I envy all who have a dog. Our sweet old dog, Schooner, passed away last fall, just inside our front door. We were beside him when he passed away. We still miss him. We hope to find another dog when the time is right. ❤️4

Pip: Hope Yogi recovers quickly.
Spent lots of time in the garden today clearing out our spring planters ready for summer display. I have loads of bulbs drying out in the summerhouse. Almost forgot about my Parchment Craft Group after lunch.
Weather has been quite warm with short, heavy downpours, not that it made much difference to the very dry soil. We are deciding what we want to put into the planters for summer.
🥳🎉 Cheers to all those celebrating.
Virtual (((hugs))) and 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 for those who need them. Especially those who have poorly family.

Managed to get a post out on Instagram for pre-publicity. My book is more or less finished, but I will give it one more read through. I won't publish it until I get back from the cruise. Don't want to feel rushed.
My elder son has started a podcast on YouTube called 'Food Glue'. He sent me the link. I got a couple of heads up during the two episodes, but he did not credit me with sparking his interest in food. Grrrrrr! You can listen if you are interested.
Rang my friend L this afternoon. She's still deep in mourning, but her hip seems to be improving. Tired and weepy, and not eating properly. It's hard.
I think I might have a UTI. Hope I'm wrong. I'm afraid I had some French cider this evening, to accompany the dinner of black pudding and fried apples. It was all heavenly, but I hope the UTI hasn't been made worse.
Love to all, Heather UK xxxxxxxx6 -
Rita- yes Homer is 16 and ,Toms moms dog that I had to take to the vet years ago was a shih-tzu same thing. Covered in fleas after my MIL died ,my BIL couldnt care less my FIL wasnt in any condition to take care of the dog and so I ended up the day that Tracy,Kyle and Taliah moved out to Ohio i saw them off then had to drive an hour and take that poor dog to be put down.. my poor FIL was in tears..
We kept her ashes at the house and when my FIL passed we buried them with him as was his wish.
Tom wants all of the tins of the cremated pups buried with him lol4 -

Heather ~ I looked for Food Glue on Youtube but didn't see it.
For the last two days I have vacuumed all the floors, mopped, and cleaned the wood floors in the den with Pledge. This entailed moving all the furniture around and now my back is feeling it. Earlier, I started cleaning the wooden cabinets in the kitchen but haven't finished. It makes me wonder if husbands ever notice how the floors get cleaned, the laundry washed and put away, dinner cooked, and the dishes washed and put back in the cabinet. End of gripe!

Pip — Sending good wishes for Yogi. I hope he is doing well and is getting better and better. ❤️2

