-soaked, old men that flirted with me?

How come now that I am getting around the middle of my time, it's all young guys. I don't mean attractive, cabana boys either. I feel kinda weirded out when some spotty kid who is trying out his first patchy mustachio starts talking me up.

The way this is going, in another ten years, babies will be trying to grope me.

Warm summer night

The light was beyond perfect tonight. Plus, the artichoke by my mailbox is blooming away. So content!
