Sat. Aug. 12
From an almost temperate MO,
We slept well last night (or at least Jim dozed well) and the two human adults set off about 7:00 to see if we could do the 1.25 trek. It was almost cool this morning and the humidity was a lot easier to cope with. We did manage the full trek and even though we were soaking wet when we returned home, I think Jim managed quite well - maybe better than I did.
After showering and having our morning oatmeal, we settled in to do laundry and have children on our laps. I decided that I would tackle the kitchen counter areas and by now all items have been removed at one time and a thorough cleaning has occurred. I dumped a few items that I knew were several years old and I actually have a little more counter space. I usually do this project when Jim is in Canada, but that was delayed this year.
We had fresh tomatoes with turkey bacon for lunch today - a marvelous treat as far as we are concerned.
Jim thought there were parts of the yard that needed mowing so I got the riding mower out and placated him with the few areas and then got the push mower out, I started it, and mowed a few areas with it. I must admit the yard looks a little better and there is the possibility of rain in this coming week - so it is nice to have the yard ready for rain.
We have read quite a bit today and also have enjoyed the girls. I did get out briefly late this a.m. to check the weekly farmer's market - looking for a good eggplant, but none was to be had. I didn't see too much else there that we needed as we have a good supply of tomatoes and I am getting enough green peppers for us to eat.
We don't have anything specific planned for Sunday other than getting a little packing done for our Monday and Tuesday outing. I also need to get the girls' items together to take to the vet. We learned with the Westies that dire consequences happen when we don't take their usual food even though it had been indicated at the vet's that we didn't need to bring any. Actually Abby would probably indicate that NO dog food needs to be purchased as she thinks she would fare quite well on human food. She really doesn't get that much - the girls clean out our oatmeal bowls in the a.m, but there really isn't anything left - and they get a very small tidbit of bread at noon if we have a sandwich. They do love their crushed ice though and any time Jim goes to the refrigerator to get some - as soon as they hear the noise they are quickly running to the kitchen -hoping some drops.
Be safe.
