            I think spring is finally here. Nice evening. A little cloudy, but warm and dry. My tomato plants look great! Most of them are outside now, but still in pots. Some will go in the ground this weekend. Others will go in grow bags and big pots.

        Morning news had a piece on a 72-year-old Air Force vet who’s walking across the country to raise awareness of veteran’s issues. With 22 vets a day suiciding a day, some now right at a VA facility, with no attention being paid (so what else is new?). I’m not sure what his walk will do but I’m envious of someone at our age who can.

            He is an AF vet, after all, not like they wasted a lotta time doing military stuff. I can say that if I’d have stayed AF instead of transferring over to the Army I’d have fewer broken up places today. Then again, I’d have missed a lot of fun.

    Just saw these online at Amazon…yeah, everyone to his own taste…but they’d make me laugh if I saw a guy wearing them at the beach…

    But, then, these would be comical, too, though they weren’t in 1898…

    Or this…

    I actually like this outfit, shoes included, from the late 20s… ….http://www.honeykennedy.com/content/uploads/2012/06/honey-kennedy-dorothy-sebastian-striped-bathing-suit-01-500×625.jpg

    ‘Caine Mutiny,’ ‘Winds of War’ author Herman Wouk has died

    Herman Wouk, the versatile, Pulitzer Prize winning author of such million-selling novels as “The Caine Mutiny” and “The Winds of War” whose steady Jewish faith inspired his stories of religious values and secular success, died on Friday at 103.

    Wouk was just 10 days shy of his 104th birthday and was working on a book until the end, said his literary agent Amy Rennert.

    Rennert said Wouk died in his sleep at his home in Palm Springs, California, where he settled after spending many years in Washington, D.C.

    Among the last of the major writers to emerge after World War II and first to bring Jewish stories to a general audience, he had a long, unpredictable career that included gag writing for radio star Fred Allen, historical fiction and a musical co-written with Jimmy Buffett. He won the Pulitzer in 1952 for “The Caine Mutiny,” the classic Navy drama that made the unstable Captain Queeg, with the metal balls he rolls in his hand and his talk of stolen strawberries, a symbol of authority gone mad. A film adaptation, starring Humphrey Bogart, came out in 1954 and Wouk turned the courtroom scene into the play “The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial.”…

      Stella,
      “From the beginning you hated the Navy. And then you thought up this whole idea. And you managed to keep your skirts nice, and starched, and clean, even in the court martial. Steve Maryk will always be remembered as a mutineer. But you, you’ll publish your novel, you’ll make a million bucks, you’ll marry a big movie star, and for the rest of your life you’ll live with your conscience, if you have any. Now here’s to the *real* author of “The Caine Mutiny.” Here’s to you, Mr. Keefer.”

    I’m making Pork Marbella tomorrow. I made the marinade tonight and put the pork tenderloins in to marinate. I have never made this dish, but I’ll let you know how it turns out. It’s a sweet and sour concoction, originally made with chicken, and features prunes, green olives and capers (and the meat, of course). Kind of old fashioned, but sounds yummy.

    lilbirdee12’s prayer:

    Our Heavenly Father, Your children come to you tonight to ask for healing and peace throughout our country so that we may return to being One Nation Under God. Guide us to be leaders in Your Kingdom, spreading Your Love and Salvation to all. Forgive us our sins and deliver us from evil.

    Lord, we ask for a blanket of protection over all our troops and law enforcement who serve to defend and protect us. Bless our representatives with the strength and wisdom they need to achieve the path You have chosen for us.

    Please place Your Guardian Angels of Protection around Donald Trump and Mike Pence and their families as they seek to lead America back to You.

    Grant us patience, Lord, as the evil ones try to anger us and cause us to fall.
    Spread blessings over Israel and Netanyahu.

    We humbly ask that You please comfort those who are grieving and in pain.
    Thank you Father, for Your Love and the gift of Life.

    In Jesus name, we pray. Amen.

    A prayer for Justice Kavanaugh and Col. Flynn:

    Prayer to St. Michael

    St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle;
    be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
    May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
    and do you, O prince of the heavenly host,
    by the power of God,
    thrust into hell Satan and the other evil spirits
    who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

    In Jesus name, we pray. Amen.
