Come on over for tea!
Don't be late, I've already taken some of the pills.
...only it it’s the tea that Sam Adams makes....
Everything was super and we had fun even though we just stayed there. In a couple weeks, skipping the week of the 4th, we’ll see if we can squeeze out a couple days and make a trip where we actually do something.
Okay what about Vodka that Vlady drink HUH HUH
a small story for you to ponder
A Bold Reever n’ Laird
A bold n’ knowing man ‘e were
as like ta fight ya as buy ye a round
n’ one who would stand firm ‘is ground
though sometimes in a dizzy blur
Eyes as like grey flint, ‘ard enough ta give chills
and yet wid a merry twinkle n’ a ready laff
‘e was not the sort ya made mad unless ye were daff
for hit were truth that in ta war ‘e had many kills
‘e made ’is name n’ took his loot
built a fine house n’ bought a title grand
a Laird of some means, n’ fair a hand
so many thought ‘im a right gent ta boot
N’ when the English came n’ raise merry hell
hit were ‘im what called us together a night
and we’d carry hit ta the bastards n’ a right fight
taking their measure before ta first morning bell
‘unted ‘e were, n’ ‘unting did ‘e in return
fer ‘e were o’ dis land n’ stood by ‘er in ta need
n’ they cames ta fear ’im, a wily foe among ta weeds
n’ deir anger ‘n need ta cotch ‘im did brightly burn
Awalk’n amid dem by day, ‘e raged across ta nights
n’ ta red coated bastards came t’ dread ta coming o’ dark
when things went bump n’ ta night, n’ hit were dread n’ stark
for ‘e owned ta night, n’ set ‘is hand upon dem a rights
‘E used ta land ta fit ‘is ends, n’ dey ‘ated it
outwitten dem each n’ every time ‘e did
fer hit were ‘is mind against them, ‘is ta bid
n’ so his story his bold as it hit should fit
So learn yer ‘istory, n’ remember it wid pride
fer hits filled wid stories a grand n’ bold
o’ men a iron who took fate in der own hands ta hold
Remember the Swamp Fox n’ ‘is bold night rides
OOPS That’s the rough draft (sorry)
A Bold Reever n’ Laird
A bold n’ knowing man ‘e were
as like ta fight ya as buy ye a round
n’ one who would stand firm ‘is ground
though sometimes in a dizzy blur
Eyes as like grey flint, ‘ard enough ta give chills
and yet wid a merry twinkle n’ a ready laff
‘e was not ta sort ya made mad unless ye were daff
for hit were truth that in ta war ‘e ‘ad many kills
‘e made ’is name n’ took ‘is loot
built a fine house n’ bought a title grand
a Laird of some means, n’ fair a hand
so many thought ‘im a right gent ta boot
N’ when the English came n’ raise merry ‘ell
hit were ‘im what called us together of a night
and we’d carry hit ta ta bastards n’ a right fight
taking deir measure before ta first morning bell
‘unted ‘e were, n’ ‘unting did ‘e in return
fer ‘e were o’ dis land n’ stood by ‘er in ta need

outwitten dem each n’ every time ‘e did
fer hit were ‘is mind against them, ‘is ta bid
n’ so ‘is story ‘is bold as it hit should fit
So learn yer ‘istory, n’ remember hit wid pride
fer hits filled wid stories a grand n’ bold
o’ men a iron who took fate in der own ‘ands ta ‘old
Remember ta Swamp Fox n’ ‘is bold night rides
Oh good glad all went well! I am sure it was fun as it was different for you.

Hi Meg, it is hot and steamy here today. What a sharp change in temperature. Oh well, that’s the Northeast for ya.
Lovely flower frame this evening, thank you.
;o)
It is delightful out right now..73 when I went to put critter food out for the raccoons..When they sun comes out we will be steamy and hot..This is most unusual weather we are having!..I expect hot, temps in the high 90s, and dry.
Flash flood warnings here. The ground is saturated I see a big orange blob heading our way on the radar...I just heard a thunder rumble and here comes more rain. Have a pleasant evening!
My goodness, such pretty flowers. Thanks.
Thank you. I think they are lovely, too.
I think that was taken at a flower show in Australia.
( I really should unplug the computer..but I am tired of doing so!)

 You could be a champ at chess or Survivor. Well grounded, you are able to be realistic and rationalize. On the inside, you have a hard core. It's tough to phase you. You are super productive, and you are able to think anything through. Focused and super charged, your instincts are a good guide for your next step. |
Goodnight Soaring Feather. Rest well.
| Your Element Is Fire |
 You make sparks fly, and your passion always has the potential to burst out. You are exciting and creative - and completely unpredictable. You sometimes exercise control, and sometimes you let yourself go. Friends describe you as sensitive, spirited, and compulsive. Bright and blazing with intensity, you seem mysterious and moody to many. |
