Just took our dog Caleb outside for his morning stroll. I enjoy walking in the morning grass, barefooted, good way to start the day. August 12 and the grass was damp and cool with morning dew, mid August. Moisture on the windshield of our car, the state fair is over, football games are starting, Fall is not far away. Where did the Summer go?
How is it that Obama is able to fly all over the country in AF One, and campaign, at our expense. Must cost us a fortune. I would think his campaigning should be paid for by his campaign.
Paul Ryan, know nothing about him except that he is a fly fisherman. Fly fisherman are unique. They are focused, very focused. Not everyone can use a fly rod, takes practice and a special sort of person. I never met a fly fisherman I didn't like. Is that a great recommendation, or not?
The Olympics is drawing to a close. Another four years has come and gone. Another great event ruined, for me, be television. One Olympian promised a little five year old girl, who is ill, with I think Cystic Fibrosis, that if she won a medal she would sell her medal, and give the money to the little girl to help with her medical bills. She won Gold, and she is. Now that, to me, is a great story. I hope someone steps forward and gives that child some money so the Olympian can keep her medal.
Nice heart warming story. A Mother and her Son shoplifted over a million dollars from CVS stores by filling boxes with high priced items, and then paying the small price on the box. They hoped to steal money in all fifty states, and he was saving money, from the thefts, to take his Mother to Hawaii. Goal oriented folks. Wonder what she wanted him to steal and gave her for Mother's Day?
Still on our Low Salt, Low Sugar diet. Learning to love pasta and fresh veggies. The good news, still losing weight. Did have a few setbacks this week, bought a loaf of "white bread" and had some cheese sandwiches, a few with peanut butter also.
Learned this. When you go to a "fast food" place, order french fries with NO SALT. They put some in the basket, deep fry them, take them out and put them in your container. They are fresh and hot, and, I must admit, I don't miss the salt that much. But, fresh, hot fries.
