I took Tanis to the vet this morning for booster shots. He has decided he doesn't like the car and cried the whole way there. And since he is part siamese he is *loud*! But now we have his rabies collar bling (tag) and I ahve also been informed I should get his "cherries picked" (my phrase) before he is 6 months old if I don't want dominant male ( Read more... )

I am really happy to see the sun. I am hoping it stays dry thru tomorrow morning so I can do something with my horrendously tall grass. I am thinking I will weed whack, since the wet grass clogs up my mower and it is more of a hassle than it is worth. Lots of work to be done in the back yard and on the parkway, just need the weather to improve ( Read more... )

John and I went over to Bellevue and wandered the Square today. I hadn't been in a while and really enjoyed wandering with no agenda or shopping list. We didn't actually go into most of the stores, not interested in looking thru clothes or toy stores or for shoes or cosmetics. But we had fun poking into some specialty shops, picked up some nice ( Read more... )

Sunday June 20th, are you busy? I am going to have a bbq that afternoon and I hope you can come. Bring friends, bring family, bring something to add to the grill (potluck! I can't afford to buy everything.) Rain or shine, because my grill is under cover. Please let me know if you are coming so I can locate enough chairs for everyone, and let me ( Read more... )

I have started the process of getting some of grama's stuff out to new homes. Specifically, her care items. Everything from personal care supplies Hospice left because they can't take any of it back to her wheel chair and walker. I have someone who works with a senior-care facility coming tonight to pick up all the personal supplies I have so ( Read more... )

John got called into work today, so I decided to go take Abby to the Magnusun Park off-leash area. It has a little bit of beach just for the dogs where they can swim and get sopping wet, and I decided today was the day to introduce Abby to the fine art of swimming. Having never been there before, I stopped a few people with wet dogs and asked for ( Read more... )

I used to walk this dog, still work for the family. It's amazing that after so long they managed to get the urn back.

Garden is failing. The weather is starting to resemble the two summers we had in a row where it was cold and wet clear into July, then it spiked up to 90 overnight, then went back to rainy and cold a month later. The garden didn't do well those two years at all, and I am having the feeling we will see a recurrence of that weather pattern, unless ( Read more... )

Still here. Miffed at Windows which decided to reboot my computer for updates after I told it to wait til later. I was in the middle of something and lost my place. *grumble* I really resent software manufacturers who think they know better than I do when to update and what to install. Apple rams some damn bonjourno hardware sharing program ( Read more... )

I am now having internet connection problems with my desktop computer. John's works fine, wireless works fine, my desktop is very intermittent, and slower than, well, my patience threshold. John suggested trying my internet cable in my laptop, so I turned off the wireless connection, plugged in the cable, and everything is running spiffy. So, ( Read more... )
