Mikes been and Mikes gone, full of lasagna. Jilly is fast asleep and smelling oh so sweet after her bath.
I feel like having a nap also full of lasagna. Life's good.

Happy Friday!
Laundry is almost done and finally balanced my check book with a huge error in my favor!! Score!! I deducted two bills twice so an added bonus for me. Cloudy day so no pool and Babe's new eye glasses are ready so after he watched the Cub's Game we will pick them up.
Anne, sounds like a wonderful holiday so just enjoy it nap or no nap. I don't think we are doing anything on our holiday July 4th with Lisa and kiddos out of town. Sad news though most of them got Covid again so trip home will be delayed. Her nephew had a bad cough when together at Disney World and then Lisa's mom got it. Charlie is sick but hard to test and now Lisa's dad has it. Lisa and Max's home test was negative but she is going for molecular test at Walgreens. The perils of traveling. Ugh.
Nothing exciting going on here but Babe is drinking tons of water and feels a little better with his dizziness. I am hoping the up in doze of medicine will also help him. I am tempted to clean my house but not sure my back will agree. Trying to get Bryanna here asap.
Have a good day all.
Sandy

Hello sweet friends! And a very special Happy Canada Day to all you Canadians, whichever in fact or spirit!
We have high thin cloud cover, not sure if we will see raindrops or not. But it is cool, and that’s nice. We keep getting intermittent warm muggy days that weigh down the body and soul.
We have our own celebration this weekend. 4th of July, our Independence Day. Looking back, and not really knowing reality of the moment, this is a huge rowdy country that would be difficult to manage. I can imagine England saying, “Oh for goodness sakes, let them govern themselves. They seem intent on controversy!” Ohhahahaha we are a nutty group here!
That’s my take on American history, I admit I am totally clueless.
As for our celebration, I am Digging out my red placemats ( summer time and July 4th) and tiny American flags that I place on a bowl on ice cream. I will fix salmon burgers for John. I think Damon will be sailing and then a picnic while watching fireworks. Andrea will be trying to deal with two very frightened doggies. Blinds drawn and music going and thunder jackets. Hope there will not be too many neighborhood fireworks.
Anne and Jackie: we have lots of mice, little green garden snakes, rats, frogs and toads, salamanders, chipmunks and squirrels galore! We must have a confused species of squirrels. They gather bits of apple from the apple tree, bird seed and sunflower seeds from the neighbors bird feeder and stash it under our deck. There is much running back and forth under our deck. This is not good! Also the neighborhood cats visit regularly. As well as John’s tool shed cat. So we are wondering about a humanitarian plan that we can all live on the planet together.
Lin, Sandy , Barbie and all other Sneakers….hello and stay healthy and safe.

It was early shopping for me and I was pleased to see more customers wearing face masks again now that our Covid infection rate is rapidly climbing. I read people are catching it outdoors as much as enclosed spaces so that’s new.
After a walk on the moors in fine drizzle, Linda dropped in for coffee and cake as well as to go over her email exchanges with the local authority. She is getting support from a couple of organisations that have legal departments but I can tell Mr Nasty’s continuing lies are upsetting her.
It was a brighter afternoon and I managed a couple of chores out in my garden and watch some tennis. This evening I watched Gardeners’ World and the presenter Monty Don again advised evening watering! After all the rain this past week my peas are forming and everything else sitting up while the water butt has filled to the top so I’m ready for the next run of hot weather!
Oooh, nearly lost my post so I’ll send now!

Jake went to the grocery store at the crack of dawn this morning to buy some fresh fruit and veggies that he was certain wouldn't be available at our usual pick up time on Sunday morning. He is taking his new low sodium lifestyle very seriously and shopping accordingly.
Barbie 0 -
I think Jake is very wise with your holiday looming up on the 4th BARBIE
.
I'm doing the same but in my case its because of this new variant which looks very serious. I was going to buy sand shoes for Jilly walking but have decided to buy the more expensive Nike which will last longer. Mike is going to our local barber shop and then will take me shopping and I'll also pick up seeds, fertilizer and soil at the garden centre and then move on to the pharmacy for things like Band Aid, face cream etc. I'm just about out of some things after such a long shut in.
Marks little family are going to MJs cousins daughters wedding at some golf club in the city. I with they weren't! Apparently you can catch the latest variant at outdoor gatherings and I also
read just now that only 1 in every 5 people haven't had Corvid and its variants. Mikes had it 3 times but the rest of us have been very fortunate.
Canada Day was lovely with fireworks loudly going off until 11 pm. Jilly Bean took it all in her stride as usual but I wanted to go to bed!

