Sandy is on a cruise - she has been to places like Half Moon Cay, Bahamas; St. Thomas, USVI; San Juan, Puerto Rico; Grand Turk; with a couple of Fun Days at Sea thrown in..... She is on a Fun Day at Sea right now!!! Tomorrow she will come home............ I can't wait......

While she has been gone, I have created a pile of brush:and re-hung my upside down tomato on the deck.
I got to watch the College World Series - and blogged about the winner. I also watched several European Cup Football matches... Tomorrow Spain plays Germany for the championship.... I do not know what happened to Ireland....

The dog has taken command of my chair where she can guard the front of the house....
She has done an excellent job guarding. She has occasionally let me sit in my chair - especially when I am eating and she is expecting to get some scraps..... she is usually right about that....

The other night something weird happened - at 15 minutes before 4 AM Jill dog started barking and would not stop.... I got up and went downstairs and discovered that my next door neighbor was investigating his side porch with a flashlight.... His dogs were barking and my dog was barking.... I don't know what he was looking for or if he found it.... but I was wide awake and could not go back to sleep.... I waited a little and let Jill out so that she could get her barking out of her system.... Then we watched the sunrise together.... weird ugh???

Any way, hope you are all having a good day, I am.......

Remember to take good care of yourself so that you can take good care on another and to pray for Matthew.....

Cheers, john

You created a pile of brush. The wind caused me, with a great deal of help from my son John and a neighbor, to pile up a lot of tree debris. The results look the same. So much for cursory glances at empirical data. Have you noticed yet that I usually make comments that are completely or tangentially off the subject?

Hi John,
Wow, you have been busy! Did you check with your neighbor about the 4am adventure?
I have a 64oz bottle of Blackstone porter, you will have to stop by and help me drink it!

No cruise for you? I guess somebody needs to hold down the fort and it looks like you and Jill did just that.

Enjoyed our visit with Dennis and Marie! They just left for JC and I see that he wrote about bringing the Blackstone Porter for you all to enjoy. It is really, really, good!

We will continue to pray for Matt. Bless you for keeping him close to your heart and praying for him.

John..I wished Dennis could have brought you a jug of the bitter we tasted at the Coppersmith restaurant, it's the best I have tasted, except for HSB of course.

We'll be glad when Sandy and Dennis and Marie are back at Cherokee (along with Sharon and Gloria and others). Things have seemed a little off balance without them.

Glad you and Jill have made it okay, with only a handful of interesting adventures.
