Low maintenance rose in the corner of the yard. It’s got vicious thorns, but blooms all summer long and requires no watering.

IN CONGRESS, JULY 4, 1776.
THE UNANIMOUS
DECLARATION

Friday cat blogging with pictures taken from the new camera!

Here are two pictures taken with my new camera yesterday.

Generally, pictures I take of people don’t turn out well, but I like these alright.

I’ve read 73 books so far this year. I’m averaging 12 books a month, which is pretty good, all things considered. But then, books have always been an escape for me, so perhaps that isn’t so impressive after all.

Also, happy birthday to Kathy!

And most importantly: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

Yup! It’s my BIRTHDAY! Woo! Everyone should celebrate!

And how should you celebrate? You should celebrate by doing something that makes you happy!

My happy plans including going out to lunch with friends and having molten lava chocolate cakes for dessert!
