Morning scuttlebutt..Can you find us some good ole Willie to accompany this photo? Now this is a picnic I would love to attend some day....

This photo is from 1998...Did he have his annual picnic this year in Luchenback? Anxiously awaiting report or photos here.....

Nice report and nice rescue - just tremendous. Thanks. ;-)

I realize that some of us had our Friday on Weds. this week; but not all....For those who did not:

There it is...good job !!

Freedom Is Worth Fighting For !!

Molon Labe !!

Billie, I hear a lot of booms and I see a lot of flashes in the sky. Is this part of our terrorist warning, or is something else going on tonight?

Did you survive the night? Still got all your toes?

[Billie]

Daisy and MB, your goodnight graphics are just the sweetest, cutest things. I just say 'night - gotta go, and you two post these beautiful goodnight graphics! Who says you can't hire good help anymore?!

MORNING, ALL - almost noon here! Hope everyone continues to drop in and out for the next couple of days!

[Billie]

Nice to see you today, viligant!

[Billie]

Oh boy! That Cajun music has a beat all it's own! Thanks! Hello, friends!

[Vigilantcitizen]

Nice to see you too, Ms. Billie.

Ms. VC and I are about to walk out the door on our way to an all night 4th celebration with some close friends. So, we'll holler back at ya tomorrow evening.

Have a great weekend.

[Mama_Bear]

Good morning, Billie. I am late getting here. It's going to be kind of a quiet lazy day, I think. I'm going to try to get a few things done outside before it gets too hot. I think I am already too late. LOL.

Hope everyone continues to drop in and out for the next couple of days!

So do I. Maybe some will come and tell us how they celebrated the 4th of July. :-)

[Mama_Bear]

Who says you can't hire good help anymore?!

LOL! Okay, so when do I get my raise?

You know, there is something about bears in hats. I just love them. :-)

[ohioWfan]

Good morning.....oops, afternoon.....to you too, Billie!

We had a few storms last night, and woke up to lower temperatures and humidity! It's GREAT!

Mr. Ohio is too frugal (better word, cheap) to get central air, so this is very important to me. LOL!)

[ST.LOUIE1]

Hate to break it to you Arne....I'm a Dodger fan.

Hey, man, I really respect your loyalty in hanging with that perpetually XXXXXX team. ;^)

Thanks. Had to 'bleep' ya! LOL!

The Dodgers do EVERYTHING well this year. They move runners, they take extra bases, they find two out hits from their no. 8 hitter to plate men from 2nd and 3rd.
Their catcher hits SECOND! Lots of good pitching from the Land of the Rising Sun.

And they've finally found a manager who can manage.

...Steve Garvey making kids out of wedlock like ringing a bell. Vin Scully's new, NATURAL hair style.

LOL Yeah, but I think Garvey's settled down....maybe not.
Vinny could do with a ;lift'.

Good times friend.

The best!

[ST.LOUIE1]

C'mere.......scratch, scratch. Now be a good boy. ;)

Can't promise, but....

....your scratchin' the ears IS a nice incentive. : )

[ST.LOUIE1]

What a doting godfather you are......not to worry....my sweet Georgio gets lots of TLC from his Mom.

Oh, I know that. : )

BTW we both love this graphic you made!

Thank you, cutie. : )

[ST.LOUIE1]

Not to intrude on your baseball chat but I was a Dodger fan (as a child) when they were still in Brooklyn ....
(If you are too young & missed those wonderful days read 'The Boys of Summer").

Wow! Bet you have some great memories of Da Bums!

I've read the book, plus - saw a documentary not too long ago.

I'd love to have seen Campy, the Duke, Furillo etc, in person.

GOOD MORNINGAFTERNOON TO ALL!

One of the hands was griping this morning about having to work on the Fourth.
I said, "Do you feel good this morning."
He: "Yeah." I said, "Okay, then feel sorry for those poor souls who were off yesterday, ate too much bar-b-que and drank too much beer. They feel like hammered dog poop this morning!"

[ST.LOUIE1]

You know, Mama_Bears little merry bears might jump us, but
.... Mama_Bear wouldn't. She's too sweet to be violent. : )

Awwww ...... thank you, Louie. No, this bear isn't likely to jump anyone
.... unless they try to take my flag away, then watch out! LOL! :-)

We've been warned! LOL!

[ST.LOUIE1]

Oh, and another thing, ...
it would probably be a good idea to keep your paws off of my cookies too. ;-)

MY PAWS!!! *You're* the cookie thief! LOL
