The Birthday Girl

 We didn't have any rain yesterday... or last night.  We've had enough for a while.  Lawns have stayed green all summer, and mowing has been constant.  Supposedly, according to the forecast at least, we're supposed to be rain free for the next couple of days.  However, there's a little rain event happening out in southern California that will eventually move east and when it gets here, there is a distinct possibility it will travel up the east coast (prevailing winds coming in off the Atlantic make that happen). so we might get more rain next Friday, or Saturday.

I got a little present this morning from my electric company.  My budget plan charge has dropped by $20 per month thanks to this mild summer we've been having.

And, of course, today is Lily's Big Day.  She's 10 years old.  She started this morning off with her normal morning snacks... and then a big pig ear.  She also had some banana, she loves bananas, and right now she's taking a nap on the bed.  Later, she'll be getting cake and ice cream.  For her entire life, it's always been white cake and vanilla ice cream.  This year, because she's 10 years old, she's getting chocolate fudge cake and vanilla ice cream.  She had a sample last evening and thought it was the cat's meow... I'd give her one of those but all my neighbor's cats have seemed to disappear.

Of course there are other presents abounding:  Trump refusing to sign the RNC's loyalty pledge, for one.  That's right, if he doesn't get the Republican nomination, he's going to refuse to support the candidate that does.  Stupid Ronna McDaniel is screwed.  She backed the fake electors scheme because she thought he'd be triumphant in overturning the election... well, I don't know what she thought Trump was going to do, but obviously not the 4 times indicted criminal he has turned out to be.

And, he's skipping the debate.  I think I told you he would.  Gutless, he is.  A coward to the nth degree.  Being called a scumbag to his face by Chris Christie on live TV is more than he can bear.

On a brighter note, let's just all sit back and wish Lily a Happy 10th.  She's going for a walk now.  She loves going for walks!
