I just finished this book and enjoyed it! It was fun reading about old Hollywood and how it worked in those days! Who Desi and Lucy got to work with. Wow Desi was born in 1917 and Lucy was born in 1911! I can’t imagine how different the world was in their era of time!
Desi was an innovator in television, back in those days they filmed on theatrical 35 mm film. Desi Arnaz knew how to conduct business! He had one important condition, he wanted to own 100% of the rights to the resulting films and CBS agreed. He was inventor also on how to successfully run cameras for the shows!
Meet my new fur kid, her name is Boa. She is 5 years old so I am keeping the name she was raised with! She is a huge sherry but so very gentle and quiet gal! This is our first day together!
Hopefully she will live many more years and we shall get into shape together on our walks as soon as she heals from her Spay surgery!
I watched the Donna Adelson trial and also Charlie Adelson trial, I found out that Ruth Markel, (Dan Markel’s) mom wrote this book so I got it and read it in 2 days!
Wow it is so awful what Mrs. Markel’s family went through losing their beloved son! So many families lives were affected by this crime.
Someone got me Hooked on watching trials! I won’t name who tee hee! They know who they are! haha
I watched The Widow’s Words Murder Trial. I took extensive notes because I wanted to be able to compare these notes to when her co-conspirator went on trial in August. However he plead guilty so that trial was a no go and these notes were worthless basically!
I did have fun doing them though and learning how the court process works! I am bummed I didn’t get to use my notes for the second trial.
Then I watched the Matriarch Mastermind Murder Trial. I did not take extensive notes for this trial, only personal notes of my thoughts on the trial. Wow, it was amazing how well the Prosecuting Attorney’s worked so well together and I loved the Judge in this trial with his sometimes sense of humor coming through, but yet commanding of his courtroom is superb.
I loved the judge in the first trial I watched as well. It was fun to see the differences on how courtrooms are run in different states!
No these are not from my yard, I wished they were, tee hee! My yard lets just say is DOG friendly and has no blooming beauties! Boo hoo! That means I should get another doggy!
I sure loved driving the buses! I was lucky in my career being able to do different jobs where I worked. It gave variety to what could have been mundane! In the end I loved driving the buses the best!
Sis and I went on an adventure, I will post pics from that soon! It feels so good to not have to wake up to an alarm clock and go to bed so very early!
Now I have time to slowly work on my house, also do all of my hobbies and down the road get me another fur kid! I miss having a doggy fur kid!
We so lucked out there was just a small line to see the Coast Guard ships and I never got to tour them so this was a big treat for me! The Coast Guard is my favorite branch of the service so I was so stoked to be able to see their ship.
We boarded the U.S Coast Guard Cutter Henry Blake! it is based at a Naval Station in Everett Washington and it’s primary mission is the maintenance of 80 lighted, 39 unlighted, and 65 shore-based Bouy Tenders. They also perform search and rescue, law enforcement and environmental protection.
Positioned in front of this vessel was the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Eagle. It would have been fun to see it but there were way to many people on there and the line was way too long! I was so happy to see the smaller vessel anyway!
Here is one of the buoys they have on board, the chain looks so massive too that is holding it.
This officer has been serving in the Coast Guard for 8 years! It was nice to chat with her!

We stopped at a wonderful Thai restaurant and had an appetizer and beer. We will definitely be going back there for lunch. The restaurant smelled so good!