Happy Saturday! Beautiful pool day today which I plan on doing for a few hours before going to dinner with Cheryl and Marisa. I haven't seen my weekend pool buddies for a few weeks so looking forward to catching up. Bryanna is finally coming Tuesday to do my hair and clean my house. I would really do it myself but it really hurts my back. I start therapy on the 11th and started taking the Naproxen again for the pain. I make sure I eat something before taking it as it upset my tummy before.
I am taking my sleep aid instead of the muscle relaxer at bedtime but might give it a try again.
Anne, I am glad you had a great holiday and Jilly didn't get upset with the fireworks. Rob bought some calming medicine for Ewok because he gets very upset. I also told him to go downstairs and wrap him in a blanket so he feels safe. My guess is with Lisa and all of them being in Disney World and in Florida where most don't care about the virus, that is where they contacted Covid again. As long as it it mild and not life threatening that is all that matters. Enjoy your little shopping spree.
Barbie, Jake is a smart man and very cautious, proud of him.
Jackie, I am glad Linda is getting some support against that bully. Our numbers are still low, but best to stay cautious. Glad you got some gardening done and enjoyed tennis. My self watering containers work really well and my lavender, mint and African violet are doing wonderful on my balcony.
BTW. Did I tell you the landlord finally put in new floor boards on my balcony? He and his son did a good job. He also informed me he wants to raise my rent $300 but his son said $250 was enough and I said $200. It looks like we will be paying $250 more a month which doesn't make me happy. He does have a 3 bedroom first floor but that is $400 more than I pay now. I should have bought something when I separated but didn't so that is water under the bridge.
Patsy, I am deathly afraid of mice and bugs so I am glad I am on the second floor. lol
Lin, I hope all is well with you.
Have a good day all.
Sandy

Good day. Happy Saturday. It is hot and muggy here today. Just as 4th of July holiday weather is supposed to be I guess. We had some drizzle here yesterday but I have been watering my plants each morning. It is already over 80 degrees F. I guess that would be good pool weather Sandy.
Anne, I am glad you had a good holiday and that lasagne was enjoyed by all. Well, maybe Jilly didn’t get any. We have had private residences setting off fireworks each evening for 3 nights now with more to come. It isn’t legal to set off fireworks in our city limits although you are allowed to purchase them. Makes no sense to me. I am glad no one has set my house or fence on fire. 👍🏻👍🏻 I understand your concern for Mark and family. Yes, darn Omicron variants are apparently transmissible outdoors. Just what we need and no one is working on a new vaccine for these new buggers from what I’ve heard.
Sandy, I am sorry of the Covid outbreak in your family. It may be more likely to pick up a bug at a super crowded place but then there always was a spot to get colds, flu, sore throats, etc. I hope everyone will be able to recover and come home soon. Poor Ewok, does he have a thunder shirt or whatever they are called now? Sad for animals to have these loud booms going off. Not good for a lot of people either. I hope your back improves. How is Babe getting along? That is quite a rent increase. 😱 If you own something, there are always problems with fixing things and if you buy into a community maintenance fees/dues have increased a lot from what I’ve heard. Glad Bryanna will be able to stop by next week.
Patsy, lovely decorations for the 4th of July. It is wonderful how to think of all the details to make these days special. All the best to you and John and Katie. I hope you enjoy the long weekend.
Barbie, good job on the early shopping Jake! Yes, I think many things may already be unavailable due to the holiday. 👍🏻👍🏻
Jackie, poor Linda, will this upset ever end? Does Mr. Awful just love upsetting people? Apparently yes! I am still watering each morning and water at night only if things dry out so much during the day that they have wilted. I was taught the same thing as Anne’s M., watering at night brings on fungus and diseases in plants whereas watering early in the morning gives the plants all day to dry off, etc. Rain falls day or night so plants just have to deal with it right? So maybe watering in the morning is a North American thing. 😁
In my container garden, I still have lettuce, a few green beans from time to time, and now cherry tomatoes are starting up. Oh, and there are radishes and lots of herbs. It is still fun to check on the runner bean each day to see what is going on. Zinnias are blooming, celery and second crop green beans and potatoes are growing well.
I made a list of the birthday cards needed for the remainder of the year. I also pulled out my a Christmas card starts as well as what may be my Thanksgiving cards this year. Lots to do. I need to spread out my projects to try to keep it manageable. I have (mostly) finished 4 of the needed July birthday cards. Wahoo!
Well, take care everyone. Be health and happy.

