Day One Hundred Sixty Six

June 15. This year is half gone already. Looking forward to the next half, aren't you? So I thought I'd celebrate by eating a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. Not that I needed the excuse. It was yummy, by the way.

Day One Hundred Sixty Five

My front porch flag--long may she wave over my house
every day.

June 14 is Flag Day in the United States. It commemorates the adoption of the flag of the United States, which happened that day by resolution of the Second Continental Congress in 1777. In 1916, President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation that officially established June 14 as Flag Day; in August 1949, National Flag Day was established by an Act of Congress.

Day One Hundred Sixty Four

I love the night life. I like to boogie. Hahahaha! Yeah, right. This is restaurant row in Cookeville, Tennessee, at about 8:30 P.M. on a Saturday night. The day got long for some reason and supper time got late. We ended up at Chili's for better or worse. My stomach will hate me later.

No boogie.

Day One Hundred Sixty Three

I'm always at least one step behind the times it seems. I just ran across this cool web site today. It's Pandora.com where you can create your own radio station. Type in the artists or songs you like. A random stream of those songs is created for your listening pleasure, plus it will seek out similar types of music and artists and add that to your station. I'm listening to it right now. A Journey tune. You can check out other people's stations, too. It's nice if you want some background music while you surf the net. Thing is, it's so random, you never know what tune is going to pop up next. If you like the tune, give it a thumbs up and they'll keep playing that tune plus others similar to it. Or if you can't stand the tune, give it a thumbs down and they promise never to play that song again. I've just begun adding to my list of artists. Thought you might like to check it out if you haven't already. http://www.pandora.com Have a great weekend, Everyone!

Day One Hundred Sixty Two

Do you have an apartment in Yoville? No? Why not? My family and I always manage to discover and whole heartedly jump into major time wasters on Facebook. Recently, I've become a citizen of Yoville, a virtual city where my little "Kay" avatar visits friends and sends them messages, dances with them, fights with them, kisses their boo boos, tells them jokes, and sends them gifts. All of this is to earn Yoville coins. My little "Kay" avatar also reports to work in the Widget Factory twice daily where 200 coins are added to her account. If you don't earn coins, you cannot buy stuff to furnish your apartment, to eat or to wear. You may as well move back to Farm Town if that's the case. Yoville is weird, but I'm drawn to it for some reason. I've recently redecorated the rooms in my apartment. Dig the checkerboard tile in my virtual kitchen where as you can see my little "Kay" avatar is sitting and patiently waiting.....for what, I'm not sure. I just acquired a bathroom in my apartment and spent most of my savings decorating it with pink fixtures and tacky wallpaper. I enjoy Farm Town on Facebook way more than Yoville. But if you ever find yourself in the neighborhood, drop in sometime. We'll play Foosball while we dance to music on the jukebox, drink tall lattes and pig out on egg rolls and hot dogs. It doesn't get any better than that, folks!
