Hi Adele,
Hope that Jhonny is doing well today. I won’t even ask about the back splash.
I hope that you get to go out to dinner tomorrow. If I haven’t been out in a while I start getting antsy to do something.
I’ve been home all week watching over Rocky. They put him on heart meds last week-one made him like a zombie-now last night we found out from bloodwork that the other made his kidney numbers go way up so he has been taken off of that and maybe we have to put him back on the zombie meds. Have to call the vet back this morning. I know in the big scheme of things compared to people being sick and dying the life a dog sounds trivial but he has been part of our lives for 17 years and even though we know we will lose him eventually(probably sooner than later) it still breaks your heart knowing what might be coming. After all 17 years is a lot longer than a lot of marriages last. Anyway, after last week it was just fun to go over to Jenny’s yesterday and hear the laughter( and whining) of the kids. Piper had just woken from a nap so she was in rare form-talking even more than usual. If words were money that child would be a multimillionaire. lol Being around the kids is life affirming and I needed that.

Hi Adele,
I can’t believe that you are still having such cool weather. Where is your summer hiding. Everyone will have to wear a wet suit to go in the pool.
I hope that Jhonny is feeling better today. Poor Steph must have been over wrought to say what she did. That was kind of scary. It’s a good thing that you were there to point out the thing about raising her kids. It’s always a wake up call when you have your first experience of how life can turn on a dime. Anyway, I hope things are getting back to normal. Now if you could only get that kitchen back to normal.
It is interesting that there is a special mower to mow a green. I guess the grass there is made so as not to interfere with the motion of the ball. Just like everything else each game has it’s own subtleties that you don’t think about unless you play yourself or know someone who does.
We are supposed to be getting a couple days of 90 degrees-I’ll send some your way.

Hi Barbara,
I hope that you’ll come back and let us in on what is going on with you. I imagine it must be something with the Joey/Lisa situation. I hope that is leading towards a resolution and that Joey is sticking to his guns so that they can both move on.
With all the coming and going of the kids do you guys end up taking care of all their dogs too? I think Ellie was Neal’s and Ruby was Lisa’s and Joey has -is it- Dodger? So what happens to all the dogs when everyone moves around? Just wondering.

Hi Colleen,
Greg suggested the same thing about how the neighbors should make it up to him by giving him some steaks. lol It used to be that maybe the dogs barking inside the house would scare animals off but Rocky is deaf and doesn’t hear anything and even his bark is very soft now.
Phillip Watson is the blond guy that sells Cottage Farms.
How is Kiley liking the job? I wonder if she will get to see some of the films for free now. That would be a bonus.
We missed the first tball game with both Lachlan and Piper playing on the same team. That will be interesting.
I was thinking were you ever able to find a new gastro doctor now that you found a new family doctor that you like? I remember about 15 years ago we kept finding doctors that we liked and then they kept on moving away. That was so frustrating! Thank goodness that the one we have now has stuck around for awhile.
Well it looks like we might be getting some rain today. I need to get to the grocery store this afternoon as we are running out of food here. I hope it will not be pouring when I leave the store-it seems like that always happens.

Hi Adele,
I hope Jhonny is doing better today. I’m wondering if he should still get the tonsils removed after he is feeling better. As someone who has suffered lifelong battles with tonsillitis that is the first place that I have trouble when I get sick. My brother and sister both had theirs out as children but when it got around to me they weren’t doing it as much anymore and I’m probably the one who should have had it done. Anyway, first and foremost I hope the antibiotics have kicked in and he is feeling better.
I knew I had to explain the ball washer thing right away-it is just funny saying it even when you know what it is. lol Those golfers!
Anyway, Greg finally talked to the guy next door yesterday evening and he just happens to have a Dad who works at a local golf course so he is sending him some pictures of the green and seeing what he suggests to try and fix it. I feel so bad for Greg as he has put many hours into making and manicuring it and he even has a special mower to cut the grass on the green. it would be like if you finished a piece of needlepoint and someone came in and cut it up with a scissors. The hooves of livestock can just churn up the grass and especially on a piece like the green which is probably watered everyday just about.
I hope the installers will come early next week and just get the job done so you can get back to normal.

Christine,
I will be praying that Scott finds a new job quickly. I hope that his Mom can sell her house and relocate to a more reasonably priced place as soon as possible.

Adele,
Prayers are flying toward Massachusetts right now. Praying for a speedy recovery and that the PO is kind about him having to take time off.

Hi Dianne,
I think the photo that they are talking about was on a Quacker Facebook site. It’s a closed site so you probably wouldn’t be able to see it unless you are a member.
I agree, I think the parade participants always prefer cooler weather. Especially those in heavy band uniforms. I always feel bad if people are marching in 90 degree weather.
I read about Philip Watson the other day on the Q boards. What a surprise as he looks so healthy and in good shape. I guess sometimes that doesn’t make a difference.
It is a good idea to have the surgeon that developed the technique do the surgery. I would imagine that they know how to do it best. My Mom did the same thing when she needed a repair for an aortic aneurysm. She flew to Houston to have the man who developed the procedure do the surgery.
I see that you love roses. The new dishes are quite lovely. It must make everything that you eat off of them taste extra special.

Hi Adele,
Aren’t kids funny? Aizen was excited because he found 2
worms but disgusted by dirty pool water. Brent just put up a pool and sent me a picture of him floating in it. He was very excited about that and I was jealous. lol
You tell those back splash people that you need your kitchen back to bake cookies for Aizen! How can they even imagine that someone would want their counters and back splash done with a three week gap in between. Poor planning.
Speaking of being mad. Greg is beside himself. Greg noticed this morning that his ball washer. (golf term ladies) was knocked over and one of his golf flags was knocked down and one was broken and he walked over to his green and found it full of hoof prints. Well he is livid! And just sick about it. He has put so many hours and time and money into that putting green and now it’s like starting all over. He went next door but I doubt the guy was home as I think I remember hearing him leave for work really early normally. Anyway, the calves must have gotten out again as I don’t think the guy with the steers behind us puts his out in the pasture that they can escape from anymore. There’s nothing that can be done now but that guy is going to have to check his fences and make sure they are in good repair. Poor Greg-I feel awful for him.
So JJ is into origami now. I hope that you were a good student. I remember the boys used to make those stars-I forget what they are called now-it seems like it was something to do with ninjas or something.
