Good morning! Welcome to "Pure Florida" aka "Sunshine State"!
I could think of a few more names for our state thanks to that idiot we have to call governor. His latest brainless thing is that before he leaves office, he wants to pass a law where anyone can carry a gun without a permit! Talk about the wild, wild west! Like there's not enough shootings in Florida already. This jerk wants to have everyone armed, eo if you anger someone, they can just pull out their gun and shoot you. Brilliant, huh? 
Dave - Thanks for explaining about Kathi's implant procedure. Now it makes more sense. Enjoy having the grandkids over today. Isn't it wonderful when they are old enough to help with chores. That gives you and Kathi a break. So what delicious fast food did the kids decide they wanted?
Kathy - Thanks for the in depth explanation of where "Pure Michigan" came from.
Bill - Been watching any of the NFL draft? I watched a little of it, but it was the first day when things were so dragged out. You get dandelions in spring. We get clover. Both are very good for feeding bees.
Karen - That's pretty generous what you want to pay that first contractor. I still haven't made those blueberry muffins.
Nancy - I know you told us, but remind me again ... when is your trip to Alaska?
Lee - Any new shipments of squirrels arrive today at the Navy Yard? We've got them all over here right now, but many of them will be eaten by the eagles before they get too big. How's that for controlling the squirrel population?
We haven't heard from G&E, but assume they closed on the house yesterday. Their one son is going to get the riot act read to him when he comes home. He was supposed to take the dogs our after school and before he headed off to work. We weren't home at the time, but we assumed he did take them out. Then he was to take them out when he came home last night. We went to bed before he came home. I woke up this morning to the sound of the 2 dogs crying. I had to wake Bert up to take the dogs out, Needless to say, he was not a happy camper. Boy, were those dogs doing the "pee-pee" dance in their eagerness to get outside. You would have thought that SOMEONE would have called us yesterday to ask Bert to take the dogs out!
Time now for me to write up a shopping list for what we need for dinner tonight. We never got the steaks the other night, so tonight Bert will be grilling 8 filet mignons. I'll fix the baked potatoes and make the fried peppers & onions while the fresh Florida corn on the cob is cooking. Also planning a nice bottle of wine to go with dinner. How's that for a Saturday night dinner.
Have a super day, everyone! Do something fun!
