Junie's First Communion Celebration Trip - pt 2
I'm at the top of the scenic tower at Holy Hill with Junie. 178 stairs. I may be dying. I won't know for sure until I stop panting.

Showing off Junie and her dress to Mom and Aunt Rosie. I think she made their day! 🙂 - at Southpointe Health Center
Avengers: Age of Ultron at the Avalon

The First Communion Cake goes wrong!
I'm at the Walmart on 27th and Ohio picking up the Communion cake and it's all messed up. They made her a cake welcoming a little newborn girls birth. I'm scrambling to get it workable for LK
Update: What it should have been
and what the final product looked like after our repairs:
Did I mention Mayweather won?
Last night I had a GREAT time with Alex Q and company, and hope to visit again soon. At the same time Lisa had a blast hanging with her stepsister Jane and her husband Dan.
Oh - and some guy named Mayweather won \. Just in case you hadn't heard. Lol

Mayweather v Pacquiao
It's about time this fight happened. And don't count me as some doofus that thought Floyd was waiting to "age out" Pacquiao - Mayweather's the elder of the two for Pete's sake!
I'm looking forward to this!
update: Floyd WINS! Judges score it 118-110. 116-112, 116-112. As I posted on Twitter BEFORE the announcement, I scored it 118-110. I know my boxing lol. #TMT #undefeated
One More Day!
Buying the ham and rolls for Junie's First Communion tomorrow!! - at National Bakery (New Berlin location)

40 years ago today
On this day in 1975 Saigon, the capital of South Vietnam, fell to the Communists, signaling the end of a war that had stretched back to the 1950's.
It was America's first real defeat (albeit, via a lack of politcal strength, not military might) and led to untold suffering by millions of Vietnamese.
I have no problem with restored relations with Vietnam, and I welcome their success going forward, but I do grieve for the lives of those we failed so many years ago.
