Friday we went to Shelton Vineyards, one of my favorite spots, for lunch.

Remember the fosters? Well they're now the permanent fosters. No longer Shrek and Fiona, the HH has renamed them Louie and Maisy. Louie is technically Lieutenant Stubby, in honor of Captain Stubby:) Their access to the entire house is limited till Frank deems it so.

 

 

But we are making progress. He stood them for about twenty minutes yesterday, till  he figured he'd had enough. Here's a pic of them all 'bird watching'. Heh. You have to look closely to see Louie. He's behind one of the chairs.

 

AND

Look at this little cutie. Our vet's assist is a wildlife rehaber. She takes in baby orphans and hurt creatures and when they're ready releases them back into the wilds. 

AND from California

This little guy is wearing a snoot-full of birdseed.

 AND

I'll leave you with a couple of garden pics. YOU, have a great week. 

July Fourth

~*~

So we went to see the fireworks Saturday night as we do every fourth of July weekend.   We park about three minutes from our house and afterwards zip home.  This year the city, in its infinite wisdom, decided to block off the roads and herd the cars in a specific direction.  Who'd have thought a town with a population of less than twenty-six thousand could be so congested.  It took us nearly half an hour to get home. You could see headlights for miles.  Bah Humbug.



We saw Tarzan yesterday.  The HH loved it.  I was a bit more ambivalent.  It was good but didn't quite meet my expectations.   I did thoroughly enjoy Samuel Jackson's character. He  did a great job:)
