There you have it, picture on the left taken at 8:05 tonight, just 2 hrs 20 minutes ago, can't get much better than that sunset, taken off my front porch. And the picture on the right, shows the paver stone path to the gate leading out onto the sidewalk. This picture taken last night right after I had trimmed off the black weed blocker fabric on the right hand side. Haven't trimmed off the left side, as I need to fill in some dirt against the paver stones.

And thanks to Sandra, she is the first to acknowledge that she read my blog. To her goes a nice ice cream Sundae. To those who are faithful, there are rewards, so the rest of you when you read this new blog, let me hear from you. Who knows what reward you might receive.

Recently I had a email from a good friend, who had sent I guess some sort of card, that required uploading an attachment. I didn't open it, but have been deluged with spam sort of mail all in this same vein. Please, I like my emails to be something of a more personal way than some pass it on or you'll have bad luck, or pass it on and you'll have good luck.

I don't believe in LUCK. What happens, happens, and if its GOOD well I know where goodness comes from and if its not so good, I can handle that too. I walk under ladders, I don't care if a black cat walks in front of me, and I break mirrors without any great thought that bad luck will befall me. Try it, it works for me. And if you don't know what I'm talking about, ask me. I'll do my best to explain.

Had a nice post card from a dear friend, Lisa, who just now happens to be biking across part of Ireland. She was in Clifden which is on the West coast of Ireland, right next to the Atlantic. Now I know it sounds a bit strange to refer to the Atlantic on the west coast, but that's where it is over there in Ireland. She is encountering lots of rain, so my prayer tonight for her, is that the sun will come out and she will have some decent weather for the remainder of her bicycling trip. Wish some of the bicyclists here in Portland would take a trip overseas to bike around on, instead of changing 4 lane roadways to 2 with bike paths on both sides. That my friends is the heighth of stupidity on our city engineers.

Roads are made to move traffic, not jam them up. Got to get off that subject, or else my blood pressure may rise. Hope to see many of the Buck family on Saturday as Donna and I j0urney to Cottage Grove area for a picnic along a nice river. Weather doesn't look too promising, but I'm sure the family will survive no matter rain or shine.

Enuf for tonight, I could go on forever, but think its time to say, Cherrio
