Small things amuse small minds, I'm told

You find beauty in ordinary things.

I'm a day late, but on March 2, 1836, Texas declared its independence from Mexico. For twelve days, Mexican General Santa Anna laid siege to the Spanish Mission, the Alamo. On March 6th, four days after Texas declared independence, Mexican troops scaled the mission’s walls and 183 defenders were killed, including several Mexicans who had fought for Texas independence. However, the Republic of Texas won its independence on April 21, 1836, with a final battle along the San Jacinto River.

Gen Santa Anna traded the territories, Texas, for his life. In the battle at the river his forces were overwhelmed in 18 minutes.

Military history is a big deal at a military college...

I’m giggling a lot at these fortunes, mostly because my friends and I like to play a very juvenile game where we add “in bed” to the end of every fortune.

I’ll soon be looking to find beauty in my ordinary reindeer sheets and pillowcases… “I’ve never noticed how bright your nose really is, Ruddolph…it’s ok if I call you Rudolph, isn’t it?…such a strong name…”

Barriehie the oranges in Hawaii are so delicious!
Here on the mainland, it's a crap-shot if they don't make you pucker up...

My drink of choice as a young adult was Grapefruit Juice with Vodka.
