At least in my case. I also love the urn for your doggie, how sweet. I used to be on a bowling league, but I haven't bowled in ages. Since my wrist has gone bad, I'm afraid it would do it more damage. But bowling is fun.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05296300032567383021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2270324635714119391.post-46185183521322342222015-09-11T21:41:10.995-05:002015-09-11T21:41:10.995-05:00What a heartwarming story.

We tend to think of politicians as something less than humane (especially now in the throes of election campaigns) but this reminds they have private lives.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing.Sakuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11508656442667275102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2270324635714119391.post-20544250657725737372015-09-11T12:45:21.503-05:002015-09-11T12:45:21.503-05:00That book sounds very interesting.

What a delightful story! I saw that statue you show here, and I've seen clips of the speech you mentioned. I even have a Fala tee shirt. Just now, I was informing Skittles all about Fala, and she approved so enthusiastically that she ran and got her bone to show me. :-)Fireblossomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07040525704916368792noreply@blogger.com
