Good morning, everyone! With that snippet of TX trivia it makes us wonder why the architect designed it that way?
9:37 am on April 15th, 2015
Good Morning!! Mom just saw the pics of Melanie posted last night. What wonderful pictures and memories of a very special, talented person. And she would love the picture of River and Dan the dog!

What is the significance of the south view?
Happy Birthday Rio/Friend.
Good morning all.

We plan to blur a cake and balloons to Rio’s house so they are there when Friend returns home from work. First, we have to, er, procure said items.
Happy Birthday, Friend!!!!

Whilst we wait for the Thieves to Blurr their Cake South this evening we can snack on these:
A Grumble of Pug Cakes
10:25 am on April 15th, 2015
Thieves, how thoughtful of y’all a blurred b-day party!
ALR, looks like “your” mountain has gotten some nice snow lately 🙂

Wishing the happiest of birthdays to the friend of Riõ TEP and Beau the Good (although Riõ is claiming this special day as his).
10:40 am on April 15th, 2015
Happy Birthday, hope your day is special.

Yes, HOH, they are skiing and snowboarding in several inches of powder snow today on Mt. Hood, and undoubtedly thinking that life is GOOD!
Also, when I checked the web cams for my favorite place, Yellowstone National Park, they are in the midst of an almost blizzard! They say if you haven’t been snowed on in Yellowstone every month of the year you are not really trying. But they really needed it this year.
Blessings to all Chet’s friends today and happy birthday to Rio’s friend!
11:48 am on April 15th, 2015
Abbie: My Window Face the South…Heh, heh Only You would be able to come up with something like this!
(whispering) I’ll bet you had some help from Mr.Fireslippers)

Hi, Rose and ALR!
12:06 pm on April 15th, 2015
Good day. We are having computer issues, so Mom drove to the big office. Boo
Nice, happy/sad photos last evening.
Happy Birthday to the Friend.
12:27 pm on April 15th, 2015
Happy birthday, Rio & Friend!!
12:30 pm on April 15th, 2015
Thieves! Can you possibly also pick up the case of Korbel Natural sitting on my porch and blur that over as well? Conan, Edgar and Pretty will be arriving later when they’re out of “sampling” range (and should not have tastes, no matter what they say I said).
Happy Birthday to Rio’s friend.
RIP Percy Sledge.
12:33 pm on April 15th, 2015
Sigh. I should have known the reference was to “that” music. Thank you Abbie.
12:33 pm on April 15th, 2015
Wose! No dark holes! No! How about a facial and a strengtheing glass (or seven) of champagne? I can blur the champagne over (with some aspirin for later)…
How about an economics joke to cheer you? (OK this may take a while to think up…)
12:34 pm on April 15th, 2015
Wose! What do you call a thousand economists locked in a room together and away from access to all media? (Answer–An excellent start!)
12:35 pm on April 15th, 2015
I just found out that the BBC is producing a brief series titled, “Living in Squares,” about the Bloomsbury Group. Fun!
12:56 pm on April 15th, 2015
Happy Birthday to Rio’s Friend! The Rockies need to win the game for her tonight. Timmy is pitching for the Giants. Unless his pitching improves, he is no longer to be feared.
Tupper, Thank you for the lovely pictures of our friend. I always thought she looked so beautiful in that purple dress.
1:04 pm on April 15th, 2015
Abbie, I like the song. There is also a video there of Glen Campbell playing the William Tell Overture on acoustic guitar…amazing.
Bear, Cute pug cakes.
1:05 pm on April 15th, 2015
B your music comment is cracking me up.
The Chattanooga Lookout have their opening home game tonight. Let’s see if being owned by the twins helps them any. That comment is for Mr. fire slippers.

