Playing with the puppy.
Well… he’s just over a year old, but still a youngster.
He makes me laugh & brings me joy.
What did you name the little ankle-biter, if you care to share?
I did not name him, the ladies at the dog pound did & he was responding to that so I figured why confuse the poor pup?
I would share his name but I am always concerned with keeping my true identity secret so that left wing nutcases can’t target me (the same reason I won’t give any info on exactly where I live or the car I drive & no facebook… no clues).
I know, I know, I’m paranoid….but you know the old saying, “Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you!”
(I would’ve named him Ares).
Morning coffee, hands down; preferably on the front porch.
When I get up in the morning and my cat is greeting me with a meow, followed by loud
purring.
Unrelated to this question, but I was watching the arrival of the President, and First Lady to Windsor Castle on C-SPAN and the British Guardsmen band played several American and British national songs. One of the songs they played was our National Anthem, and I thought
it was funny because that song is from the War of 1812, and celebrates the battle of Baltimore where we kicked their butt.
Yeah, but:
Key appropriated a British drinking song called “To Anacreon in Heaven,” and added the words of his poem “Defence of Fort McHenry,” to create the “Star Spangled Banner!”
The first verse of the original song went thusly:
<cite>To Anacreon in Heav’n, where he sat in full Glee,
A few Sons of Harmony sent a Petition,
That he their Inspirer and Patron would be;
When this answer arriv’d from the Jolly Old Grecian
“Voice, Fiddle, and Flute,
“no longer be mute,
“I’ll lend you my Name and inspire you to boot,
“And, besides I’ll instruct you, like me, to intwine
“The Myrtle of Venus with Bacchus’s Vine.“</cite>
So, we seem to be giving the British the new and improved version of their song.
Prayer.
When the stock market goes up or bills that come in is less than expected (which isn’t very often)
My family, whether it be my daughter, my son, or my beautiful wife. Hell even my dog. Once I see them all worries fade!!!!
Getting up early, could be 2AM – 4AM.
It’s my quite time to sort out and plan the day.
I’m a little bit OCD & ADD and need focus.
Some mornings I’ll make baked goods.
My hubby sure likes waking up to those morning, …. 🙂
When the crazy moron who just sped past me at 95mph is pulled over by Johnny Law 2 miles ahead. It happens a lot on Hwy 24 (the speeding part; the pulling over part is rare, but extremely satisfying)
