    Today's Google doodle is very timely. I don't want to spoil it.

    That red, white and blue Sangria sounds great! Hey, it's 5:00 somewhere!

    As far as I'm concerned, it's 5 O'clock here!

    DVR has been replaced, set up to re-record Dr. who, and it's raining, so I can't get anything done outside.

    Ooh, and how about some red, white and blueberry cake? I have been known to, for special occasions, throw some raspberries in the family blueberry cake recipe - quite festive - and yummy!

    It's only 50F today in Chicago ... I'm drinking decaf coffee; would anyone like some with me? It's supposed to be back up to 70F by Monday, with rain on-and-off all weekend.

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

    I saw the Google Doodle and I agree...
    It is fitting to pause and reflect.

    After, can I have some of that Sangria? It sounds right up my alley!!

    With all the hot air in Chi-town, how did it drop to 50deg?

    Decaf coffee for CM, have to brew some, we normally carry leaded only.

    Sangria with a pause button>? Done!

    Karen, if you put raspberries in the blueberry cake do you add a little extra sugar or no?

    Boy - am I dense sometimes. The fog is clearing now tho - and now I get it.

    This is Memorial Day weekend, and my brother's memorial service is Saturday. My niece said that there will be a presentation of the flag - brother was a Navy veteran. I wasn't even associating the two. DUH! I think I'd better have a lot of Kleenex handy too............

    I hope everyone has a safe and happy long holiday weekend. Save some of that Sangria for me for when I get back, please.

    No, so the cake doesn't get too sweet, and folks seem to like it that way!

    Tuesday morning and it's still raining. Blecch. This rainy weather makes my joints ache, especially my old broken toe. I'm drinking decaf coffee again this morning; would anyone like some? It's supposed to rain all day with highs in the mid 70s F.

    We must be related, my toe has been bugging me too!

    I'll do a coffee with you?

    Hows about a piece of toast, too?

    MOFF,

    I have a bunch of photos I managed to salvage from my mom. My problem? I don't know any of the folks in them!

    One CRB.....DOnE!
