I'm an American.


Oh and I'm enjoying a little bowl of Kettlecorn while watching the Chicago Blackhawks in the semi-finals of the Stanley Cup.

Armymom, You must change your call sign if you are going to inform us of micromins, four inch pumps, clevage, and flirtations with junk yard dogs...The idea of Mom in that context just does not apply

Got my Bike out of storage last week. Rode it a few times back and forth to work.......went for an AWESOME 5 hour ride along the front range. Temp in the 80's, lots and lots of Sun and NO wind.

And now enjoying a few frosty cold adult beverages.

I'm happy that the earthquake we just had didn't turn out to be the big one.

ETA--revised seismic data "Light"? Who comes up with these euphemisms?

With daughters like these we can never have enough guns. Maybe if the boys had to clear a minefield and breach the wire to get to the front door and still get by us . . .

Don't forget the 1000 question written test as well. And the joint car safety inspection that he has to undergo every time he takes the daughter out.

She's a pretty young lady!

I would have put an ankle bracelet on the young man and surreptitiously placed a GPS tracking system on his car after I hired a PI to follow them all night..... And told him Ted Bundy was my uncle and Jeffrey Dahmer was my 2nd cousin. But that's just me.

Sitting here thinking about this weekend is my happy thought for the morning.

Headed up to the mountains Saturday to do a little cedar gathering and wound up bringing home something entirely different! Found these two young grrrrlz wandering lost and convinced them they would be better off letting us help.

We stopped in Greenwater, WA, population 600, left our phone numbers at the 2 stores and fortunately the humans belonging to the dogs were smart enough to stop and check in there.

Hand off was not effected until Sunday afternoon, so we had two rather charming houseguests for a slumber party.

Would have loved to keep them, but it's even better that they got to go home!