Worked today and soup kitchen tomorrow. The guy to do the annual maintenance on our heating is here right now and after he leaves we’ll probably go cut the weeds. Update: this was yesterday. He was here about 2 hrs. It usually doesn’t take that long, but he was new. Wouldn’t surprise me if this was his first or second service call. I did get the weeds trimmed, tho.
I want to do something by the drains in the backyard so that it for one thing looks nicer and another so that it’s easier for me to mow. Getting Vince to do it is something else! Anyway, I finally got him to purchase the stone. It’s a first step. I do want to get this work done before we can no longer do it and also before it gets too hot outside for Vince. The heat doesn’t bother me as much as it does Vince. On the way home stopped at the vet’s office to get some meds. I’m thinking that tonight I might take a walk to the dollar store. I am working on a jigsaw puzzle. One of the ones that I don’t like. Every piece is the same. But on the back you have to be sure that the letters and numbers line up exactly. Well, it’s hard to turn the puzzle over so I’m thinking that if I put some poster board under it, I can flip the puzzle over and be sure that the letters and numbers match
Anyway, plan to work tomorrow then want to go to WalMart. For one thing, I want to make gazpacho and I need the veges. For another thing, every purchase at Sam’s Club you get something like 5% back. Well, if you buy gas in June on a Saturday you get like double the points. So I’ll also buy gas.
Oh, the delivery truck was late getting to BK today. I know Jerry was not happy that he had to stay to put away the items delivered on the truck and I was finished. So I came home, changed, got dinner ready, then went to the soup kitchen. He seems to have this aversion to getting the pickles out of the refrigerator for me. Why, I really don’t know. I had to ask him three times today. The third time I said that I really didn’t want to have to ask Molly (the manager), I’m only asking him then because it was before the truck came and I know once it came he would be busy. Grumble, grumble. But I just let it go in one ear and out the other.
It’s a beautiful day and I would really like to go in the pool, but I think it’s more important to get Vince started on the stuff by the drain. He is usually OK once he gets started. He wants to get it finished. It’s supposed to be nice the next few days so I’ll probably go in the pool then.
Lanette – I usually like a sneaker that has more room in the toes. I find Avia to be good. Also Ryke. My bowling shoes are a men’s. Most bowling shoes are too narrow for me.
Lisa – Vince is just the opposite from Corey. The slightest little pain and he’s right at the doctor’s. I’m the one who will work thru the pain. Not Vince. I have a high tolerance for pain. Sometimes I wonder if this isn’t a problem. When I get a crown, I never get novacane. None for a filling either.
Wake Forest Baptist Hosp. Called. Seems they made the appt for my ear. I thought they’d have asked me if that day was good (it is).
Anne DE – good luck to your uncle
Carol – one time I used Pledge on a small section of my floor by accident and I thought it made the floor very slippery. It did eventually wear down, tho. I really do wish there was some sort of wax that you can use with the Swiffer. Now I have tried using Rejuvenation and putting it on the floor with the Swiffer. Worked out OK.

DH is taking a good nap. 💤 We expect a visitor later this afternoon. ⭐️0

Michele ~ It wasn't Pledge furniture wax. It was Pledge gentle floor cleaner for wooden floors. I applied it with a damp Libman's mop. The floor look great! Now, I need to do the hall and entry way. Can't do the dining room and living room because they are covered in my DH's assortment of stuff that takes up too much room.

Well I got into the cookies I bought for a guest and blew my calorie limit by several hundred calories. Oh well. I will have to be good this next week. I guess that pushes reaching my goal weight out a week.

Well…. We got a call from the vet and they told us that they found that yogi had an arrhythmia, aka irregular heat beat and they suggested postponing the surgery til they could find that he would be okay to go under to do the surgery. They wanted to do an EKG and a chest X-ray.we told them to do the ekg AND OPTED OUT of the chest X-ray. We told them to go ahead with the surgery (because if we didn’t the mass would still continue to keep growing and they may have to end up taking out more of his jaw cuz it got bigger). SO, kirby got emotional and said that he didn’t feel comfortable going on the cruise now knowing that he has a heart issue even after his jaw issue has been dealt with. He wasn’t comfortable going on a cruise worrying about yogi while on the cruise. I old him to go ahead and cancel the cruise if he wanted to. He said he would rather be with yogi for the rest of the time he has left and take him (and us) to an ocean front place for a week instead.. right now it’s 4:03pm PST and i gotta call the vet to c how his doing and c if i can pick him up.14

UPDATE ON YOGI:
Well….

SO, my husband got emotional and said that he didn’t feel comfortable going on the cruise (we were scheduled for an Alaska cruise in October) now knowing that he has a heart issue even after his jaw issue has been dealt with. He wasn’t comfortable going on a cruise worrying about yogi while on the cruise. I told him to go ahead and cancel the cruise if he wanted to. He said he would rather be with yogi for the rest of the time he has left and take him (and us) to an ocean front place for a week instead.. right now it’s 4:03pm PST and i gotta call the vet to c how his doing and c if i can pick him up. Just called,came out of it ok and I can pick him up at 5:pm PST.7 -

Pip I'm sorry about Yogi's heart and your cruise prospects. Glad he came out of surgery okay.
My uncle came out of his pacemaker surgery okay. But they are keeping him overnight.