Hello to you sneaker pals! It is cloudy again and muggy. Something must be coming….a shower perhaps? It will interfere with the fireworks display I am sure.
Before I go on, I want to dip my toe into this caution. I feel weird getting into something that is none of my business but worry about this endlessly. Sandy! I apologize if I am totally out of line, but I want to sincerely caution you about pain meds, muscle relaxers and sleep aides taken in close proximity. Don’t include a glass of wine! That is dangerous territory. Please check with with your doctor and check with a google query just to make sure. The truth is doctors are often trying to help you and have not had time to delve into your current Medical history. Just me being a worry wort, as usual. I care about you all and want you to be safe and healthy.
People in our neighborhood go together and purchase a huge amount of fireworks and plan a big bbq before. Everyone has a great time! However we cannot participate at all. All of our dogs have been frightened by the fireworks so we stay home, lower the blinds, shut the curtains, turn on music and have a thunder jacket ready. Katie explodes into a barking fury when she hears the big booms. She paces around and if we don’t help calm her down with hugs and soothing talks she drools and looks so heartbreakingly scared. Easy to want to stay home with her.
Again, Sandy, forgive me if I sounded like I was butting into your business. You are a dear sneaker friend and I was concerned about you.
Patsy☘️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🦮🧘🏼

No worries Patsy. As I said I am not taking the muscle relaxer just the sleep aid. I take the pain pill in the morning after breakfast but not at night if I want to indulge in a glass of wine. All is good, I am very careful to google what to do and not to do with medicine. Thanks for being so caring.

I had a lovely day today with dog walking, walking with my friend, walking alone, spreading bark in the yard, and riding my exercise bike while watching TV and knitting. The weather has been cool and dry with rain expected this weekend which will be good for my zucchini plants and Jake's tomato plant. Jake's daughter and her family are coming for a few days later this month. They have all been vaccinated and plan to take a covid test before coming to the house. Jake has a great relationship with his daughter but we don't have much connection with her husband and her sons so it should be interesting. They are staying at an Airbnb not too far from our house.

Shut out for no apparent reason but have managed to slip in the back door. We’re about to walk and it looks ready to rain but before I lose you all again wanted to say to Sandy, and I apologise if you already know this, there are two types of Naproxen. If you can, take the one that is enteric coated.
Coated Naproxen Tablets are used when non-coated naproxen tablets are causing gastrointestinal side effects.
Coated Naproxen tablets release into the intestine to avoid gastrointestinal side effects. CoatedNaproxen tablets come in strengths of Naproxen EC 250 mg, Naproxen EC 375 mg and Naproxen EC 500 mg.
For the couple of years I was prescribed, before my hip replacements, I was also prescribed a tiny pill that I took before breakfast and it coated my stomach. That was because the Naproxen was giving me severe stomach pain… worked a treat!
Hopefully catch up with everyone when we return from what looks like a soggy walk!
Jackie 🥰0 -
Happy Sunday! Waiting for Mass to come on TV but wanted to thank Jackie for information on Napro. Unfortunately mine are not coated so I only take them in the morning after breakfast and that doesn't bother my tummy. I will be at the pool today because it is going to be a hot day but low humidity. It was so nice to see everyone yesterday and they all offered advice with Babe. I took it in with a grain of salt because most told me to get home health care and I don't think he is ready for that right now. I do appreciate all their advice and will keep it in mind especially for those days I am going to be gone all day. I am just not sure how to do it so will have to research.
Dinner was great last night and biggest surprise came when Marisa went to pay for the bill. I said absolutely not but she was insistent so the waiter had us do scissors, rock and paper and I lost. I have never had a 17 year old pay for my dinner so I am very impressed. We took some pictures which I will post later but it is time for mass.
Have a good day all.
Sandy

