pics, pics, pics

So joy! I found the cord. It only took about an hour of searching through three boxes and two suitcases to find it. 😛 Of course, then I had to upload the pics from my camera (there were 292.. I’m trigger happy) and then choose the winners.

â€”The fireworks are from last night; the parade was earlier this morning.

So this is Papi, my friend Jen’s 4-month-old teacup chihuahua. We friggin’ love this dog. He comes to visit me on weekends occasionally… and whenever his momma needs some male lovin’.. ahem. (Her one “friend” was annoyed by Papi’s constant need to be in the same bed with them. LOL)

What we didn’t know about Papi? He attracts the men in uniform like crazy!

This one was Jen’s personal favorite… he willingly put his hat back on so we could take his pic.

This is why I enjoy these events..

Of course, I spent half the morning looking for this… stupid open container laws. These parades should be like a baseball game, a) they have vendors walking to you to sell you food and b) they serve liquor in open containers!

This was a really interesting float… Iwo Jima and 911.

Um, Santa showed up..

And the “Mummas,” a string band that dressed up!

For the guest… it was like you were there! 😉

Fireworks from last night…

We had a great time… lots of uniformed men to check out and an entire stand of cotton candy just for me. 🙂

See, that’s made up my mind. I’m getting a dog.
And why is my “shift” key not working here?

LOL. Exactly. I’m going to “borrow” him way more often… and take him down to the local naval academy!

And what do you mean about your shift key? Mine works OK.

On a PC, when you hit the shift key to capitalize it puts it in lowercase. It shows up correct after you post but it looks weird when you’re typing your comment in.

But anyway, don’t get me started… 😉
