Peek a Boo,  I see YOU!!  Good morning to you.

Pat Brown, President of the Garden Club is busy making leis.   She said it had been some time since she made one but she sure has not lost her touch.   Great job Pat.  Aloha!

The very first White House car

The very first car-1924 Ford.

Followed by the first parking meter.

and you thought there was something wrong with you.

Good morning.    We are in the midst of a heat wave and it went up to one hundred degrees;  Pat 107 over in her neighborhood.   I am lucky as I get a cross breeze when I open the back door, the windows on both sides and put a fan on to keep cool.  I did a little watering on the side garden yesterday, one that is usually neglected as it means walking on those rocks I thought was a good idea.  I do have to find some round flat stones to make a trail so I can get to the plants on that side of the house.    I found a few flowers growing where there should be a fence.   I put them in hoping they would grow tall and wide but find they have a long way to go.    They remind me of a tobacco plant.    Hopefully they will grow tall and multiply but with my luck the resident deer may think they have a special desert.

It is early for a political anything this time of day but I read this in an e-mail yesterday and thought to share it. 
"The budget should be balanced, the treasury refilled;  public debt should be reduced.  The arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed least Rome will become bankrupt.  People must learn to work instead of living on public assistance."  Cicero, 55BC.

What is it about history . . . it has a way of repeating itself . . . reminded me of  what is going on today.  No one ever said we had to follow what the Romans said and did but I guess we all became followers anyway.  It looks like the road to hell is paved with good intentions.  I wonder where the strength and pride went that went into making America the strongest leader that ever existed in this world.   We were hard workers and stood behind our efforts.    No shoddy work.   No half ass jobs.    No loafing or standing around.     We wanted to do our best and succeeded.     Wonder what happened?   Will we see a strong middle class ever again?   or . . . will we just see another type of history repeating itself, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer . . . think hard next time you vote.

With all that, I will love you and leave you.   I hope your today is really special, just like you.   Share those smiling eyes and hugs today, lots of folks are in need.     Give someone a 'boost' just because you can.  Hugs to all.
