Ah, yes…July is summertime in full swing…dog days of summer run from July 3-August 1th, everybody’s going camping, so much going on! Today is Teddy Bear Picnic day, and I found a couple of pics that just say it all.

I don’t know what it is…but it’s GOOOOOD!

Then there’s this one. They picked him to get the drinks for the picnic. It had me reminiscing about my teen years… This was actually a little cub that wandered into a store in Lake Tahoe. Courtesy of FoxNews. Can’t you just hear him?

Oh, one last one. Are you ready? Thanks to Waggle TV.

First, shouting out Happy Birthday, Sis! Sorry, it’s a day late. I love you, though, JM! Hope your day was filled to overflowing with all things beautiful, and with wonderful memories. Hugs and kisses to ya by the tons!

Okay now, let’s get down to business. I keep hearing all this stuff about lazy homeless people. It’s starting to bother me just a little, because I’m homeless…but, I am not lazy! There happen to be some very hard working and enterprising homeless people out there. I talked to some guys just the other night, who were on their way to their spot. They were loaded down with bags of stuff. I said, “Wow, you guys are loaded down! Where’d you get all that stuff?” “It’s our pay for lifting shops,” they replied. I never realized the desert sands make the buildings shift like that; so they have to be lifted.

I’ve worked on my crafts the last few days. I’m making some halter tops, and a hat. I’d like to participate in a couple of Farmer’s Market events this year, and maybe even some First Friday events. But, crafts isn’t my only enterprise. I also write (as you can see), and I’m planning on going into the hospitality business. I’m going to buy an extra tarp and one of those portable and rechargeable evaporative coolers. Then, I’m going to rent it out at night to the homeless. See, some of us are business minded, and work very hard!

As some of you may know, I come from a state where there is no sales tax. I say this because I recently purchased underwear for a friend of mine (I was running an errand for him). Boy, oh boy! First, I could not believe the purchase price for men’s underwear at some stores. They’re much more expensive than ours, ladies. What really got me, though, is that there is a sales tax on underwear. At first, I thought it was just a Las Vegas thing. You know, “Sin City,” so, if you want to wear underwear in this town, you’re gonna pay for it”, kind of thinking. But, when I researched this, I found out that only three states fully exempt clothing from sales tax. Some of the rest exempt some clothing, but tax other clothing. But, really, underwear?! C’mon now. That needs to be exempt. I mean, granted, one can choose to go “commando,” but there are times and places when that just doesn’t work. For instance, what if I’m standing over a subway grate in NYC? What if I’m wearing a dress that day?! OMG! Can you just see that?! Yeah…hmmmmmmm. Marilyn Monroe did that, and that’s how her dress got blown up around her hips, and it became an iconic photo! Thank goodness she was wearing undies. LOL Bit of trivia for you, in case you didn’t know. I love Marilyn Monroe!

Boy, oh boy! June is filled with observances and events! This is Aquarium month, and the first week of this June is fishing week. I thought, “that would be a great way to get rid of a trouble maker, you know. Take them fishing at the Shark Reef over at Mandalay Bay.” LOL June 2nd was the anniversary of my High School graduation. 44 years ago I graduated high school. Interestingly enough, June 2nd was also Rocky Road Day. It was a rocky road to graduation. Today is National Trails Day. I was reminded of a hike I went on with my first husband, while we were just dating. I did okay, but my little feet were sure hurting after all that hiking and climbing (thank God there wasn’t too much of that) in those three inch heels I was wearing. LOL He said I was a champ. I thought, “yeah, and you’re a chump for not telling me we were going hiking.” LOL

Well, I have an update on my recovery from that attack. They said the stress caused me to develop Shingles, in my eye, and on the inside of my head, -Yes, you can get Internal Shingles. Sure, why not me, Lord? LOL

