Happy Birthday, Uncle Scotty!

I'M READY FOR CAKE!!

With apologies to Emmylou Harris...

"It's all right, 'cause it's midnight, and I got two more bottles of wine!"

(Just a plug for a local winery in Wise, Virginia.  Mountain Rose Vineyards is located on the site of an old strip mine and they produce some wonderful wines.  If you like muscadine grapes, by all means try their Sweet Mountain Rose wine! Elmer doesn't imbibe, but he likes to drink by putting his paw in the water dish and then licking the paw.  I thought the water bowl was leaking for awhile until I saw him one morning.)

In Honor of Mother's Day...

"Where are you going, my little one?

Where are you going, my baby, my own?

Turn around, and you're two, turn around and you're four--

Turn around, and you're a big cat, going out of the door."

A rose by any other name. . .

"Is this all you get for winning the Kentucky Derby?  I was expecting caviar. . .  or at least tuna."
