I thought having George W. as president would be bad (even disastrous as it turns out) — but omg, Sarah Palin? My opinion of John McCain went down the toilet with that choice.
The best thing of all is that it will be over in less than a week. The bad news, it won’t be Hillary as president. We had a possible guaranteed great president. Now, well, we’ll wait and see.

I never thought it would come… and then it did. The windows are open and the air conditioning and fans are off. It feels like home, like an old familiar pair of shoes that I would prefer to wear all year but only wear for a few months here in south Texas.
There have never been as many butterflies as this year. The white crowned sparrows and meadow larks are back. That is not to say that I don’t love the painted buntings, but they come with the heavy price of hot, humid, dry summers.

Just finished watching this lovely 1956 Cannes Grand Prix Festival winner. What a delightful film… I think I need to watch it every year. It was uplifting, made me laugh out loud, gave me awe, and suspended my disbelief. Film doesn’t get any better than this. And it’s simplicity is it’s most charming feature.

One leg crossed over the other. The pale, pink complextion. Complete blissful reclined position. Jean Harlow? No it is the Petey dog. The conumbrum of him never ceases to amaze me. He can kill a cat, skunk, wasp, scorpion and not pause for more than a couple of minutes. But in complete recline, he is a cross between Jean Harlow and an angel. It must be the similar feelings that mothers have when they look at their “terrible twos” after a completely draining day and think “How can this little monster look like such an angel at this moment.” God must love them all.

They are pretty incredible as emotional stimulus. This one was pretty terrific. On contemplating the life I have, my appreciation of my mother increases exponentially year-by-year. It is a blessing that I have so much left to learn from her (age 85) and she is healthy and rigorous enough to continue to teach me. I am truly blessed. Especially with the friends and coworkers that continue to keep in touch and won’t let me forget them! It makes me feel valued and blessed for such wonderful coworkers and friends. (and if this sounds maudling (sp?) — so be it.)
