Good Morning Firefly, The sheep is Riley (life of Riley) and the HORSE is Kalif because he's Arabian. He's old and like most Arabians, not tall.

Happy Mother's Day to you too. Thank you for thinking of me.

The picture is of me in 1994 at my school when I was still working. One year after Mud and I got married. What a difference a few years make.

Hello: are you near those fires. It is sad so much is lost to fire. If your are not near it, your eyes burn. Hope you are far enough away it is not affecting you. What happened to your food problem?

Nice hearing from you. Sorry to hear about your accident. Food can be very slippery if you hit it just right. Good luck with your claim and your health. Do you have an apartment in Mexico with your favorite----. Any good news there for that individual's move in right direction? The saga here to what happened at the marathon has been ongoing. The Russians warned the FBI about the older brother. This is the second time they were warned. Same thing happened with 9/11. Talk to you soon.

Good Morning Thank you. I was an officer for 26 yrs & retired now. I know we need to be safety minded but I also know many cities and counties need the "All Mighty Dollar" and unfortunately they do what they can to get more. I see you love birds also. I have an African Gray that is about 30 yrs old. My kids and grand kids will inherit her someday.

Haven't heard from you for sometime. Hope you are ok. You probably read the news about the Boston Marathan. Was real scary. I take my students for driving tests in Watertown where the battle between police and bombers. All is quiet now. Regards.

The cold is almost gone. We're going home early Saturday morning. We're catching a taxi to the airport at 4 a.m. Wake up call is at 3:30.

My leg is much better. We walked to the harbor tonight and had dinner there. Walking back was OK. NO MORE PAIN. We still have a cold. This, too, shall pass.

I'm hanging in there. My left leg is still swollen. Mud had to walk to WalMart today to buy food. We just took a walk along the beach. It was nice and cool. The sun has set.
