Happy Birthday, America! We got the greatest gift from Sarah Palin. She quit! But does that mean she’ll be returning in the future? She’d be nuts to try that.

The boyfriend and I are relaxing on the balcony. We’ve recently begun watching the birds fly around. The boyfriend bought some binoculars and a bird guide. We have been identifying several of them. We have 11 identified so far. We are keeping track of them on my iPod Touch. That’s what we’re doing in this picture. Did you notice my red plaid shirt for the holiday?

In the process of moving the blog to a new web hosting service, I lost the picture that goes with this post.