I enjoyed yesterday immensely as well. Mike and I took off for our only mall and it was empty of people which meant I got super service. I managed to get the face foundation I wanted and Mike took off with my watch and had the long dead battery replaced and I got treated to that SANDY! No luck with the bra I wanted though and no luck with the sand shoes. They had what I wanted but not my size. So we carried on to Hikers Haven. It was bursting with shoppers, presumably, with this Corvid, lots more people are into hiking! No sand shoes, but I found a super pair of hiking shoes for Jilly walking in the fall. Clod hoppers which will anchor me to the ground and had 40 per cent off. Actually the whole store was 40 per cent off. Very pleased with them and no wonder the place was full of energetic looking folk amongst whom I presume stood out like a sore thumb. Didn't see anyone who looked remotely my age, lol. Then we carried on to a Mexican restaurant for take out chicken burritos which were delicious and again Mike treated me.
Now Mikes sorted out his difficulties with paying his ex he insisted it was his turn to pay me back a little for all the help I've given him the last 10 years or so. I told him that's what Moms do to no avail. Even Jilly had a bit of the Mexican, but then she is a third Mexican, lol.
The other good news is I'm swamped with beetroot babies AND the tomatoes are starting to form flowers. MJ is green with envy. Its her birthday today when she finally catches up with Mark in age for a month.
Our little group all seem to have enjoyed yesterday as well except maybe JACKIE, shut out. Not for long though. MFP doesn't stand a chance with our Jackie.
❤️ Anne.

Hello friends. Unfortunately my day yesterday, when I planned so many enjoyable projects in my garden, was hijacked because after a walk, I received photos from Linda of overnight damage inflicted on her allotment garden! Just as he had broken into my shed a week before I left my plot, then denied doing it, he has cut down plants on Linda’s when no one was around to see him. It is disturbing behaviour and worrying when there seems little to do about it and has left her feeling quite unwell. I called her and agreed to type and print off notices to pin up around the site threatening him with legal action if he continues before her legal team contacts the local authority and dropped them off.
Today, as I finished walking George and Betty on the moors I stopped to talk to someone, initially about our dogs, but recognised him to be the stand in Chairman of the local council and tried to get across to him how much Mr Nasty is upsetting their tenants. He did say he would talk to him but trouble is I know the man will tell blatant lies!
I’ve managed a few bits of gardening but then settled to watch Wimbledon…. It’s still going on!
Lovely photos Sandy and must say you all look relaxed and well.
A treat for you as well Anne and it’s nice to read you were spoilt. I’m afraid at some point those of us that have been so careful to avoid Covid will probably catch it because it won’t go away and keeps mutating so we have to maintain our avoidance tactics.
I do feel for you Patsy, with the worry of loud fireworks upsetting Katie because nothing I try to do to calm George in such circumstances ever works. I turn the volume of music up and talk quietly which of course he ignores! These days we British can barely take care of ourselves, never mind your vast country with all its complexities. Certainly, if we thought about your independence seriously, we would give a big collective sigh of relief!
Lin, not watering at night must be to do with humid air which, apart from in our city centres, we don’t suffer from. It’s nearly 8pm and I will water the plants in my greenhouse once some cricket highlights on tv finish.
My outdoor peas and mange tout are slow to flower but hopefully a few days of sunshine will encourage them.
A perfect day Barbie, the sort I love!
My red Pak Choi is now ready to pull so I’ve enjoyed a stir fry this evening but salad leaves are beginning to go to seed and the newly planted seeds won’t be ready for a couple of weeks which means a gap! ☹️
Time to water and feed the tomato plants. Everyone enjoy the rest of Sunday.
Jackie 🥰

