Happy Hour

"IF A LIFETIME CAN BE LIKENED TO A DAY, THEN THIS IS HAPPY HOUR!"
BUCK PENNINGTON

Mother, Mother Ocean

Mother, Mother Ocean, I've heard you call
Wanted to sail upon your waters since I was three feet tall
You've seen it all, you've seen it all
Watched the men who rode you, switch from sails to steam
In your belly you hold the treasures, few have ever seen
Most of 'em dream, most of 'em dream
Yes, I am a pirate, two hundred year's too late
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothin' to plunder
I'm an over-forty victim of fate
Arriving too late, arriving too late

Yoda

"Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you? Hmm? Hmm. And well you should not. For my ally is the Force, and a powerful ally it is."
―Yoda, to Luke Skywalker

Counted the Stars

Counted the stars on the 4th of July
Wishing we were rockets bursting in the sky
Talking about redemption and leaving things behind
I have these pictures and I keep these photographs
To remind me of a time
These pictures and these photographs
Let me know I'm doin' fine
We used to be so happy once upon a time
Once upon a time
But the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line
And the sun sank west of the Mendocino County Line

We took Piper to The Grove in Los Angeles.......................American Girl Dolls...............................

We got her an American Girl Doll four years ago at Christmas.
Since we finally got her here this summer, we decided to take her to the store in Los Angeles. It's in a trendy shopping area off of South Vine Street......
Took a few pics with the Smart Phone.
We had dinner at the Wood Ranch BBQ and Grill in the same shopping center.

Piper's day in The High Desert

Yesterday was my RDO and my day with Piper. We went up to Red Rock Canyon State Park to see the formations and colors. We also went across to Randsberg and Johannesburg.
Then it was down to Hesperia and the Golden Corral! She loved it!
