  1. Love the photos! I'm NOT jealous, really, my eyes are always that glowing shade of green!

    I can't help but wonder if political ads really work anymore. Everyone seems to hate them,regardless of whose side the ad is for.

  2. I see snow on the mountains! DD is sharing pictures on Facebook, and so far I haven't seen any snow on the mountains ... there was snow on the mountains in June when we were there 2 years ago ... maybe it all melts between June and July.

    I didn't even think of political ads ... I hate them, too!!