An economics joke –
A man walking in the countryside comes across a shepherd and a huge flock of sheep. He says to the shepherd, “I will bet you $100 against one of your sheep that I can tell you the exact number of animals you have here.” The shepherd thinks it over; it’s a big flock so he takes the bet. “973,” says the man. The shepherd is astonished, because that is exactly right. Says “OK, I’m a man of my word, take a sheep.” Man picks one up and begins to walk away.
“Wait,” cries the shepherd, “Let me have a chance to get even. Double or nothing that I can guess your exact occupation.”
Feeling smug, the man agrees. “You are an economist for a government think tank,” says the shepherd. “Amazing!” responds the man, “You are exactly right! But tell me, how did you deduce that?”
“Well,” says the shepherd, “first, put down my dog and I will tell you.”
(ok, no one said economists were a laugh riot)
1:20 pm on April 15th, 2015
Tupper’s Mama: LOL. the Nation Within finds that Very Funny!
DianeC: I like your joke too 🙂
2:28 pm on April 15th, 2015
Love the jokes, and also the music. Bee, doesn’t it just make you want’a get up and dance?
Notice they spelled Glen Campbell’s name wrong!
2:30 pm on April 15th, 2015
Barb: Dancing is not what that music makes me want to do….
2:53 pm on April 15th, 2015
Happy Birthday Rio & Friend 🙂
3:09 pm on April 15th, 2015
Birthday!…Wow! So many birthday wishes from all of youse…snorkel!…You are far too kind. When I blow out my candles tonight I will be wishing for an Amazon Gift Card to cover all the new books I need to order…heh!heh!
3:19 pm on April 15th, 2015
Tupper’s mama, we are rolling on the floor laughing triple chocolate turtle. Ha?
Where did that come from?
3:22 pm on April 15th, 2015
Tupper’s Mama–I actually heard that one in church, but it was a private economic consultant with the following modification.
The farmer replies “First, you came without being summoned; second, you wanted to charge me for information I already had; and third, you know nothing whatsoever about my business, now will you please give my dog back?”
Also, thanks for yesterday’s pictures which I only just now got around to viewing.

B. Stover–Bloomsbury!!!Here’s a photo of three of them (although you may have to paste this into your browser) with economist John Maynard Keynes dead center…

Blukat: A beautiful bouquet.
Diane: I like your link.
3:52 pm on April 15th, 2015
Diane C. If that is try a 1915 foto, it is a classic! Go gal!
3:56 pm on April 15th, 2015
Southbound in a few.
3:56 pm on April 15th, 2015
Yark! The computer is being turned off as we speak. How rude.
Riõ and friend, Have a great birthday. Eat lots of cake…drink lots of wine.
We will see all of youse tomorrow ^..^
4:03 pm on April 15th, 2015
Thank you Diane.
I had the title wrong. It is “Life in Squares.” James Norton will play Duncan Grant and Al Weaver will play Leonard Woolf. They were both in Grantchester. It will be filmed in London and at Charleston Farmhouse. Here’s a link:

I recieved a text from the Thieves that just contained two words: Mother Jail. It seems like the cake and food drop didn’t go as planned. I don’t doubt my negotiating skills will have them sprung by the time Friend gets home.
4:21 pm on April 15th, 2015
Percy sledge?
5:01 pm on April 15th, 2015
Hmmm. It seems that Dawson and Staff are no longer the only blog members whose mother has been in jail. Unless I read that message incorrectly…
5:27 pm on April 15th, 2015
how many of us remember slow dancing to this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lp7FtJXp7k
6:33 pm on April 15th, 2015
Tupper’s Mama: I’ve always liked that song.
7:02 pm on April 15th, 2015
Always liked “Slow Dancin’ “. Are We really our parent’s generation?
7:05 pm on April 15th, 2015
B-days and other things aside do others remember the VW Transporter? There is a new one. If you are a munchkin like our mom or some other friends of CHobbit and friends, this might be something t travel in for the next decade
7:13 pm on April 15th, 2015
HOH – yup.
The Storyteller and I danced to that at our wedding.
7:15 pm on April 15th, 2015
Slow dancin’ plain’ to the music. Slow dancin’ just me and my girl. Slow dancin’, playin to the music, slow dancin, just me and my girl.
7:20 pm on April 15th, 2015
We are so excited abouted a new transporter, mom could take us all, all over the place…SLOW DANCIN” and then some!……Whoo Hoo
7:44 pm on April 15th, 2015
ALR: I mailed you a packet of materials that bounced back to me “no such number.” Can you email me your address? Thanks.
7:44 pm on April 15th, 2015
Our mom is thinking that she could retire/sell the Suburban (and low gas mileage) and take the T5 or T6 and make it the travel vehicle for her and the dogs like back in the 60/70’s. Wow…lots of thoughts going into this travel van.
7:54 pm on April 15th, 2015
sorry HOH, but it is “swayin to the music”
Happy New Year, Rio and Friend

