THE REAL THING
When mine Mommy and I first discussed the "month of July" and she told me it would all be like old stuff ~ flashbacks, looking back and all that, well I was okay with it. I mean I had just had "my month of June", my month of me. Me, myself and I. A little rest seemed okay at the time ... but fur real ... I've kinda sorta missed being here. I do like it when all of you tell me I'm kinda sort "cute", my furs get all puffed up and I feel good! Meow. So ...
Last night I noticed she'd fallen asleep, in my polka dot chair no less (the nerve of her), and I'd been sitting at the table, watching her get a post ready for Thankful Thursday.

14 YEARS AGO TODAY ~ THE END OF AN ERA
On July 8, 2011, fourteen years ago today, at 11:26 a.m., the last launch of a space shuttle lifted off from Pad 39A at the Kennedy Space Center, Merritt Island, Florida.
That morning was hot and muggy and although we could hear the booms of lift off and feel earth tremors below our feet ~ the "trails" were but a small dot of light in an overcast sky from our distant spot along the Indian River.
My husband and I had taken our little grandboy to see this historic launch, ATLANTIS STS-135, though his interest was minimal. And for us, it was a bit of a disappointment, as we had been privileged for many years to see shuttle launches up close and personal ...
