I like the 2 birds standing on a giant cracker. 😁

Hello, Karen,

Thank you I appreciate your kind words, especially this weekend as the folks of Minnesota is in mourning over the loss of life and two more still fighting for their lives after a tragic, horrific shooting at the hands of a madman. It's a dark and sad weekend with this murderer still at large.

Thank you Eileen we are all in mourning this weekend over the loss of lives and still two victims fighting for their lives from the hands of a spineless individual that through the words of his closest friend from 4th grade spoke live he knew his friend was a huge trump supporter and had voted for him again but he never would have guessed that he was capable of these horrific actions. Of course, this person stepped up only after they have put a 50.000-dollar award out for his arrest. Puts such a dark shadow on Father's Day celebrations too.

Thank you for your kind words and my granddaughter was having a wonderful birthday, her daddy who was away at a National Guard training session as they often do this time of year, he came back early to share the day with her and of course having her boyfriend along on their family adventures that day was a super bonus! They were at a Tea Party in that photo, all of them! Her Dad's first Tea Party there!

She's so excited and she's a good driver I hope she continues to be a safe and cautious driver!
