I had to laugh when I read about the comments from a member of the Russian Communist Party. He wanted to ban the new Indiana Jones movie in Russia saying it was anti-Soviet. He worried teenagers would be misinformed about the 1950s.
Apparently he thought the Soviet Communist party was warm and cuddly and didn’t want anybody to get the wrong idea.
Try telling that to the victims of Stalin, who arguably killed even more people than Adolph Hitler. It’s a bloody business trying to figure out who was the worse mass murderer.

And for all you wanting to know what’s going on with my puppy, here are a couple of pictures.
We decided against the boy dog, Spock.
He is so beautiful, but my husband wants a girl. He likes their personalities-a credit to the past two girl dogs we’ve had, and me, I hope.
So we waited till last weekend and a new litter and here’s our newest member.

And finally, we are in for a warm weekend. That means I can plant my bouganvillas. Tish Iceton and I have a kind of competition going on over whose will flourish. I have a secret weapon. I am going to over-winter mine at my dad’s. Not only does he have a kind of green house attached to his house but he has the greenest thumb I know. His poppies are big enough to raise the suspicions of the RCMP Drug squad!
