10 Downing Street, the locale of British prime ministers since 1735, was originally three properties: a mansion overlooking St James’s Park called the House at the Back, a town house behind it and a cottage. The town house, from which the modern building gets its name, was one of several built by Sir George Downing between 1682 and 1684.

I miss good Italian food. There was a place we would go when I was little, In Beaumont, that had the best Italian food, I can’t remember the name of it anymore and it’s been closed for years. I’ve never had it’s equal. It was the real deal.

This reminds me of when my beautiful alabaster freckleless skinned DIL visited me in FL and we went to the Gulf. She went out in the water and I was concerned, because of shark sightings at the time, about keeping an eye on her. It turned out to not be a problem. She looked pretty much like the middle guy and the other 30 or so people she was in the water with looked like the other two. LOL

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.

First thing I did was get a gun 😏.
Second thing I did was try to figure out what it meant.
Turns out someone fired on police and is barricaded in his mini van on the freeway about 10 miles from here.
7 miles of freeway closed.
I have never seen this particular alert before.

No idea what they’ll do to get him out. I clearly heard 2 gunshots in some video that an observer captured. They could just remotely break the windows of the van out and toss in some goodies but apparently it is unknown if he has a hostage or not.
