Well that's it for this Sunday, hope you enjoyed the questions and had an enjoyable relaxing time away from the normal routine. Had hoped to go to a concert at Saint-Gaudens, but with the rain I guess we'll go out for breakfast and then spend the rest of the day working at the apartment. Thanks, wit-nit! Happy day, all!

Thanks for playing, enjoy the moment, the day, and don't do anything I wouldn't do...

Hi and welcome to the last Sunday QOTD for June of this year. IF YOU ARE BORN ON JUNE 28, then your zodiac sign is Cancer whose shy personality is only a part of being a young crab. From inside, you are someone who is emotionally guarded. You keep your guard up to protect yourself from pain and suffering. In addition, you can invest too much time into worrying about things you should not.

Or anything you would do you wlld man you.



Last night when I went walkies with the boys I came across this 20 something super nice young man with his chihuahua mix. We had a nice conversation while the boys visited in their doggie way and this crazy man came up to talk to us. He was pleasant enough but a tad shy of a full deck and a little scary. I walked with the nice young man for a block or so until he was out of sight, and he lectured me about being out without my cell phone. He's a young officer in our town. Talk about being in the right spot at the right time. I hope we meet up again on our walkies sometime.
