Oh Happy Day!

We're very excited on this first day of Spring because we're going to a very special party....

Surprise!! Connie's turning 60!

Old Player-Cheerleader Reunion.......... Connie has adopted the "Red Hat" garb inspired by that famous poem that aspires total rebellion in later life from the sobriety of the responsible years of earlier stages of life..........

A big hug from sister-in-law Peggy..........

And those crazy Capshaws..........

Congratulations to Santa Fe's Teacher Extraordinaire!! We hope this is your best year yet!

WHEN KITTIES GET TIRED....

When well-loved kitties get tired, they sleep--wherever they please. Like on Mommie's jacket....

Or on Mommie's wind breaker.....

Or even on their toys.....

High, high in the sky!

Final Recommendations For Springtime Reading...

Are you missing your girly fix of obsessing over shoes, giggling over the misfortunes of others, and commiserating that all the good men are taken? Then these are the girls for you! They can be more catty than those New York girls and make enchiladas too...........

Che Guevara would cry his eyes out if he could see what "the revolution" has wrought! This study follows the course of the upheavals, gives in-depth portraits of the petty dictators, and teaches the samba in a few easy lessons............

Throw away all those Howard Hughes biographies--the final chapter is yet unwritten!! Much like Elvis before him, Howard has managed to successfully "fake" his death so that he could "live a normal life" (?). These photos and new information have come to light showing Howard as disheveled and cantankerous as ever, but still with an eye for the lovely ladies.....

Your heart will break for this brave trio of two little chicas and one lonely chico and their epic struggle for opportunity......Despite Daniel's pathetically shabby and out-of-fashion clothes, Judy's obvious mental disorder (thinking she is the Queen of Spain) and Yanie's tragically malnourished legs, they defy all odds to fight , and fight until they finally reach their American Dream!--the Lower Middle Class!! These are the original Slumdog Millionaires!

ARE YOU BORED? READ THESE BEST SELLERS.....

The real story of how Salvatore, er, VITO Coreleone became the "boss of all bosses" in the New York mafia.....

He had us all panting when he was "The American Gigolo", but this story depicts that all that glitters is not gold in tinsel town..............

From dunce hats and chewing gum placed on the nose in the thirties, to rapped fingers and "teacher's paddles" in the fifties, all the way to bayoneting of non-responsive students in English class in the sixties, this documentary exposes it all! Is it no wonder that the elderly gentleman in the cover photo never made it out of elementary school!

WHAT THE TRENDY FOLK ARE READING THIS SPRING...

The tale of Chiara's exciting excursion to Japan--all the romance of Cherry Blossom time....

A story of mystery and torment--both physical and mental. The perfect read for lovers of the macabre....

F. Scott Fitzgerald originated this tale of aging backwards, the Capshaws are living it....

MORE RED HOT NEW READS FOR SPRING....

Old vigilantes never die, but unfortunately, neither do they just fade away.....

Shakespeare combines with Freud to analyse yet another colossally dysfunctional family....

"I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.

I do not think that they will sing to me."

T.S. Eliot

HOT SPRING READS

Diana Capshaw's sweeping romance novel......laced heavily with heaving bosoms, ripped bodices and alabaster thighs...........

"The Judge" gets serious about solving the unsolvable.............uncovering the unrecoverable.....conquering the unconquerable...etc. etc.

That sassy upstart Sisi takes a page from Lady Godiva and "rides" her chariot (a rather adorable MGA) through the thoroughfares of her town--naked--to protest that cruel, unfair Roadrunner tax............with some hilarious results...........

THE SATURDAY CROWD

It's another lonely Saturday around here because everyone is out at Garage Sales and lunch....

Grandma Alice is not in such a good mood as she eyes the menu....

She perks up a little though when she sees the wine list.....

Artie is chillin'............

And Donna is mellow...........

A penny for your thoughts.............

Maybe a little less for yours....

Diana's self-portrait taken in the Danny technique. And a good time was had by all!!

The whole group is in a jubilant mood...........