Reading Jackies post I went back in time and there you are SANDY and BABE and family. Lovely photos. I find one can easily miss things if one posts but another Sneaker sneaks in ahead. lol.
JACKIE I think you and Lindas "arch enemy" quite frankly has a tile loose. I hope you and Linda will avoid him at all times. It's a very frightening situation for two ladies to deal with. Please be very careful dealing with this character. I don't say this lightly love, people who damage escalate to worse things.
Anne, a rather concerned Anne.0 -
Hello. Same routine this morning. I watered all my plants. I picked some green beans and talked to all the plants. I am not certain my encouragement is doing much. 😁 We have a heat warning issued for tomorrow I believe, Alexa said it too fast while I was in another room. So I will be watering plants, morning and night. 🤦🏼♀️ As as usual, I attended online church services this morning.
Sandy, thanks for sharing the photos and I see some Red Sox fans for sure. Now where was your Red Sox gear? But they let you sit with them. I like the watch you are wearing. Is it an Apple watch with that nice band? Yes, must not take every word to heart when people are trying to give unsolicited advice.
Jackie, are there cameras in the area of the allotment? They won’t do anything to Mr. Awful I presume, without camera evidence and/or an eye witness. He is incredibly mean. Poor Linda. The world is just full of mean, angry people. It makes me very sad.
Anne, a lovely day of shopping. Oh, some durable shoes. Yes! The entire store was 40% off? Is it going out of business? It must have been nice to get out and get a few things accomplished and some browsing. I haven’t done much browsing at all. I still miss it. Treats are nice!
Patsy, well, the neighborhood fireworks continued last night. Where do people get the funds for this stuff. Last evening, we had about 5 hours of bangs and booms. Not continual but enough so I was unable to sleep. I suspect it will be the same tonight and tomorrow night as well.
Barbie, oh my gosh, company! You don’t mention company often. I hope you and Jake enjoy the visitors
Try to be safe everyone.
Oh yes, I am messing about with cards again. Today I am trying out some different inlays. The way things are going, I will be experimenting for a loooong time. 😄

Lin, nope it is a Fitbit Versa 2, I am too cheap for an Apple Watch. I just bought a new band to dress it up. Lol1

Yes, company is rare for us. In the last several years our only company has been the friend who walks the dogs with me, the neighbor who brought us her house key because she is out of town a lot, and repair people for cable TV, dishwasher, furnace, and computer.Jackie what a shame about the nasty man at the allotment.

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸Happy 4th of July, everyone! The bombs are bursting in air, by dawn’s early light! Katie is discussing the outrageous cheeky neighbors who dare to celebrate! John is….being John! Oblivious to the neighborhood goings on. I admit to rather enjoying the fireworks. If they didn’t upset dear Katie, I would buy some myself.
Our weather is oddly cool. Overcast with a marine layer. It will most likely burn off this afternoon. It feels strangely like fall or early spring. But with summertime mugginess.
We all need a haircut here. Including John. He loves getting his hair cut because I give him a complementary head/neck/shoulder massage. Katie’s grooming will be a process again. Much hair, toenail trim and then a sponge off for her with doggie shampoo-hair conditioner towelettes.
We are going to watch a very old movie tonight. Yankee Doodle Dandy with James Cagney. His tap dance scene toward the end is world class amazing. The movie makes me feel patriotic and how could anyone not just love James Cagney?
salmon burgers on shredded lettuce and baked oven fries, not sure how this will be received by John.
Be happy and brave!

Good morning Sneakers. A pleasant warm day with high cloud cover which means I can work outside without having to smear myself in high factor creams!
After Anne’s awful news that arrived in the dreaded “three’s’, I experienced a dreadful 5 mile car journey to the farm supply store after walking the pooches yesterday. Less than a quarter mile from where I had parked I came very close to being side swiped by someone reversing with trailer attached from a side road so obviously couldn’t see me coming. I had to swerve to avoid being hit and blast my horn to tell him off because it’s illegal to reverse out on to a main road but more importantly, George and Betty could have been seriously hurt. A further 2 miles down the road a large black Mercedes pulled out from the same side without pausing to check if it was clear and I don’t know how I managed to avoid a collision as my road was narrow so barely room to swerve round him! A driver in a car coming towards me looked more shocked than me! As I drove into the store car park I was genuinely thinking I was lucky to get there in one piece so was furious when a huge pick up truck pulled out of a parking space within a foot of me driving slowly past him without checking and I’m sure if the driver could lip read he would have been shocked! My dashcam will have recorded the journey but I’m not sure even 24 hours later if I want to watch! Perhaps switch the sound off so my bad language won’t embarrass me!
I spent the rest of my morning with a very upset Linda and I don’t think I’m the only friend to suggest she walks away from her allotment plot because her mental health is deteriorating rapidly. It’s her decision and I will continue to support her.
Lin, she had talked to one of her sons about setting up a wildlife camera in a nearby hedge just in case but hadn’t got round to it because she doesn’t like to imagine just how disturbed the man can become. She thinks he might be autistic but I’m sticking with my Ted Bundy theory!!
Today is another one full of drama. I went early to the top moors with the pooches where we saw Heather with Bella waiting for a friend who sometimes joins them so off I set on my own but 15 minutes later I thought I could hear Bella’s name being called. I climbed to the top with my 2 reprobates and was about to continue a wide circle when I realised Heather was still calling so retraced my steps and found Heather and her friend desperately looking in the long bracken where Bella had apparently disappeared. Half an hour later with more dog walkers joining the search and me telling George “find Bella!” so he ran around in excited circles with no idea what or who he was looking for, Bella appeared. Her harness was covered in mud and twisted round her front legs and shoulders so must have become caught up or chased a rabbit down a small hole, just like Alice in Wonderland!
I’m now home and sipping coffee, wondering how come my life is never dull!!
I’m sure Sandy wasn’t heading out yesterday to July 4th celebrations but did worry when I heard of yet another mass shooting. Sandy, I hope your friends and family are safe and well.
Is that one of your Huskies Lin? What a great picture.
James Cagney Patsy! An amazing star who made some brilliant movies. I will have to search out a few because most modern movies I’ve watched recently on Netflix have left me wondering why the producers bothered!
🙋🏻 Hello to Anne and Barbie.
Jobs at home piling up but I plan to watch Wimbledon!
Stay safe everyone.

