Beautiful picture, Conor. Thank you.

Looking at that rainbow, I’m hoping it is a sign that the awful weather is over.

100 degrees ... Whew!

Not that warm here, yet. :)

We are having strange weather. It was a nice morning yesterday but the wind really picked up in the afternoon. It stirred up all of the allergies.

Today should be a nice day .... so far we have a high of 65. It will probably get to about 80 later today.

Have a delightful day.

Isn't THAT the truth! Been miserable with mine.

You're lucky...we had rain yesterday, as well as the wind!

Ohhh, Meg. What a precious graphic. Both the little boy and the German Shepherd are beautiful.

Wishing you a Terrific Thursday.

I really hate the wind. I like rain but it is the wrong time of the year for rain. I know the farmers are happy that it didn’t get this far south.

I should probably take a Claratin but I hate to take anything.

“Harold Camping, who predicted the end of the world, says the new date for the apocalypse is October 21. If it rains, it will be October 22.” -David Letterman

“More than 250 colleges are using graduation gowns this year made from recycled plastic bottles. It’s great preparation for the job most college students will be getting: collecting and recycling plastic bottles.” -Jimmy Fallon

***

“The other day in Indiana, a woman burst into tears while she was robbing a Long John Silver’s and told the cashier, ‘If I weren’t down and out, I wouldn’t be doing this.’ Then the cashier told her, ‘That’s what all our customers say.’” -Conan O’Brien

***

While I was dining out with my children, a friend of my neighbor, who recognized us, came over to our table, and we started talking.

He asked where my kids go to school. I told him we home-schooled them.

With a raised eyebrow, he asked if my husband is the sole breadwinner for our family.

I said, “No, I also work... but out of our home.”

Then, noticing our two-month-old son, he mentioned that his daughter had just had a baby, and he wondered what hospital our son was born in.

“He was born at home,” I answered.

The man looked at me and said, “You don’t get out much, do you?”

*-——————— Guaranteed to Roll Your Eyes -———————*

In one of my classes, they were discussing the qualifications to be president of the United States. It was pretty simple - the candidate must be a natural born citizen of at least 35 years of age. However, one girl in the class immediately started in on how unfair was the requirement to be a natural born citizen.

In short, her opinion was that this requirement prevented many capable individuals from becoming president. The class was just taking it in and letting her rant, but everyone’s jaw hit the floor when she wrapped up her argument by saying, “What makes a natural born citizen any more qualified to lead this country than one born by C-section?”
