Hi Lauren!
We will all probably be staying up late tomorrow, so I will be going to bed early tonight.

Like the trainees at military schools we are going through a period of education. In a couple days will be graduation. Our course will be plotted for the next four years. Half of the people will be disappointed and about half will be happy.

All Day I kept trying to tempt Penny to eat, and her bowl just sat there with the accumulated delicacies that I had piled on...kibble, lamb, rabbit, and gravy.
Then I sat down with some popcorn to watch “Jeopardy”.
She came over and I tossed her a few pieces of popcorn which were seasoned with GOYA Adobo. (Not a whole lot, maybe four pieces)
Well, evidently the popcorn stimulated her taste buds, and she went over and cleaned her plate!
Now, I wonder, will she be expecting menu selections from Le Canine Sorbonne de la Haute Cuisine from now on?

Yes...we walk a mile every morning, and then around the complex several more times a day. She has met most of the neighbors and they like her a lot.

She’s so docile that it’s not a stretch for me to accommodate her on SOME things...but I barely cook for myself!

SandRat, USNA Annapolis Md is a place that carries great significance for me. In the mid-1960's my Uncle Maj. Jack Dowd, USA Ret. was Superintendent of the U.S. National Cemetery in Annapolis. When i got my driver's license in 1966, I headed up there almost every weekend. my cousin John and I assisted in parking cars on Saturdays in Fall at the then newly constructed Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, garnering entry into the stadium for games after about the first quarter.
John and I had other adventures on Academy grounds as well. We were 18 years old at the time and I was legal to buy beer and wine in D.C. I used to drive down Georgia Avenue near Walter Reed to the Cork and Bottle, load up the trunk of my '65 VW Bug with beer and head up the road to Annapolis.
We would go over to the Naval Academy at nightfall - we were granted entry by virtue of our military dependent ID cards - and set up under the footbridge that crossed College Creek. There we would drink beer and stick our nets into the water to snag blue crabs - returning to the Lodge at the Cemetery in the early hours of the morning, we would importune my Aunt Virginia (one of the most elegant ladies it has ever been my honor to know) to steam the crabs and we would have a morning crab feast. Good times, good people. Would that I could pass a word with them now!
