You entertain often, must be a fun place to visit. :-) How's the pup? How old is he now?

We are plugging along at the store, slow but sure, keeping the faith.

Great story about Sgt. Leigh Ann Hester and her fellow soldiers here.

Thanks DD. We just bring it to the Foxhole, someone else writes them.

I can't write or sing. :-)

Morning Dark.

[Darksheare]

Morning!

...as I travel around the beautiful Republic of Arizona from gunshow to gunshow

What a life!

She now has plans to market the miniature cats, which grow to about 4 pounds, on the Internet.

Oh geez. There are enough cats and dogs without 'specialized' breeding going on.

[snippy_about_it]

She thinks that a little old, smelly, and messy cantankerousness are perhaps besmirching the diamond that is I...

LOL. Well I expect she does know best. We'll take her word for it. :-)

Hi miss Feather.

BG update:
Everything, and everyone, in the house is called by one of three names; That, Daddy, or Sadie (one of the dogs).

She is making stacks out of just about anything that can stack up.

The other night she about gave Msdrby and I heart attacks. BittyGirl was walking around, happy as a clam, with a pair of scissors, blade end first, in her mouth. We're not sure where they came from, since we keep ALL scissors put up due to Spiderboy's tendency to cut up anything and everything.

[Soaring Feather]

Oh my goodness, what a fright! I remember such times raising my kids. They can turn one's hair grey overnight.

Pup's doing OK. A year and a half old. He likes to chew yhings, including the toys we buy for him.

Trying to get him of that habit.

[snippy_about_it]

Oh my! That had to be scary.

[SAMWolf]

Bitty Girl's role model?

If we count the escort carriers, American industry launched the amazing total of 168 aircraft carriers before the end of 1945. :-)

Crewmen of an American ship watch the contrails as American and Japanese planes fight it out above Task Force 58 in the Great Marianas Turkey Shoot on June 19, 1944.

[Professional Engineer]

Tanks! oh wait, that's Tuesday.

Hi Feather.

[Professional Engineer]

This is one of my favorite aircraft photos. Oh looky, it's a FOG candidate as well.
