I love an icy cold drink! But now my friend Vivian, who lives in our hometown of Pueblo has made me think about ice! She said when she went through her ovarian and later breast cancer she was told by her doctors that she craved ice because she was anemic! That was interesting. Vivian and I have been friends since we were teens. Oh my goodness, she could tell you tales but we were young and very silly than. We shared a mutual friendship with Kathy O'Gane. I worked with Kathy's dad Buck at the County Courthouse when I was a young gal. Later I worked with Kathy too and then she up and joined the U S Navy. Her sister Marlene and their late brother Michael also were in the U S Navy. Kathy's health is not good these days and she and Marlene shared in the care of their mom Simi. She was put into a nursing home due to advanced Alzheimer's disease. It has hit the girls hard so please pray for them.
Since I was late to the birthday party for Pink Saturday, and actually missed it because I have been chasing rabbits and trying to help my hubby get our yard in shape, I will toast
Beverly and all the participating Pinkies with a Barbie shot. Who wears pink better than Barbie?
Maybe those ladies would like to try a Pink Punk Cosmo. It is an awesome drink made with pink cotton candy! Just don't try to say Pink Punk Cosmo too many times too quickly ok?
My friend Heather likes a Hawaiian Lava Flow. Perhaps the Pinkies will too.
Some folks like a simple and non alcoholic Strawberry Lemonade. This is like the one I bought from three little girls at the bottom of the trail at Chautauqua Thursday.Their mom even offered us fresh mint for our cool drinks after a 3 mile hike in the hot weather. Refreshing.
I had to share this simple prayer with everyone. I could use some prayers too. I have to go to jury duty on Monday and I would rather not! I am not a fan of our flawed judicial system where I really don't see the scales hanging in balance but rather rooting for the bad guy! After our traffic stop, for having Colorado plates, heading into Kansas last month to retrieve Nick from college and that trooper riling through our luggage ,I am really losing my patience with the whole legal system. Because I live in Colorado does not mean I am transporting marijuana or other illict drugs through another state! It was totally humiliating and very infuriating.
Justice or not?
Pretty as a picture, an image of Slovenia, the homeland of my ancestors. If you think I am a bit cynical about our legal system and the government, you need to know I was thrown into the lion's den s a young woman, working in the county courthouse. Now I made some friends there and learned a lot from the older ladies I worked with, but the whole political system is a crock of baloney. I knew it than and I still see it that way today. You can not change a BoJon girls mind. We are stubborn that way.
Time to turn in for the night. As my sLOVEnian phamily would say, Goodnight.
