The Triumphant, But Not Wholly Unexpected, Return Of Mostly Purple Patty

…and her pet conch, Edward

Ok…I’m going to actually do a substantive post today. Here goes.

1: Happy Birthday Yesterday to my Mom! She is 81 and still full of piss and vinegar.

2: We took The Girls to the beach at Fort Bragg on Sunday. They were totally unimpressed by it, so we only stayed about 15-20 minutes. The drive up through the Napa Valley was very nice, as was the drive back along Highway 20. We did 5 mystery shops along our 430 mile round trip, so the cost of gas and food was covered.

Mostly, we did this day trip for two reasons: to get outta Sacramento for a day and to see how Winker and Lucy would do on a long car trip. They did very well indeed, altho they were a couple of pooped pooches by the time we got home.

3: Besides my mom, a shitload of other folks I know seem to have June birthdays. A few are hitting the big Four Oh this year. I shall try to remember to wish y’all happy birthdays as your day rolls around.

4: Must go walk the hounds now. Dungeon Delving post arriving in under an hour.
