THE COLORS OF LIFE

Spring has sprung

The grass has riz

where last year's

careless drivers is.

CONSTRUCTION

Sporadic work on the house next door continues though I think the workmen are part-time friends of the family because they're not there every day and obviously have other jobs.

But when they ARE there . . .

. . . the Queen's Quarters continue to look more like a place to live.

Some day.

THE FRIDAY FUNNIES

I don't know about you but my Fridays seem to roll around faster and faster these days.

As a prelude, I have to tell you that a group of eight oldsters from years of work at Channel 12 in Phoenix had another gathering at the Rock Springs Cafe yesterday.

It was crowded, we didn't get seated for a very long time and our lunches took even longer but there was plenty of good conversation, laughs and a little sadness as we remembered our colleagues who had passed.

But with that out of the way, let's get on to the business of the day.

Let's be bold, Gentle Readers, get out there and enjoy yourselves and please do have a fantastic weekend.

And always remember to keep laughing.

Here, kitty-kitty . . .

EATING HEALTHY

I called Tom and Lana the other night to ask how far they were from the Pacific and Lana said she couldn't hold the phone because she had pear juice on her hands.

She said, "Those pictures you post of all those delicious looking desserts and I give Tom a pear!"

So I thought I'd show her (and all of you) that we do occasionally eat healthy.

Like last night.

Avocado, cucumber, tomato and onion salad.

And bean soup.

Once again . . .

Salad . . .

. . . and soup.

Oh, and corn muffins.

SHADOWED

Our backyard totem and its shadow.

As the sun moves around through the day the shadow becomes sharper.

And I'm out in the yard with my camera, singing "Me and My Shadow".

No.

You don't want to hear it.

By the way, if you want to see a beautiful yard, take a look at what Tom's wife, Lana, has created on the Central California coast.

Lana's Green Thumb

The garden follows Tom's political chatter in his post.

WONDER WOMAN

If you're expecting a picture of Lynda Carter, you're in the wrong place.

This is my Wonder Woman.

That is the Beautiful Rich Daughter.

In the top photo she's finishing a DC Wonder Woman 5-K run in Tempe, Arizona yesterday morning.

You see her time in the bottom photo.

And later it shows that in her first race ever, she finished 24th in her age category.

I won't tell you her age but suffice it to say that she has a mile marker birthday very near.

It should also go to say that in spite of health problems with a foot and with her vision over the past year or two she was still smiling when this adventure was over.

And that hunk of a medal hanging around her neck?

She said it weighed about a pound.

You might be able to tell, her mother and I are quite proud of her.
