Morning Manna.

After a two week visit from the In-laws, Snippy's visit was just what I needed to get my morale back up.

Morning Glory Kids~

Bump for later . . . I've got jury duty today; LA Superior Court (Yikes!). God bless . . .

Thanks SAM, At least I'm not at work after a 45 minute commute!

[snippy_about_it]

That explains why I have all these thoughts swimming around in my head.

LOL! You're good.

[snippy_about_it]

Good Morning 'joe', glad you like them. Oregon is beautiful and SAM is a gem.

Thanks For The Memories

Thanks for the Bob Hope Pictures.

A sad day it is, losing such a fine man as Bob Hope. Many will remember him for his movies but many more will remember him for all he did for our troops around the world.

THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES, BOB. AND THANK YOU FOR THE SEAS OF SMILES AND LAUGHTER. YOU EARNED YOUR ANGEL WINGS A LONG TIME AGO.

Morning w_over_w.

Do they make jury duty easy to report for there? Illinois had a "call in to see whether to show up system" that worked pretty well

[SAMWolf]

Commutiing is the pits! That graphic looks like me. LOL

[SAMWolf]

Thanks Radu. They don't make them like Bob Hope anymore.

Snippy's Vacation continued;

Monday July 14

Today was our first planned full day trip. SAM packed a picnic lunch and dinner, made a huge thermos full of coffee, and picked me up early as usual. We headed off to what SAM calls the Mt. Hood loop, through the falls and around the entire mountain.



We even went to the lodge on top of the mountain. We stopped at many of the falls along the way, got wet, hiked a lot, laughed a lot and had a really great day. Also along the 'loop' we stopped and toured Bonneville dam.

Somewhere along the drive, later in the day we were driving in the Hood River Valley and stopped for a picnic dinner, it is so quiet around these mountains, wonderful silence. Then we went up to the small town of Parkdale, parked by the train tracks and walked to a local ice cream shop and had giant waffle cones filled with yummy chocolate ice cream. mmmmm!

God Bless Bob Hope! To all the Veterans that remember him, this is for you!

[snippy_about_it]

Thank you Mojo.

[MoJo2001]

Not a problem. The monitor gets watery looking at the pictures and then listening to his song.

[snippy_about_it]

Sure does.

[SAMWolf]

Thanks Mojo.
