"Most people who study these sorts of things do not think that is a coincidence. I do not blame you directly for this incident."
I do. I blame him directly. But, I'm not half the man Dan Rather is.
Anne, I'm no expert when it comes to planting veggies but I believe as long as the temps are over 50 at night they'll be fine.
We love taking the ferry across the sound. It's a nice ride and it sure beats sitting in NYC traffic for hours. It's the only way to go for us. However, the last time the whole ride back to LI was in dense fog. It was a little unnerving. Dense! You couldn't see anything out the window except fog. Most grown ups on the boat were holding their breath. But, there was this little boy on the boat. I'm sure he wasn't even 5. He was having the time of his life trying to get his balance standing up. He kept on tipping over but he never fell. He loved it! He was laughing and smiling every time the boat rocked. And it didn't stop rocking until it finally hit the bulk head. I focused on that kid instead of the fog. He'd wobble over to me or another stressed out adult and smile and stare and giggle at us. You know that look. That look that says why don't you join me? It's fun. Thanks, but not today. I told his parents what a blessing it was to have him on that boat.
I thanked the captain and crew for getting us home safely too! I love the water but that day I felt like kissing the ground.

Anne...We have had 6 days of winds from 35-55 mph ...I think I flew over your hammock & am probably somewhere in Europe! 😝
I, too think that JA in Chief is responsible for all the hate rhetoric & attacks...He was the main cheerleader calling his "deplorables" to action....He is a human without a soul. No wonder the Pope looked so sad standing next to him. He knows exactly what kind of despicable human JA is. Yet in all his goodness, I'm sure he is praying for JA & hoping against hope he can influence him. But when JA thinks he is even better than the Pope, it's a lost cause IMHO.

Can someone explain to me how since this administration keeps telling us how important it is to reinforce friendships with Russia, it is somehow not important to reinforce friendship with the Muslim world? For almost two decades the Secretary of State has hosted an event in recognition of Ramadan, yet now, Tillerson suddenly decides to break with that tradition. Which to me just sends a very negative signal. I can see no rhyme or reason which can possibly be constructive behind this decision. Had the tradition never been started at all, fine. But it is a tradition, and the world knows that it is a tradition so to suddenly break with it is sending exactly the wrong signal, IMHO. Yeah, it's not like he has to do all the prep for the event or anything. All he has to do is show up. Happy Anniversary!

I have one package of cornedbeef left in the freezer.....I had better make it before the weather gets too hot. We can eat on it for the rest of the week...... I have my last corned beef in the crock pot right now. Tomorrow's dinner plans are Reuben sandwiches with the leftovers

How can JA not be blamed for this violence? He may not have been there wielding the knife, but his actions and rhetoric certainly set the flames of hatred in motion. I place the blame squarely at his feet.

Let his assistant handle it. I think this is a really boneheaded move, but I've learned we can't expect anything more from this administration. They have no diplomatic skills whatsoever. Thanks for the anniversary wishes!

Joining Linda in wishing you each a relaxing day with happy memories, and may this finally be a day with no disturbing new revelations coming out of Washington. Just enjoy the day however you spend it. We have no special plans, but it's good to finally see some sunshine out the window.
