I’m sick…

…but I love playing cards so much that I don’t want to go lay down and rest.

Puppy Play

Well, they aren’t puppies anymore, but to me, they’ll always be “the pups.” The best time to catch these two playing is in the early morning when they first wake up from a long night’s rest. Plus, it gets hot in Tucson, AZ very quickly! Watching these two (sometimes my oldest will even play along) […]

#Repost @history (@get_repost) ・・・ On #ThisDayinHistory 1954, the first U.S. civil defense drill was organized and put into test operations in 54 cities in the U.S. and Canada. The drill simulated a situation in which the country’s major cities had become the epicenters of nuclear attack. Alarms were sounded in selected cities, and residents were supposed to evacuate the streets and seek shelter. Even President Eisenhower took part, heading to an underground bunker in Washington, D.C. The entire drill lasted only about 10 minutes, after which life returned to normal. Well…sort of. Nuclear drills were a common part of American life during the Cold War and only faded out during the 1980s. Schoolchildren and adults alike watched Public Service announcements and participated in nuclear attack drills to prepare. Have you ever done a “duck and cover” drill? #DuckandCover #ColdWar #Nuclear #Drill #1954

#Repost @history (@get_repost) ・・・ On #ThisDayinHistory 1967, The Supreme Court struck down U.S. laws banning interracial marriage in the case of Loving v Virginia. Richard Loving married long-time family friend Mildred in the summer of 1958. But, because he was white and she was black, their union was illegal in their home state and they were arrested for violating Virginia’s Racial Integrity Act in the middle of the night that July. Richard spent a night in jail before being released on a $1,000 bond, Mildred, however, was not allowed a bond. and spent three nights alone in the small woman’s cell. When she was finally released, the couple pled guilty and the presiding judge, Leon M. Bazile, gave them a choice, leave Virginia for 25 years or go to prison. They left and would spend the next nine years in exile. Neither of the Lovings appeared in court during their eventual Supreme Court trial, but Richard did send a letter to the justices that read, “Tell the Court I love my wife and it is just not fair that I cannot live with her in Virginia.” The judges agreed. In a unanimous decision handed down on June 12, 1967, laws banning interracial marriage were deemed unconstitutional, overturning them in 16 states (although Alabama would only repeal its anti-miscegenation laws in 2000). Every year on June 12, people across the U.S. celebrate the unofficial holiday of “Loving Day,” honoring the anniversary of the Supreme Court decision. #LovingDay #History #SCOTUS #LovingvVirgina #USHistory #CivilRights

#Repost @history (@get_repost) ・・・ On #ThisDayinHistory 1982, Elvis’ Graceland opens to the public. As a child growing up he’d promised his parents that one day he would earn a lot of money and use it to buy the family a big house. He made good on that promise in 1957, when he bought Graceland for $102,500. The mansion, was originally built in 1939, and remains the centerpiece of the estate, although it has been considerably refurbished and embellished over the decades. Elvis, his parents, wife Priscilla Presley, daughter Lisa Marie and a collection of friends and relatives all lived in Graceland most of the time until Elvis’ death in August 1977 at the age of 42. #Graceland #Elvis #ElvisPresley
