For Mission 24's theme: TASTE. I live in Los Angeles where there is no shortage of haute couture and I've always been behind the times with the trends. Some of them I get, others I don't. Like say, when I venture out these days EVERYONE is wearing a fedora. Men, women, children, it's crazy! I mean, a fedora on the right person is old school and classy, but on every person in the room, it's cheesy. So I'll continue to dance (albeit badly, without rhythm) to the beat of my own drum. Screw the fashion trends. There's no accounting for taste. ;)

please excuse Boomer's derriere...Caleb is over at the fence barking at a neighbor's dog.Sydney in the middle, is maybe the oldest..and his age is showing..at 14 years, we've had him since he was 4 months old. We don't know "B"'s age, but she's probably at least as old as Sydney. I'm so thankful for the yard and the deck - they love and enjoy it all so much. Nice day today..I raked leaves and pretended that I don't work. I'm on vacation for a few days...this is my idea of the "perfect cruise".
