^5 San!!!

 

Hi MM!!!

 

Good Morning, Monkeys!!!

 

Hi Bearly.  As you can tell I am having a problem sleeping.  I will try again to go back to bed.  Have a goodnight or should I say good morning.

 

Tell those puppies to go night night!

[Bearlyhere]

CBB, how is our powerful pooch?

 

She seems to feel good, Bearly! Thanks for asking!   

What's on the agenda for the rest of the week, Bearly?

Shopping and movies tomorrow.  Wednesday we are stopping at a remote place we love that I used to go as a kid in North Jersey.  My son has been bugging me to rent a house in crab season so we can cook them instead of throwing them back. 

We are mostly taking time to enjoy each other's company now that my son is getting older, and planning for his future.  This summer I am trying to teach him a little about finances.

It is what is not on the agenda that gets me in trouble.  I am up for what life presents me.

How about you, hon?  I love the avis!

Hi Sparky and Newsie!!!

 

Looks like I am not the only sleepless monkey tonight! 
Bearly, I say if he is cute - and since you need to lie down every once in awhile - then you are taking it easy and having the fun!   Okay, too much bachelorette for me tonight!  LOL

     I musta "bearly" missed Bearly.   I hope she will not be 'bearly' mad at me for my silly humor in the am.     Guess I will have to try the pillow again - wish me good luck whoever is reading!  Nites all!

Hi Miss Bearly,

Sorry I missed you earlier. Answer to your question. I agree with Klaas you know your body and it's limits better than anyone else. So go have fun be a little daring with your play, enjoy yourself. You know what you can and can't do, you also know what you will feel like if you over do it. Moms are made to worry about their babies no matter how old they are, she just doesn't want you have any any more pain than you have had.  Prayers to you and your continued well being. So very happy you are having such a wonderful time. God Bless

Give me a hint?   This would be my 'hunting' grounds.  Glad you are having good weather, Bearly.  They are still predicting possible thunder storms, but it hasn't rained since Sunday night here.

Driver in Sunnyvale 'car surfing' death pleads no contest, will serve no more than one year in jail

 Sunnyvale woman who was behind the wheel when her boyfriend was killed while car surfing has pleaded no contest to felony vehicular manslaughter and will spend no more than one year in jail, according to the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office.

Athena Ford, 20, of Sunnyvale, was driving a Toyota Camry on May 16 when her boyfriend, Paul Benabides, 20, fell off the roof of the car while it was traveling 30 to 40 mph, according to the Sunnyvale Department of Public Safety. Benabides suffered major head injuries and died shortly after being taken to El Camino Hospital.

In reaching a plea deal with the district attorney's office, Ford avoided a possible maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.

"Based on our review of all factors, including mitigating factors, this is what we felt was appropriate in this case," said Amy Cornell, a spokeswoman for the DA's office.

Benabides and Ford were out with another friend on a Saturday night in May when Benabides and the other passenger climbed onto the roof of the Camry, which was traveling northbound on Lois Avenue. Benabides slipped to the rear of the car and held on to the "rear wing" while being dragged for an undetermined distance, according to police.

Sunnyvale police Capt. Doug Moretto said a combination of alcohol and "horseplay" led directly to the death.

Benabides' mother, Susanna Ramon, is not happy with the outcome.

"I believe there wasn't any justice for my son,"

Ramon said. "I don't feel the system worked for him."

Benabides attended James Lick High School and was taking auto mechanic classes at the time of his death, his mother said. Benabides and Ford had been dating for about six weeks when he died, Ramon said.

Ford's attorney, Cameron Watt, described the incident as "a tragedy for everybody involved" and added that his client received an appropriate sentence. Watt said that Ford was not bailed out of jail so she could begin a rehabilitation program while in custody. Watt expects his client to be sentenced to a military-type training program out of Elmwood County Jail that helps people battling drug and alcohol addictions.

"It's an extremely successful program," Watt said. "She's in the right place and I think justice is being served."

Hi Monkeys!!   

Believe it or not - I am glad to be home and I am actually going to make dinner tonight! 

We ended up with beautiful weather and everyone is sunburned!!  LOLOL

PT was the big winner and I did OK to.  I got a royal flush (all hearts) on three card poker which pays 40 to 1.  I got one last trip too!!  (too bad I don't play with bigger chips). 

Daughter leaves early in the AM for MI, so I have no kids for a few days!!!   

Just kidding, of course I will miss having no kids for a few days!!
