Oh my gosh! I didn't know anything about the Cereus Plant - it's amazing that your sil got that picture last night! I would probably have been all ready to take the picture and then my camera wouldn't work!

Tell her thanks for sharing it with us. I love these kind of one-of-a-kind pics!

[Billie]

LOL! Yep, it's still in my head, too.

Cute riverboat pic. :)

[Billie]

WOW! Wouldn’t THAT be some duo?

I can't think of any two artists I'd rather see perform one song together than those two. I really can't.

Now, I need to go open your YouTube of the Gig Street Boys and let it be downloading. I know I'll enjoy it. :)

[yorkie]

I hope you can listen to it all the way through, (if it downloads) - they really get to jammin’.

[Billie]

why don't you play me a little Taylor, please! (I'll be back after while)

Well, you twisted my arm, but here - and again, this is *just* for you (yorkie, don't look!):)

Hey! I love silly!

[yorkie]

OK - I won't look - (but I might listen!)

[Billie]

OK - I won't look - (but I might listen!)

LOL. That'll work. Enjoy. :)

Gotta go for a while - back later.

LJ, I was glad to read that you also have an RV.
You takin' it out, soon?

[ConorMacNessa]

Thanks very much, Lady J.! Hope you have a great Tuesday, too!

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

We should be taking it down to Cape Cod for a couple days away the middle of next week. Do you have an RV?

[yorkie]

Not any more. Years ago, when the kids were little, we had a large bunk house trailer - it slept nine - and we would pick up the cousins and take them all over the country. We cooked every meal on grills, if the weather permitted.

Then, my best friend had one, and she would take hubby and me on little jaunts. It was so much fun - and I sure miss RV’ing! She sold it, after the potty hose broke loose from the sewage dump, and went crazy, shooting you-know-what, all over her.

[Lady Jag]

thank you.

Today is U.S. Coast Guard Day.

On August 4, 1790, the Revenue Cutter Service was created by the U.S. Congress. Congress authorized the construction of ten cutters. These ships were built to to enforce U.S. tariff laws.

The Revenue Cutter Service was the predecessor the the U.S. Coast Guard.  The name "Coast Guard" was first used in 1915.

[Lady Jag]

LOL! I saw a video of that. A novice was using the dump station and the hose went spastic. That is way too gross.

This is what ours looks like except it's not pink.

Love it!
I always think of Tina when I see Proud Mary...though your version is the one I first remember years ago.
Thank you for the cute opening.
Back to work..I haven’t unloaded the groceries and I have many phone calls yet to make.

Working to keep us safe.
