Morning y'all - this is a fly by post so I have not caught up from yesterday (I assume from Baloo's post above that there are pictures and gossip from DC... but since I'm supposed to be working that will have to wait until tonight!

I just wanted to stop by and say...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DISNEYLAND!

And in honour of all you West Coasters...

It was 1955.

Consumers were introduced to Play-Doh, Crest fluoride toothpaste, Quaker Instant Oatmeal, the Ford Thunderbird, and Tappan home microwave ovens.

Rosa Parks refused to give up her bus seat to a white man, in defiance of Alabama law. Dr. Jonas Salk's polio vaccine was declared "safe, effective and potent," and millions of school children were given polio shots.

Joe DiMaggio was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Ray Kroc opened the first corporate McDonald's.

Albert Einstein and James Dean died. Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, and Bruce Willis were born.

And Disneyland opened in Anaheim on July 17.

This page lists the attractions that Disneyland guests could experience in 1955. Some were operating on opening day, while others premiered as the year progressed. It's amazing that there are attractions from 1955 that you can still enjoy five decades later.

Hi Everyone! I have about 400 posts to catch up on! Michigan was fun, I'll post pics of the birthday party whenever I get the chance. When we got home from MI, our compressor on our house AC went out, so I'll be dealing with that for the next few days. Mom will be over today for a few days, we are celebrating our birthdays tomorrow. If I missed anything major, please PM and let me know! It'll be months before I can catch up!

Morning, DDA! I loved having more pictures to look at this morning, Kate. Thanks! Terry - can't wait to see MTM in the cockpit. That is amazing.

I cannot believe it is morning and I have to go to work. Remind me not to stay up so late next time. It was 2:18 when I finally got to bed, and the dog was going nuts at 6:18 needing to go out. AAAAAAAAACK! Have a great day everyone.

 

[Pooh67_68]

Yes it is, thank you.

I hope all is well with you.

 

[Pooh67_68]

Nice to meet you all.

Thanks for the thought, but I couldn't stay awake for them. Luckily I didn't because Alyssa had me up at 0730 this morning!

Good morning, all! It looks like you had a great time in DC! I was at a 3-day swim meet (outside) Friday-Sunday beginning every day at 7 am and ending after 8 pm each evening. It was long, hot, and tiring, but we had a good time. Our club hosted the meet, so there was no sitting idle time. I timed events from 9 am-12:00pm and 2:00 pm-7:00 pm and also stickered and sorted awards.

Friday and Sunday were blistering, and I look a bit like a lobster. Saturday alternated between pouring rain and blistering. I'll take the blistering any day over the rain! Well, working a swim meet anyway.

Paula--my prayers are with your SIL and her family.
Amy and Kevin--I love the photos of your family.

My boys are standing over my shoulder ready to use the computer. I'll have to finish catching up later.

Here is a photo of dd swimming the fly.
