Went to Logan UT this weekend with my pals to see the football game. I lasted most of the first half and only then because it was about 70 in the sun, the view from the nosebleed section of the stadium was incredible, I was hanging with chums and they sell hot dogs.

Friends, I do believe I forgot to steer the ship! You must go check out my gal pal Lois’s cool blog, she is here.
Lois and I have spent many an hour together on buses, traveling to gardens to and fro and yakking our heads off all along the way. Get this: she trains seeing-eye dogs (now, THAT’S admirable!). An author, community activist, rabble rouser, garden lover, dog lover, scout, well………just go over and read her stuff.
