Monday Meanderings - 5.5.14

This past week has been wonderfully cool with low humidity; seriously primo patio-sitting time! We know it won't last, but certainly have enjoyed this brief interlude.

Speaking of brief, for a couple of days I connected the Anderson line of my family tree to Sir Lord Justice Edmond Anderson - Queen Elizabeth's (no, the other Elizabeth, back in the late 1500's) chief jurist. Among others, he tried Mary Queen of Scots and Sir Walter Raleigh on behalf of the Crown. Impressive dude, but alas, further research proved that the family tree I found with this link was more wishful than factual. Fame is so fickle.

I've mentioned the neighbor's yappy dog before, the one that barks incessantly as it goes for a daily walk. Now there is a new wrinkle; the dog barks incessantly and the neighbor yells continuously, "Shut up! Quiet, Queenie! Quiet! That's not an improvement.
