Day One Hundred Sixty Seven

These two cocoons on my living room floor this morning are
none other than Shelby (top) and Elijah. Shelby got cold
after drinking some juice. Elijah just has to do whatever his
sister does.

My artist-in-residence. After watching the latest 'Jonas'
episode on her iPod this morning, she gathered her pens
and paper and literally drew pictures all day long, while
watching various TV shows on Disney and Nick. She did
break for lunch.

Copy cat artist-in-residence. He makes pictures for me and
hangs them on my fridge with all the magnets in my kitchen
drawer. He did venture outdoors this morning to jump on the
trampoline and play with the water hose. For about five minutes.
It was hot, so he headed back to the air conditioning and a cold
drink. After lunch, a nice nap and home again.

Later this afternoon, our fair city was treated to
a nice little thunder storm. Ominous dark clouds,
then heavy rain, some wind, some thunder and it
was gone just as quickly as it blew in. Can you tell
we need new gutters? Coming soon to a remodel
at our house. Ya!

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!
