New Corgi, Old Crown

July 18, 2017 Tuesday

3:01 PM Sassy
New Corgi for the Queen!

Today’s incredibly sweet news bulletin from The Sun in London is that the Queen has adopted nine-year-old Whisper, a Corgi previously owned by Bill Fenwick, a gamekeeper on her Sandringham estate who died recently at age 93. His wife Nancy, who took care of the Royal Corgis when the Queen was away, died two years ago at 85. The Queen began taking Whisper on walks with Willow, a Corgi, and Vulcan and Candy, both “Dorgis,” a breed she created by mating Corgis and Dachshunds. She became so smitten with Whisper that she asked the Fenwick family if she could keep him.

Made of gold with enamel, sapphires, rubies, emeralds, diamonds, and pearls, the Crown of Princess Blanche, also called the Palatine Crown or Bohemian Crown, is the oldest surviving royal crown known to have been in England, and probably dates to the years after 1370.
The crown came to the Palatinate line of the House of Wittelsbach in 1402 as a dowry of Princess Blanche of England, a daughter of King Henry IV of England, on her marriage to Louis III, Elector Palatine.

Walk off walk

July 15, 2017 Saturday
12:33 AM Sassy
What a night for the Red Sox! They rallied in the bottom of the 9th to beat the Yankees on a…wait for it…walk off walk! That’s right…the Yankees fancy pitcher walked in the winning run. That puts the Yankees into 3rd place in the division. Whee! Wonderful start to the 2nd half!
[youtube=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FSARhl0U0RI&w=320&h=266]

I’ve never seen this happen! Turns out It’s rare. Last time the Sox did it was 17 years ago. And the last time against the Yankees was in the 1950’s by a guy named Ted Williams! I can’t imagine how tough it is not to swing with the bases loaded, to be patient and let the balls happen.

8:11 AM Sassy

Good morning kid!
8:12 AM Phil
Good morning pretty lady!
8:13 AM Sassy
Still hot weather?
8:13 AM Phil
[photo of him smiling at the gym in a t-shirt]

9:00 AM Phil
Ha!
9:00 AM Sassy
Wow…bad auto-correct there.  Hee hee
9:01 AM Phil
That was funny!
9:02 AM Sassy
Must be because I’ve been thinking of Hubby’s colonoscopy all week.  Bleh!
9:04 AM Phil
That test sucks
9:05 AM Sassy
The prep is the worst.  Hope they can find a new way to do it soon.
9:07 AM Phil
That slimy, nasty gunk is terrible even mixed with tequila
9:07 AM Sassy
You didn’t!

9:07 AM Phil
I did
Better than apple juice
9:08 AM Sassy
Ha!
Hubby has a tiny stomach due to his surgery years ago, so getting that all down was a challenge.
So glad that’s over.
9:08 AM Phil
Yep! Making bacon wrapped jalapeños for supper stuffed with goat cheese, some with crab, some with salmon and then some nice fresh caprese de buffalo