For all those waiting with baity breath for the latest report:
GF (gentleman friend) and I went to IHOP for brunch and then to the observation area at DFW airport to bask in the sun and watch the planes land. Then he took me to his apartment, which he shares with his 19 year old twin daughters. One was home and horrified at the mess, which is what he was hoping for. Then he brought me home, as it was time for him to get ready for work, walked me to the door, and..oops all out of time for today. Tune in next week for the latest adventures of Overage Teens
8:51 pm on April 15th, 2015
DA DA DA DA…the continuing story of…ML and her guy….What will happen? Heck, Who Knows and I ain’t gonna guess.. ML, either keep us informed or to heck with it. You silly gal you. (You will let us know, …won’t you?)
9:08 pm on April 15th, 2015
ML – see, now this is why we don’t watch soap operas. The suspense is killing us.
(Glad you are having a good time)
9:20 pm on April 15th, 2015
He kissed her. He kissed her!! I just know it! (If not, I can kiss her).
Zeus was a very bad boy today. Momma says he is in the doghouse. I don’t know where the doghouse is though.
9:27 pm on April 15th, 2015
ML, we are curious too. We think there might have been a kiss at the door. Tune in tomorrow or next week.
Night all.
9:27 pm on April 15th, 2015
It seems the Thieves landed them selves in Mother Jail—a term used for when they’ve been caught by Friend’s mother. I have negotiated their sentence each time. Is this the third or fourth time?—I lose count. It seems this time they were found out after a situation that involved a double-dog dare, a gassy pug and lit birthday candles. Had that not happened, Mother wouldn’t have even have known they blurred by the house.

Stop! Please stop. I have been on this blog for six years and now I’m being driven away. If your intent is to monopolize the blog, you have. And with such drivel.
10:01 pm on April 15th, 2015
Yeep. I’d like to wish Rio a very Happy Birthday before the day is over. I hope your team won and your favorite Idol contestant sings on tune.
10:14 pm on April 15th, 2015
Rio -so, did your friend have a grand and glorious day? Were Thieves involved?
Howlers – we are sure that it wasn’t Zeus’s fault. He has been led down the path of destruction by his buddy Tundra.
10:30 pm on April 15th, 2015
C. Hobbit! How sweet of you! I don’t know how to get your email address, and I am digging through my scraps of paper to see if I have one for HOH Mom from our meet up at PDX. So far my eratic scrap of paper file system is not serving me well! So here is my email and if you email to me I will happily email back to you! sandramikew at aol dot com. I spread it out, but you will put it together I’m sure.
10:38 pm on April 15th, 2015
Did Zeus have anything to do with the messy pictures on FB?
10:44 pm on April 15th, 2015
ML: Cliffhanger! Did You learn how to do that from Spencer Quinn?
BooBear: Those are beautiful pansies. Staff planted some just like that on either side of our sidewalk today.
Good night all.
11:02 pm on April 15th, 2015
ML – usually we see that kind of picture from Tundra’s mom. Today it happened at the Howlers’ house.
Uh oh.
