After a joyous week dealing with travel, wheel breakdowns and little sleep -- we are still fighting off a high fever that comes and goes. It's unusual when we both get sick at the same time...but it's happening. Whoever feels the least worst** lets the dogs out, does the laundry and makes up the bed. (Clean, wind-freshened sheets are much nicer than sweaty ones.) The truck and trailer will have to stay packed until we can fight this flu off.
**'Least worst?!?' Shame on me.
Meanwhile:
A frightening attack on US military alllmmmooost happens -- in Detroit.
The Nottoway Plantation, built in 1859 in Louisiana, is gutted by fire.
Why Billy Joel went missing for days, while married to Christie Brinkley -- and Brinkley's gratefulness for "soft dirt." (She says it saved her life.)
Firecracker shrimp -- maybe a nice appetizer for Memorial Day? (From Khin's Kitchen)
Some amazing historical costumes...even a few worth copying for wear today.
Chicken taco soup, thanks to Mavis at One Hundred Dollars A Month. A bunch of cans and a double handful of chicken: soup! Hopefully this will vanquish the flu germs.
A classic farm table/desk -- built from pallets! This is an oldie but worth repeating from Funky Junk Interiors.
Cassie Ventura's husband takes an extremely courageous stand after his wife's humiliating and explosive testimony at the P. Diddy trial -- he supports her! Oh that more men would do this...
Acting legends -- 22 of them -- that aren't (or weren't) that fun in real life. Hmmm...some big names here.
Oh, and Journalism won the Preakness.
Have a better week...than we did, at any rate.
