Birthday wishes and a rugby match

A blue thistle at Wye, England

Today I received a lovely birthday package from Blue, which prompted me to post this photo in her honour. Merci bien, dear Gillian, for your thoughtfulness and friendship!

This is also my longtime friend Linda’s birthday, who along with her husband Omar, visited us in April. She’s a news reporter in the US and I hope they’re letting her off work to celebrate. Happy birthday, Linda!

After handily defeating Namibia in their last game, France faces a crucial test tonight against Ireland. Whichever team loses probably will be out of the Rugby World Cup competition. Allez les bleus!

Hope you all have a lovely weekend ahead! When you have a spare moment, check back for more posts and photos, as well as the final installment of the hilarious observations of artist Leau Phillips at the New Mexico State Fair. They don’t call it the “Land of Enchantment” for nothing!
