**{{{Taters, Mr. Taters and Family}}}** You all and your MIL are in my thoughts and prayers. I wish you all peace and strength through this time. **gotti** poor doggie. Hope he’s all better soonest. All deheathenated Luteran style. Dressin’ is bakin’ away, turkey is sliced, other stuff is waitin’ to be warmed up and rolls ready to be baked. Oh and a Bloody Mary has been consumed because, of course, I wanted to make sure they were up to quality to serve to guests. How I sacrifice! 😃 ---

{{ **Taters** }} Made bananana cupcakes today- decidedly nom. Also eating homegrown strawberries, which are also fairly nom, though they’ve not really had enough sun, so they’re not as sweet as they could be. The added smugness of homegrown counts for a lot though 🙂 It’s supposed to be sunny most of this week though, which is typical, as I’m going to be inside on this course all week- doing the customer service bit, so not even the half of the course I want to do (they ain’t daft, they put the half everyone wants to do at the end). Oh well, at least it’s light late, so I can go pick stuff in the evenin’. ---

{{{{{{{{{{ **Taters** }}}}}}}}}}, I am keeping your family in my thoughts and prayers. I wish there were more I could offer, but I will keep you in my prayers, esp. your husband. I’m here and I’ve been reading, just not posting. It’s been unusually HOT and dry in NM which has led to a lethargy on my part, I guess. Ah well, I’m hoping this is not a foreboding for the summer, but may be. ☹ I am on facebook too, nearly every day; I don’t post much there either. But if you see me liking your posts, you’ll know who it is. Or not. Hehe. At any rate, I’m thinking of you all - good to see **Dotty** , and omg, the little **HRH** is so cute! It is hard to believe she’s 6 now!! Good thoughts and prayers to all in need. Enjoy your Sunday folks. ---

> [@dogbutler](#): > > Apartment is clean, and I put a tacky pink flamingo out in front of my door.😃 For a truly tacky pink flamingo, it should light up from the inside and be covered in glitter. If you’re goin’ for a look, go all the way I say! 😃 ---
