So, I checked the Titanic list of passengers and crew. No relatives of mine on board, from what I could see, but I did find two possible relatives of Mark!!! This ancestry.com is contagious!
Then, the Titanic disaster got me thinking. People on board were from all corners of the earth ... like the World Trade Center. The Titanic's sinking must have been like 9-11 in the scope of misfortune. In the 1900s, millions of people crossed the oceans on big liners. I wonder how many families decided not to emigrate from fear of another "Titanic" disaster. Nine-eleven certainly affected commerce and travel ... just thinking aloud.
So, good morning!!! I took the doggies out at 6:30 just ahead of a light rain. When they come in, having successfully done business, they get a Milk Bone. This is a routine that speeds up the entire process. Today, I was feeling rather magnanimous, and while Maggie and Robbie were enjoying their cookie in the kitchen, I tossed a few "Pup-corns" around the dining room and by the front door for them to find later. That was a great idea, until I stepped on one and ground it into the carpet. LOL.
Happy "almost" birthday to me ... Mark will be busy today! Our new Visio bedroom TV arrives. Plus I "treated" myself to a little "retail-therapy" at Hobby Lobby; two days ago, I bought a mirror. Of course it needs to be hung after the TV is hooked up.
The TV arrived at 1 o'clock, and Mark got busy installing it. Then he hung two mirrors for me! What a fantastic guy I married !!!
So, tonight we decided to take the dogs to Burger King for supper. It's been a rather gloomy, cool day so a treat was in order.
Robbie gets overzealous ... Chicken, chicken, chicken!!!
It's dropped to 61° this evening so we have a very happy fire going ... My style, an instant log. LOL
