Mosquitoes; What's The Point?

     I love summer.  However, one of the major pitfalls for me is the wretched mosquitoes.    In the spring when mosquitoes first start to appear, I could swear I can hear them sing and dance, the moment I step outside.  I currently have 15 bites.
     It was one of the lovely things about living in Southern California; very little humidity= no mosquitoes.  In the 8 years that we lived there, I got 1 bite!  And I am certain that little suckers traveled oodles of miles just to find me.  Maybe I should feel flattered ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

A Word About Hard.

No special meaning, just a nice summer photo ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

      Where to begin? 

     As you might have guessed a few days ago, money, or rather not enough money was gnawing at my thoughts.  I, for the first time ever, included in a post, at the bottom of the post a gentle reminder, that Sadie's Gathering is solely mine, and as such I do not make any money from it, no matter how often I write, etc.  As often happens, now I'm feeling more at ease with my situation, though essentially nothing has changed, only my point of view.  

     I talked with a couple of friends.  As we hashed for a few minutes I was reminded, 

NOBODY HAS A MONOPOLY ON HARD.

Happy 4th of July!

Renaissance Rebunzzle! The Wonders of Renaissance!

Happy Birthday to William Shatner!!! 

     He is so nice!  When I managed an Italian restaurant in LA, in 2002, he and his wife came in just a bit earlier, to see if we could serve them before the dinner schedule began.  I stated, I was pretty sure, but I needed to check with the chef.  Long story short, the chef, Ace agreed, and we served them, before our dinner time began.  

     Mr. Shatner thanked me, and insisted on giving me a $50 bill, because he stated it was thanks to me, he and his wife got to enjoy a wonderful, delicious dinner, without people (fans) chiming in.  He and his wife were so friendly and nice! 

     Considering he's now 94; but still SO KIND! 

     I added this bit, because I think it's a contributing action to Renaissance!  

     Thank you, William Shatner! 

     Now y'all can read on...
