My sweet yellow Labrador Retriever named Abbey
has turned 14 this month. She is also known as "girlfriend" as
she is my couch snuggler and gives me the gentlest little kisses each night
before bedtime.
Her registered name is Dutch Hollow’s Steal A Heart, JH and was born on 12-11-2000. She was my 2nd Labrador Retriever and a member of a pack of 4 labs.
Always a hard worker, obedient and eager to please, Abbey has been a joy to live with over the years. She loves small children, retrieving waterfowl or just retrieving anything for me. Always a good companion and traveler she has visited 6 states with me.
She was my yellow lab male (Casey) sweetheart and they grew up together only being 2 years apart in age.
Thanks for all of the good times over the years and I'm glad we have grown old together.
Abbey's cake is made from wheat flour, diced apples, banana, shredded carrots, 3 nut butters, oil, egg, water and baking powder. The icing is a thin layer of whipped cream cheese.

Darlene Love's last performance of Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)
Set your
DVR because this Friday 12/19, Darlene Love will sing "Christmas (Baby
Please Come Home)" for David Letterman one last time. She has announced
that after this performance she will retire the song and not perform it on TV. The holiday tradition started in 1986, and
Love has spent the last 27 years performing the holiday classic on Letterman's
shows, "Late Night" and now "Late Show."
Darlene
Love is 76 and was born on July 26, 1938 and she sang lead on
a string of Phil Spector-produced hits from the early Sixties, including “He’s
a Rebel,” “He’s Sure the Boy I Love,” “Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah,” “(Today I Met) The
Boy I’m Gonna Marry,” “Wait Til My Bobby Gets Home,” “Why Do Lovers Break Each
Other’s Hearts?” and the seasonal classic “(Christmas) Baby Please Come Home.”
In addition, she sang background vocals on numerous other hits that Spector
produced for his Philles label, including the Crystals’ “Da Doo Ron Ron,” the
Ronettes’ “Be My Baby” and the Righteous Brothers’ “You’ve Lost That Lovin’
Feelin’.”
Here is
a link to YouTube and a compilation video http://youtu.be/RfurmGiKZ5k
put together by CBS showing her performances on Letterman’s show over the
years. Watch the stage and notice over
the years how the numbers of singers has grown to include choirs and other
backup singers.
Do a search for Darlene Love and read about her musical
career and her resurgence in the 1980s.
The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame has a great biography of her as well as
several other sources.

RESPECT for the American Flag
You didn't see this prominently broadcast on TV and as a lead story as it should have been - RESPECT for the American Flag by National Guard members. The photographs tell the story.
