Thank you Beachbabe for this evening’s favorites! *Hugs*

My favorite beverage.....WATER! LOL

I have a cuppa green tea in the morning then water all day.

When I fancy an adult beverage it’s vodka & water on ice.

Hey...I live in the desert...we need water! LOL

Oh no....fortunatly we were a distance from them.

Grammie was wayyyy to close for comfort though!

Yorkie gets too close at times as well but we are in a more “metro” area.

It’s been a tough wild fire season for the state with the loss of so many lives & homes.

But our sweet FReeper ladies are OK!

How has your week been.....almost FRiday! ;-}

I like pinot Grigio.

Lynn-Dah like Chateau de toilette 2013...an amusing little vinatge with musky undertones and a top-note of urea.

Lynn-dah has gained back three of the 8 pounds she has lost.

And eating the way a proper Lab eats. Which means she will gain the rest back in no time.

Temp: Within Normal Limits.

Tail: wagging

Still killing those steenking ticks though.

St Brendan's Irish Creme on ice. Its the real thing made from real Irish whiskey. Bailey's is not Irish Whiskey. St Brendan's beats ice cream for a nightcap any day.
