Hi Paul,

Sometimes it is just very nice to kick back and not have anything of importance to do.  Finn and I are taking advantage of this beautiful day ~ sunny, just perfect with a temperature of 64 degrees.  We have taken to the patio and are watching our new bird feeder……our small feathered friends are checking the new one out!

Happy Memorial Day week-end.   Susan

Finn had his yachting cut yesterday (looks a bit shorn) but he will feel so much cooler this summer!!  I hope you and your family have plans this week-end.  Bronwen lost her first tooth yesterday and Daddy was out of town so I was invited over to spend the night.  Too fun

Happy Memorial Day.  Susan

Dear Kitty,

Hope you are enjoying this week-end.  Beautiful weather here.  Finn and I are enjoying the patio.  Jim’s brother is coming over for dinner ~ so best I get cooking…… LOL.  Susan

Had a very nice day today with my sister and mom. Lunch at Apple B’s, visited the cemetery and spent an hour or so at the fire pit at my house. Many closed streets for parades, so lots of detours. Tried to send a picture but it didn’t work. To all~~enjoy Memorial Day and all the family togetherness.

Good morning all.  48 here, about 10 degrees warmer than yesterday morning.  Finn looks comfy.  Hope he has

a great Summer.  Our Chloe and Belle have short hair. 

I don't have any plans for the weekend either but it's nice weather and we're enjoying it.  We cleaned off the table

in the pool area yesterday, it's gotten piled up with stuff.  I need to scrub it with a brush. 

Think I have the SS running half way decent, can tweek it as the Summer goes by.  Will drive it down to the farm

Wednesday.  Supposed to mow the area where brother is going to bury his wife's ashes.  Have the Allis Chalmers

and it's brush hog so will be fairly easy.  I will go down a few days later when they actually do the funeral but isn't

a formal funeral, just a burial.  Will ride the bike then, can't afford to take the SS down that often, burns a lot of 

premium gas.  I will probably mow the lawn around the farm house with the little John Deere, will take a while.

I just sent my daughter a happy anniversary card for her 15th year of not smoking, she quit about 13 months

after me.  Happy for her, she had a stroke in her 20s, doesn't need the poison smoke in her life.  

Hope Kitty has her treatment plan in place and works well.

Have a great day all.

Good morning, all,

Nice weather here also.  It's Fleet Week every Memorial weekend, so a few thousand sailors, marines, coast guard visit. Some of the ships are open to the public for tours. Pretty nice.

Enjoy the day,

Paul

Love your pool plantings!  Kudos to your wife!  Susan

Enjoy the ships!    Have the Tall Ships ever visited NYC?    God Bless all who have served!   Susan

How blessed you are to have your Mother. I lost mine to cancer in 1972 ~.      Flags are flying. We are off to Mass and then a convertible ride and a hike with Finn!  Susan

It was interesting. I went on the USS Wasp, an amphibious assault boat.  It was pretty big. 

The Tall Ships have been here a few times that I remember. Last time was 2012 for the Star-Spangled Banner bicentennial. Before that our Millenium, and 1992 for Columbus. Maybe other times.
