1. Hanging out with classmates from way back when:
And reliving high school memories:
2. Plants still blooming (you didn't think I wasn't going to get my plants in this week, did you?):
4. Wimbledon. And records being broken. John Isner & Nicolas Mahut: Longest match and most aces in the history of the tournament. The match spanned 3 days, and rain wasn't to blame this time. 11 hours and 5 minutes. Ridiculous!
5. I'm not a Clinton fan by any stretch of the imagination, but I did think it was very cool that he spent so much time in the USA Soccer Team's locker room after their win over Algeria on Wednesday. The article mentioned that this song (Represent by Weezer) was playing in the locker room:
I love watching Dempsey dancing about 30 seconds into the video. Just makes you feel all patriotic, doesn't it?
I have to put in this blog I found this week:
Never Growing Old
Java has a section on her blog for over 40's, and it's called (oddly enough) Over 40 Bloggers. If you fit into that category, stop by and see her, leave a comment, and get on board! She also has Follow Friday 40 and Over. Sorry, you young chickies...you have to be 40 or over to participate!

Wow! those training exersises are amazing--such dedication to win. I loved the slo-mo shots of the head-butts and the goals. Too cool. That video was the sum total of my World Cup participation to date. Maybe it's not too late for me to start watching some. :)
Found you on Friday Follows. I'll be back. Come see us on Steadfast and enjoy the ride. Rosemary
I hope your back feels better soon!!!
