Miscellaneous Stuff

It’s been a catchup kind of day.  I have changed the bedclothes, did two loads of laundry, dusted, fed me breakfast and lunch, fed Penny breakfast and lunch, played with Penny, talked to Jana twice on the phone,  and read Donna’s blog.  I also sprayed roundup on the weeds around the birdbath (I can do that now since I pulled the worst of them), sprayed roundup in a couple of other areas also, put the hummingbird feeders in  the shed, and filled the bird feeders.  The birds are eating from the feeders in the backyard but not the front.  I even put fresh seed in the front feeders.  Not sure what is going on there.  Now it is time for a break until I decide what to do next.

This afternoon was not quite as ambitious.  I took out the trash (I think there is a song that mentions that), brought in the mail, fixed both mine and Penny’s supper and did dishes.  Also sprayed some more roundup on the weeds.  I’m done for today.

Surprise – I had my first trick or treaters here tonight.  Kevin and Renea had a Halloween party so they all came over and knocked on my door.  Of course, they took pictures.  When I get a copy I will post it. 

Today is paperwork day, such as balancing my checkbook.  It won’t take all day.  Maybe I will work on some of my craft projects.

Monday morning we had more than five inches of rain.  I know this because my rain gauge holds five inches of rain and it overflowed.  Anyway, because the roads were so bad and we had flash flooding I cancelled my eye doctor appointment.  It is now rescheduled for when Jana comes down.

At some point on this same day one of those lady bug/beetles got into the house.  I wish I had a moving camera to film Penny.  She was absolutely beside herself chasing it.  She was jumping in the air, jumping on top of furniture and spent a lot of time staring at the ceiling or wherever it would land.  She definitely entertained me!

Tuesday I ran a couple of errands.  One of the places I stopped was Petco where I bought Penny food and a new toy.  The new toy lasted about five minutes and she was no longer interested.  I thought she would really enjoy it because it was something Rodney played with and enjoyed.  So much for what I think J

 Also did my laundry.  I leave on Friday for the annual Prime Timers (seniors) trip.  This year we are going to Dahlonega, GA.  Last weather report says it is going to rain all three days.  We will see.  I hope not.

 Kevin and Renea will be taking care of Penny for me so I don’t have to put her in a kennel.  I am sure she will do fine.

I am sure you are looking forward to Jana coming. Hope it didn't rain all the time you were gone with the Prime Timers. But then, Marilyn, we can't do anything about the weather! Take care.
Love, Arlene and Bob

It's me again. Commenting on the two days I missed! Hope you and Renea are feeling better. Those sinus infections can be a real pain. (Literally!). Take care of yourself. It is Veterans Day today. Thank you to all our Veterans. Please tell Kevin we love him and all the Vets who keep and have kept our country safe. I will go to Veterans Park today at 11:00 for the ceremony.
Love, Arlene and Bob
