Was my dad's favorite show along with Simon and Simon.
My favorite show my dad watched was the Rockford Files.
I love James Garner.
James Garner is a great actor.
 
Cleaning up at the Church today
I love seeing this. Our church is a little sad right now. I was at the parish on Wednesday talking with the vendor for a new phone system and watched as the crews transplanted four Saguaros that were near the church to other parts of the property because demolition will start in a couple of weeks. We are going to rebuild on the same property though.
 
I've been off most of today and just got caught up.

Nothing to add on the CBB training tank or the yellow wrasse. I agree with what was said on both.
 
@luis angel, @JoJosReef is the only one who heard my "delicate" strong french accent 🤣.🤣🤣🤣. I think you need 3 letters to know from where I come from not even 3 words

It was not that strong! You should hear my two friends from Lyon and Grenoble when I tell them that foie gras is the same a pate!
 
For those following along with my horse adventures things went well on my practice drive of pulling my horse trailer for the first time! I drove around some pretty steep curves and up a big mountain (trip was about 40 miles) and then back home where I only had to pull up 3 times to back it into the spot it gets parked in. Even my husband said I did good. 😁 I think it went well for not pulling or backing a trailer in over 14 years when I stopped driving an 18 wheeler.
 
So funny thing. I was going to see how bad the glass would get in one 4"x8" piece of glass by not scraping it. you can see it on the left in the full tank pic. that was a few days ago. the glass had started turning green again and suddenly that spot became "clear" while the rest of the glass went green?

Hmmm? I can’t wrap my tiny public school educated mind around that. Of course now I have to do it to see if I can replicate it or if I can call you a liar.
 
We're watching Alone. Not Home Alone, just Alone.
I love Alone, I watched at least 6 seasons. Which season are you watching and who are you rooting for? Also if you are watching Alone why is someone watching it with you, technically you’re not watching alone, just saying. 😉

Happy Sunday peeps! Today is the start of our summer lake weekend ( was supposed to start last weekend but it rained all weekend). Lots of food, time on the water and perhaps one or nine adult beverages.
