YAY for the Beavers! I have always thought they were awesome and loved seeing inside their dens.
Plus, they are CUTE!🦫
Love the Dachshund ball rescuer! Better than a long arm👍🏼
That was me as a kid. Always the smallest one sent into the bushes to get lost soccer balls.
Agree, YAY for the cutie beavers!
And, doggies show why it’s always beneficial to have friends who are different from us.
Happy Independence Day, to those who celebrate!
Not feeling very celebratory, but I will be going to my parents’ house for burgers and corn on the cob (first of the season!). I also had yesterday off and didn’t get any texts from my coworker (this weekend is month-end so I told her to text me if there were any data issues we need to get fixed), so that’s a good sign. Just listened to the NPR Politics Podcast’s annual reading of Bill Pullman’s speech from Independence Day. 🎇
fried chicken, potato salad, corn on the cob, biscuits, broccoli salad, Arnold Palmers and my family’s secret dessert recipe (seriously, I’ve never even seen a recipe on the internet!). I will look into the Independence Day speech!
Dachshund ball rescuer is the perfect example of the fable of The lion and the rat from Jean de la Fontaine that we learned in school “On a souvent besoin d’un plus petit que soi” we often need someone smaller than us.
