Keep your eyes open

First of all, a hearty happy birthday to one of our favorites, U.S. Grant–or Cousin Lyss as we like to call him. Born in 1822, he would be 196 today. I think his 200th birthday in 2022 calls for a big blow-out party. Let’s put that one on the calendar!
I have to say, I was struck once again, when my DP posted a picture of our dear brother a few days ago,
how much he resembles our old cousin.
I mean really. Personally I think the wee laddie is headed in that genetic direction as well.
Time will tell…
And it’s Friday again. The weekend looms; the weather forecast is promising. Although it has been delayed several weeks, I think spring is finally here in flyover-land. The signs are everywhere!
My weekend plans have not jelled yet, and that’s okay. After last weekend’s full schedule, I am ready for some down time. It is really just a matter of choosing the wine and the movie to match, right?
And I love these guys:
They get it.

So many great things in this post, including family genes! I love the Madcap play on Cairo, too!
Yes, the Madcap boys know you can be just as chic and fun in Cairo, Kansas as in NYC!
Ditto, Susie! and that pic of the wee laddie. [heart eyes emoji]
Love the wines! What will you choose first?
The Dino vino looks like a great choice and lots of good movies to choose from!
I am leaning toward “Rio Bravo”!
“Seems like I oughta know you… didn’t the Mexicans used to call you boracheen?” “That’s nearly right, Mr Wheeler, only it’s borachón… means drunk.”
Wow, I’ve always been aware of a vague resemblance, but that is uncanny!
I know, right?!
