I just wrote an entry in Flash's blog. If you're interested in his progress, take a look. http://flashthebordercollie.blogspot.com.

Movie Tuesday

Today we saw The Call with Halle Barry starring as a 911 operator who gets a call from an abducted teenage girl and then .... Well, it's a thriller and I don't want to ruin it for you.

Have to admit, we were thrilled and a little scared, too. 

Deer

Wow, we were sitting on the sofa around 7 tonight when a deer ran into our yard above the barbecue. I'm pretty sure she wasn't volunteering for dinner as she kept right on going.

Lost Cat

A couple of days ago, Precious II wouldn't come in at night. She kept playing on top of the hill behind the koi pond, but wouldn't come down when we called her. For the next two days, we called her but -- no cat. Then last evening she just wandered into the yard, hunting birds. I snatched her up and put her in the cat house overnight. This morning, she went out with the other cats but, again, tonight she didn't appear when the other cats were being put up. Then, around 6 p.m. she came  hunting birds again. So I caught her and she is now safe and sound in the cat house. I guess this is the new norm for her.

Snake!

Tuesday Homero killed a baby rattler--the first this year.

Movie Tuesday

Today's movie was Olympus has Fallen starring Gerard Butler and Morgan Freeman. The premise of the story is that a North Korean terrorist brings an army of his countrymen to take down the White House in order to gain aims that I'm not going to tell you and ruin the story. I will tell you that they really made a mess of the White House and I was pretty upset about it. It really was an action thriller, as advertised, and I didn't fall asleep.

Happy Easter!

Mom, Dennis and I had Easter dinner at our house today. Menu: ham, candied yams, broccoli and rolls with apple pie for dessert. (Burp)