Anyway, I also had to see an ophthalmologist to make sure it cleared up, didn’t damage my eye. Everything is fine, I’m happy to report. One more day on the drops and I should be good to go. That trip to the eye doctor was an adventure. They dilate your eyes for the exam, and afterward, you’re almost blind in the sunlight, and things are blurry. I had a heck of a time finding the bus stop! I wasn’t sure I’d gone the right direction; and, of course, the bus stop sign was about 13 feet off the ground, on that pole. I saw some writing on what I thought might something having to do with the bus. I couldn’t read it with my shades on, and when I took them off, it almost vanished. I got as close to the thing as I could and tried to make out the letters. That poor man! He almost shouted, “Hey, watch it lady! Back up, and get your nose out of my shirt, will ya?!” I said, “Oh, I’m so sorry; I was trying to read the bus stop sign, but I can’t see very well right now. Is this where the bus stop is?” He kind of grunted, “Yes; the bus will be here in three minutes.” I was going to tell him his shirt smelled nice, but I thought better of it.

Happy Birthday, Bubba! Your mama sure does love ya! You make life worth living for me! I hope your day is fabulously awesome, filled with everything wonderful, tons of love and laughter, and beautiful memories! Love you so much! Mommy!

My goodness, I cannot believe I’m surviving this horrible attack ordeal! Thankfully, the E.R. team was awesome, once the clowning was done. I don’t know how they deal with some of the people that come iin there.

I was a little confused about the eye drops thing. The nurse told me to put them in every two hours when I’m awake…but she didn’t say how often I should put them in when I’m asleep.

I’m also taking a new medication for a week. When I read the side effects, I got a little fearful. “Notify your physician if you lose consciousness,” it says. “OMG!” I thought. Are they serious?! Do you know that I won’t be able to call my physician when I’m unconscious?! I took the first dose just the other night, but I don’t know if I lost consciousness or just fell asleep, cuz, it was at night, at bedtime.

I hate being a patient, I just hate it! Now I don’t know if my head hurts because of the injury, or because of all this thinking I’m having to do!

I heard a couple of people on the bus recently, discussing the Marijauna legalization and some of the problems we have now due to that. One lady said, “They’re smoking that weed everywhere now! They don’t care where they’re at when they do! You can’t go anywhere and you smell it!” Her male friend said, “I know; you don’t even have to buy it anymore. Just walk by somebody smoking it; you can get high for free!”

I thought to myself, “Boy that’s true! The other day, some guys were on the corner by the dispensary, smoking their weed. I said, “Excuse me three times to the same tree there. It’s a good thing that when I went by the fourth time, I noticed it was a tree; I was beginning to think I had a stalker!”

“Have you talked to your mother lately,” my brother asked his wife? “Yes,” replied my sister-in-law. “As a matter of fact, she’s coming to dinner tonight. What made you think of her,” my sister in law asked. “Today is National Windmill Day,” replied my brother. LOL ! I hear he’s coming to spend a couple of weeks in town with us.

Hmm…on this day, in 1908, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Murdock became the first to travel across the country in a car. They traveled in a Packard, from LA to New York City. It took them 32 days, 5 hours and 25 minutes. Today is also Pig in a blanket day. What does one have to do with the other? Well, as I’ve said before, I’m an Army brat, and my family did some travelling. I was just thinking, and thanking God, I didn’t have to spend more than, oh, probably seven or eight days on the road with my brother and four sisters…the little pigs in a blanket. LOL And, speaking of pets, we traveled from Virginia to Montana with a poodle and a parakeet-all in that old station wagon. Now, can you imagine doing that in this old Packard? It’s a 1908 Packard Model 30. OMG! That box on the back is NOT big enough to put a kid in! Thank God for whoever invented the trunk. I never did go back and find the sandal I lost on that trip.

This pic is from classicdriver.com. Thanks to them for sharing. I love old cars, by the way!

Today is the first day of International Wildlife Week. It’s actually almost a month-long event, running through May 15th. Those of you who know me, know that I love birds. In honor of them…I thought I’d share this video with you.
