How cool are these real roses!

One of the ladies from the next card table received them tonight and let me take a picture.

If you are like me and need to know how they did it check this out

I really love it when Harrison hops up on the bench beside me. There's usually a kiss and then he tries to look as cool as he possibly can while wearing a pink harness and sitting beside a human wearing a large camera and ear phones trying to take selfies with him.

Poor guy, but it really does mean he's very relaxed. I've tried a lot of different harnesses lately and this style of harness feels the most secure. The old red one was loosening just from him turning temper tantrum turtles on the sidewalk. I promise to look for a different color for him Maureen.

We were grateful for the cooler weather today. It meant I could just follow him around and let him sit or go wherever he wanted to while I listened to Robert Altman's biography. He did a thorough drug sniffing test on a white car today. Especially the tire rims and under the front bumper. I go for my own walk first so I'm not so impatient. Having a bit of champagne so just went around the building once today. Ha ha that would be shin pain Siri. Champagne would probably be limiting too.

Tonight we played this:

And this:

Then we discovered cat-tube!

So much better!

Harrison is currently underneath my chair and just reached up and tickled my back through the chair. I swear he has a sense of humour.

This awesome picture was made by my niece Melissa:

Happy back-to-school everyone!

I'm a little from column A and a little from column B. I can handle the fact that cats apparently spell funny, but I still can't help noticing the unintentional your you're problem. I have a feeling I will just have to get over that. And it's not just kids that do it either. Maybe we should all just devolve to ur.

I still think we should use punctuation sometimes. Tonight a friend of my friend wrote under a picture of her and her sister: "Very nice a long time since I have seen you guys looking good."

I don't think that's what she meant.

Long weekend means poker night at my brother's. The snacking started out with smoothie shots. Nothing too outrageously healthy in them that I know of besides fruit. That's not always the case!

I had a Super Jim (three 3's) and 4 sevens at one point but went out 3rd last.

Henry prevailed in the end...

though Grampa Jim probably wouldn't have gone all in on the cards he had if Olivia hadn't been so sleepy!

Gotta love a last minute call to cards!

Marcia brought out some old pictures they came across recently. A real find as I'd not seen these in a very long time if ever. Henry will scan them better but I took some shots with my iPod. I wasn't around yet in these days so don't look for me!

Henry's the oldest born in 1950. See if you can see Cooper.

There's baby Al, the spitting image of his sons when they were babies:

Today's walk. Getting a bit tired of the humid weather, looking forward to fall!

Kiwi and Harrison touched noses briefly, sad that I missed it.

A very frequent visitor at my door these days:

Let's pretend that's a filter not dirty window.
