A Cupful of Weekend!!!

 

Good Morning, from me and Finnegan!

Slowly switching everything over to Fall...complicated by the fact it is dropping into the 30's-50's this week.

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!

 Making real progress with Finn, especially after finding out his favorite stuff in  the whole world is rotisserie chicken!

Me (last week): Don't expect me to get you rotisserie chicken every week.

Also Me (this week):  Hey  guy....guess who just bought you another rotisserie chicken???

I know...I'm such a push-over.

He has been supervising my gardening attempts...and loves the straw!

Broke about half of one of the mini-bales into Tucker's old house, which he has taken over, and promptly dug out a nest for himself.

Good for those extra cold days.

Fat Bear Week started Monday...


I've voted.

The system is safeguarded so you cannot vote multiple times...and still there have been over 100,000 votes already!

Many have already been eliminated.

Grazer, 747, Holly, Chunk, Walker and 856 are still in the running.

Eliminations continue through Monday, and the winner will be announced Tuesday.

My guess is that Chunk (#32) or Grazer (#128) will win....both are huge this year.

In local news, Momo the monkey escaped and led police and animal officials on a merry chase through the Eastside of Indy. He has been caught and returned to his owner.


 Momo

In National News, Dick Butkus (former LB for the Chicago Bears) has died.

I actually was privileged to meet the man when my late husband worked at United Airlines.

To say he was HUGE is an  understatement.

His hand was big enough to facepalm your entire head...and he made my 6'6" husband look small in comparison, okay?

 In political news, Kevin McCarthy has been ousted by his own party.

"I never thought the leopards would eat MY face."

and the House GOP is in disarray.

I think Fetterman said it best

And the former guy...who has so many active indictments going on...well it is hard to keep track of...made us laugh this week when he filed a motion to dismiss stating (I am not making this up) Executive Privilege.

Of course it was denied.

...slowly shaking my head...

The Movie of the Week:

A 2008 film that I somehow missed back-in-the day...with three of my favorite leading ladies...and one amazing car.

A film about death...dying..survival and truly living seen through the eyes of three friends-for-life.

Uplifting, inspirational and funny.

A nice feel good film!

Highly Recommended. 

This Week's Book:


Well researched, an MD's take on the things that all Centenarians have in common. 

Dry in spots...overly long...like asking someone what time they have and they tell you how a wristwatch is made.

The entire book could be distilled into one page.

How to live to 100 and Beyond.

Nutrition

Exercise

Sleep

Emotional Attitude

 

Yeah...that's it.

...but you couldn't very well charged $42. a head for that, could you???

Good advice...but could have been a better book.

Getting ready for a hot bubble bath and a nice nap.

Football tomorrow...Colts at 1 PM and Kansas after 4.

We extended JT's contract and he will be playing!

More later...


 Football...again???

We won....we won...we won!!!!!
