VE Day

I've been busy all day, but I have not forgotten: today marks 75 yrs since VE Day.

I find it hilarious that the Covid protesters, who scream "Liberty!" and decry the Government "trampling on their Rights,' scream in horror - without any irony - at the DMV's decision to accept parental waivers in lieu of road tests. Now I disagree with the DMV too, but um, why Yon Protestor, are you now in favor of the State overturning the decision of a PARENT, and advocating the government be allowed to license and regulate a right to travel?

An Opinion

Can I just say again how much I don’t like video games? Heard of yet another person trying to get help/attention for themselves and their kids and failing because of the games draw. I’ve never had to compete against a toy and I’m so thankful for that! Dan ❤️ Young ladies, find a man with hobbies, one who likes to go outside, one who’d thumbs aren’t all locked up. Men with real friends not virtual friends. So pathetic fr. - Lisa

On Stores Now Gone

 So many good memories. Gimbal’s basement with my grandma, Arthur treachers with my dad, chi-chi’s with Boston store co-workers. Blockbuster with Dan as young parents. Ah, good times! - Lisa

Popeye's

Our family finally tried the Popeyes chicken sandwich. We wouldn’t fight anyone over it but 3 out of 4 of us that tried it think it WAS worth the hype. - Lisa

RIP Don Shula

Don Shula, the winningest coach in NFL history, has died at age 90. RIP.

Our Frigid Feast

This family bbq was planned for awhile...we froze but we feasted anyway, lol. - Lisa

How Time Flies

Five years ago was Junie's first communion. They sure do grow up in these particular 5 years, lol ❤️ - Lisa

I have a lot of minor misc home repairs. Most immediate is the gutter in pic. In need of handy man who won’t cancel. Any leads? - Lisa *edit- repairing doors/trim/railing may need to come first.

The Covid Lockdown Continues

Happy Day 46 - Lisa

From our friend Sybil in Scotland: Keep safe. We have still not been told to wear masks...There might be mention next Thursday when we have a review of the law to keep us in lockdown. There’s talk of a slight change we might be asked to wear masks on public transport or anywhere there might be many people around...Not many people want to wear them we think another three weeks in partial isolation would do no harm...

Missing that Marcus Guy

Dad you and your movies 🤣 - LuLu

 

Wow! Look at these flowers!

Ignore the messy table. Got a giant vase for nothing so Dan had to buy three bouquets to fill it❤️ Not sure we saved money with the free vase😂 But wow! - Lisa

The Girls Learn to Drive Stick Shift

So I taught both the oldest girls how to drive stick today. I may have aged 10 years, but no one cried! That goes down as a WIN! We may or may not have agitated a few other drivers and gotten beeped at a few times. Honestly It’s always shocking how impatient some drivers are. How did they know we weren’t having mechanical issues? Love you YaYa and LuLu, I promise driving stick IS fun, lol. So proud of you guys! 🚙🥰 - Lisa

I’m waiting for that fun to kick in🤣💕 - LuLu

Huckleberry!!!

We’ve had our pup Huck for 2 and a half months. He’s house trained for the most part with accidents at this point being our fault. Favorite naughty pastimes are digging up our yard and chasing Gus. Very treat motivated and devours rawhide bones, prefers them over our shoes ❤️. Still unsure how some get a dog to hold it an 8 hour work day (maybe comes with age?) He walks on a leach ok (haven’t stressed too many manners here), does stairs good. Knows sit, give paw, fetch and lay down (kinda) Needs work on drop the ball. He’ll bring it back but reluctant to give it to you, lol. Any tips from well trained dog owners? Especially to curb the digging? - Lisa

YaYa Buys Her First Car

It's a 1999 Volkswagen Beetle - stick shift - and she's justifiably proud of it!

Congrats YaYa!

The Punishment Doesn't Fit the Crime

As a punishment for institutionally approved cheating that altered the course of two seasons, this is a f'ing joke.

Easter 2020

It's Not a Good Day

It is gut-wrenching to realize that your mere presence makes just about any situation *that* much worse for those around you.

Leon's Accepts Plastic!

Wow. For out of towners, Leon's has been cash only for 78 years.
