Evening...

Overheard...

...as this gal in her late teens strolled by in the store last night while we were grocery shopping: "Hey, Mom, I found our two favorite men!"

Yeah, "Ben" and "Jerry"...

Argghh...

Ya' know, I can handle the relatively limited connectivity issue. ...but when the handle broke on the espresso machine a little bit ago, that did put me at my limit.

There are definitely vise grips in my future...

Yes, it's late...

Any thoughts on that?

The Thursday Threesome...

Onesome: Yankee- Hey, this is the 4th of July weekend here in the States; do you have any plans? Fireworks? Watching the Boston Pops? Hiding under the bed with the dog? "Hey!", back! We're already over on the coast and ready to kick back and watch some fireworks once we're tired of boogie boarding in the surf! Ummm... That would be the boys and me in the surf; Shelley will be reading a book (likely one on shark attacks <g>!).

Twosome: Doodle- Is there any paper safe from you, or are you a doodler? If you are, when are you most likely to doodle and what do you draw? Oh, man, I used to be! ...especially my notebooks from high school and college; they were covered with all sorts of stuff. Now? Nah, I try to stay paperless...

Threesome: Dandee- Or dandy. It's one of my favorite words. How about you, do you have any favorite words that you like to use, just because you like the way they sound or just because you can? Hmmm... I'm surprised! I can't really think of any at the moment. I'm sure someone will remind me after they read this...

How about you? What are you up to? Let us know, over on The Back Porch...

California...

Yep, this is a recycling center built into a "container" storage system. The artwork is just fantastic; the perspective work really gives a nice 3-D effect to your basic "box"...