The fireworks here weren't bad but enough to make Bessie very nervous. First she moved next to my side of the bed, then wanted to get into bed, then kept moving around above my head. I played music on my phone and got her settled amidst many pillows and kept my hand near her. We lay awake and listened to music for about 90 minutes til the big fireworks display ended. I kept the music on as smaller bursts of fireworks continued for another 90 minutes. When we went out for our 1AM walk, it was quiet and she went back to her own bed. When I woke up at 4, she was on the floor next to the bed so there must have been more noise. Barbie 1 -
JACKIE, JACKIE, JACKIE what a horrible day! I get in a sort of clairvoyant mood occasionally and you sort of confirmed my fears! Stay home today!
I think Linda should give up her plot as well and think you were very wise to do so. Does she have a garden at home like you?
AND Its the same over here. TERRIBLE drivers and every day some major accident mainly from speeding. Without meaning to be racist an awful lot are East Asian drivers who just ignore the rules of the road. Mike had a yelling spell on our shopping trip at one blissfully unaware lad who drove through a STOP sign.
Last night we had fireworks yet again BARBIE. Americans over here, or just would be American citizen Canadians?
Jilly Bean took it all in her stride but we are both walking around like zombies today.
Its actually raining here, but won't do much good being mainly drizzle.
SANDY. of course I spent most of yesterday hoping and praying you and yours are Okay. Honest I'm getting to the stage of almost cancelling the internet and burrowing my head in the parched earth.
Helen in Australia hasn't replied to the worried email I sent to her about the floods in Sidney and area, and the evacuations.
At least PATSY and LINs day seemed normal. No fence on fire from stray rockets for Lin and haircut for John. I think fireworks should be banned to the general public along with guns, but then I'm an old meanie. To think I could buy them in the stores when I was a child! Can kids still purchase them in the UK Jackie?

Happy Tuesday! My family is safe but my heart is broken once again at another mass shooting. It was not close to me but 6 people are dead and dozens of others injured. All done by a 22 year old with an assault rifle. When will these politicians learn? How many mass shootings and people have to die before something is done to change these gun laws? Why does anyone but military need an assault weapon? I know you all agree with me but I swear the end of the world is coming sooner than later and that terrifies me because I want my grandchildren to grow up in a peaceful world. End of Rant!!
Babe has an appointment with the ENT this afternoon but his nephew is coming at 11:30 for him to sign some papers for the sale of the buildings he is part owner of. I of course want to be showered and dressed before he arrives.
I haven't heard from Bryanna yet if she is coming today or tomorrow to clean and do our heads, Babe included. I do hope it is today because we both need haircuts and I need color.
Jackie, I am so sorry you had so many close calls yesterday but so grateful you and the pups are safe.
Poor Bella she must have been scared to death if she was caught on something. Today is a good day for you to stay home and just be thankful all is well, I know I am.
Have a good day and keep staying safe.
