Beth? That's a new one.

Plats never pay any booking fees. Unless, of course, you have an over zealous agent.

That was the plan for the name had things come out slightly differently. Fortunately, I wasn't the name that Olton Hall butchered.

I've not done it in a while but a couple years ago it was a non-issue/non-fee event. But things may have changed in that time.

Jinx

OK, I think I jinx things when I talk about weather.

After having a lovely day, the heavens suddenly opened and dumped about a years worth of rain on us in ten minutes.

And, a huge tree just cracked and fell in our front yard. Fortunately it fell sideways and missed our cars, but fell into the street and also into our neighbours driveway. No damage to humans, pets or vehicles, thank goodness.

There is a flurry of police activity outside our house at the moment because the tree is blocking the main road - Rte 27 -

Thank goodness this is only a rental house!!!

Trying to pick out a proper mix of wines for our rehearsal dinner has left me rather thirsty...

Thanks. Here are some pictures we took at Target a couple weeks ago. It wasn't hard to make her smile. She saw the camera and smiled.

I don't know which was worse, my slip up or the Beth thing? I think I'll buy a couple of NY lottery tickets tomorrow.

My bad. That seemed like the obvious slip up.

Round three of my slot tournament was another . Did win $50 in slot credits. But the best was later when I went on a five hour streak. Wow. Let's just say I'm very happy .
