Good morning.

Having attended many bachelor parties over the years, I feel I must defend the honor of Gentleman's Clubs. They do not use cutesy names for their drinks. They water them down and probably put glitter on the rim of the margarita glasses, but it's just called a margarita.

I thought I told y'all about the dog thing. The lady was giving up the dog because she was going to move back to Puerto Rico to take care of her sick mom. Something happened and she had to make a snap trip down there and we haven't heard from her since.

Good morning BBB friends.

Puppy talk aside, our furry friends do play a prominent role in our conversations, don't they? Sassy is snoozing on top of my feet as I type this.

No grandkids around this weekend. The family is backpacking up to a high lake in Olympic National Park. This is the kids' first "serious" backpacking trip. The lake is 8 miles from the trailhead, with about a 3,200-foot climb. DGD will be using her dad's first backpack, which has been hanging in our garage since he graduated to a larger model when he was 13. I feel proud that yet another generation of the family is experiencing a love of wild places.

Good morning BBB Friends.

• Note: Lou capitalizes gentleman's club. I did not. There is subtle message there.
• We were puppy sitting, not puppy adopting.
• We are headed to Olympic National Park next week. I doubt we will be backpacking though. That reminds me. I need to take my old folks park pass.
• Windshield? I missed that story.
• Enjoy the ritzy weekend Mary.
• Anyone else notice that MFP appears to be running on an Intel 286.

Morning BBB

Cooking classes are vegetarian so far but we have been eating some meat when we are out. It's very hard in Mexico not to have some meat if you wanta meal out.

Today is massage. Then need to finalize our trip to San Carlos. So far have appointments to see 5 apartments/houses.
