Had a great time over the weekend.

I took Susan to see Mama Mia off-broadway Friday evening. We went to see it with her BFF Amy and Amy’s husband Clint. Before the show, we met up with them for dinner at Pappadeaux’s Seafood. Had good food and conversation. The show was ok, but not really my thing.  was just happy to be able to take Susan to it because I know she had wanted to see it pretty bad.

Saturday, Susan, the girls and I went to San Antonio to SeaWorld. Emma’s Brownie troop was bridging or ‘flying up’ to Junior Girl Scouts there. Had a blast, but it was stinkin’ hot! It hit 107 or more while we were there.

Sunday, had a lazy day for my birthday, but did do Susan’s lawn for her. Trimmed the weeds and mowed the yard. The girls got me a b’day card, and they all got me a gift I’d been wanting for the computer (an external hdd). Susan made me dinner (asked me a few weeks ago what I wanted), Veal Parm – thankyavurymuch!

Overall, had a great weekend, but it wore me out!

I’ll be posting some pics of the weekend…

My not-so-favorite Attorney General, Eric Holder, has issued a command to the U.S. Marshalls to protect “appropriate people and facilities around the nation” in the wake of the murder of a late-term abortion provider.

The murder of this doctor was not something I condone or approve of, by any means. In addition, I’m definitely praying for his family and asking that they’d be given comfort in their loss. Murder is wrong, and if someone is “pro-life”, they need to keep that in their heart at all times. We are not given the power as individuals to be judge, jury, and executioner.

The horrible murder notwithstanding, this edict from Comrade Holder is ridiculously biased. There is no need to have the U.S. Marshalls be tasked with ‘protecting’ these people and facilities. What I’d like to know is if our Esteemed Comrade Holder will also be tasking the U.S. Marshalls with protecting ‘appropriate’ strip club owners, dancers and patrons in the wake of the horrible shooting spree in Springfield, Massachusetts? What about all the ‘appropriate’ schools across the country in the wake of the tragic school shootings? How about ‘appropriate’ churches in the wake of all the shooting sprees in churches lately?

What makes abortion facilities and practitioners more ‘appropriate’ for U.S. Marshall protection than any other service provider facilities across the country that have come under attack?

Things are going great between Susan and I.

The chemistry is still going strong. The mental and emotional connections are still very much there and growing stronger daily. We’re spending a lot of time together and not getting tired of one another. I miss her when she’s not around and she feels the same about me.

She’s met some of my heart family and they love her. I’ve met her heart family and they love me. Her girls wanted to meet me a couple weeks back,  and when we did meet, we instantly connected. They’re good girls, and very silly as well as a lot of fun to hang with, just like their mama.

I have no complaints. I’m very happy right now. Looking forward to how things grow.  I’m not going anywhere…

So, since last week, I have to say that things have progressed rather nicely. This wonderful woman and I have been seeing an awful lot of one another, and it seems like we have a whole lot more in common than we ever imagined. It’s like we’ve known one another our whole lives. Seriously.

Her name is Susan. She’s a great woman. She’s the mother of two beautiful little girls. She has a fantastic career that she loves and she’s good at. She’s also a professional photographer in her spare time. She’s strong, courageous, soft, gentle, caring, compassionate, kind, generous, loving, firm, helpful, thoughtful, gorgeous and… unforgettable. I’m honored to have her in my life…

I’m adding a few pictures to this post to introduce her.

A few weeks ago I decided it was time to get back into the fray and make myself available again. I’m glad I did, honestly.

I went on a date last night with someone very special. We’d been talking for a while on the phone and finally decided to meet in person. Had really good chemistry and A LOT of laughing on the phone. I haven’t laughed this hard in a very long time.

The date went well. We went to a very classy place for dinner here in town, and had great food and conversation. Then we went up to Mount Bonnell after dinner with the intention of taking pictures and checking out the stars with my telescope.

The clouds prevented us from bringing the telescope up the stairs to the observation point, and when we got up there, we realized it was too hazy for any really great shots to materialize. That turned out to be a blessing in disguise because we just sat and talked and enjoyed each other’s company. Nice. Loved that. We’re definitely “in like” with each other.

Someday soon, I’ll introduce her on the blog, but for now, we’ll leave it at that.

A woman (a UCLA student) poses as a 14 yr old girl impregnated by a 31 yr old man and goes to PP to find out what she needs to get an abortion. The PP employee instructed the woman who she believed was 14 and had a 31 yr old boyfriend, to lie to a judge and tell the judge her bf was 17 to obtain a secret abortion.

Disgusting.

These people get half a billion or more in tax dollars, and according to the research that the group this woman works with, Live Action, has experienced this same sort of thing in 75% of the clinics they’ve gone to. Absolutely unacceptable.

Gary’s one of the best in the business and this is one of my favorites from him.

Just stuff…

Here are some shots of the moon I took the other night through the telescope.

Telescope is an Orion SkyQuest XT6 Dobsonian unit with a 25mm Plossl eyepiece.
