From the Capitol....

Slept until almost 9:00. Had a hard time sleeping so I ended up on the couch. Took a long time to get back to sleep. There is a reason they call it ouch with a c! It is cloudy and darkish. Can't tell if it is raining. Spent yesterday on the mall. Took the metro in after walking to the bank to get $ due to "lost" debit card. Spent an hour or so at the American History museum. Julia Child's kitchen was crowded! Walked to the Air & Space and had a $12.00 lunch! Then to the Natural History Museum where we spent the rest of the day. I love looking at the rocks, gems, baubles etc. Also the stuffed animals are cool. You get to see real things you would never otherwise see except on tv or photos. Around 5:00 we walked back to a very crowded metro and were back here by 6:00. Poor Andrew had driven to Baltimore for the day and had to fight Friday rush hour. It was late when we walked to the restaurant "VAPIANO" . It was crowded! Today we talked about going to Mt. Vernon as the guys have never been either. It is $15.00 a person. Guess cause all the Smithsonians are FREE! We'll see what the day brings eh? Hope we get to see the jets landing at the Reagan park! It is what it is!

Delta Dog Days 3

 We have not been able to leave her alone for more than a few minutes.  UGH newborn.  She is a sweetheart and not bothered or barking at other dogs. After I worked at the Thrift shop I took her up to the pool deck and locked the gate.  She is so small  she got through the rungs of the deck.  ðŸ˜³  It is what it is.  She is so sweet but so is needy and so challenging.

Delta Dog Day 4

 Beyond belief, we both got to sleep upstairs in our bed all night!  She could not scale the new gate and settled in her crate in the kitchen around 2:00 AM.  Otto gave me the night but after she settled, he came upstairs and she did not bark or whine all night!!!   I came down after a shower, took her outside on her lead and then fed her.  Back upstairs to do my hair etc.  I heard "something" and came downstairs to find that she had opened the pantry (that has a magnet closure on it for dog/children safety) and had a bag of marshmallows on the floor, not opened thank goodness.   I blocked it with a chair but removed anything that she could get to if she opened it again (within her reach).  NOTE:  new plan for pantry.   Later in the day we were sitting outside with her and she picked some cherry tomatoes and ate them (yes I checked on Google that they are NOT poisonous for dogs).  After dinner with friends, she snatched a corncob an...

School's out, teacher let the fools out!

No more pencils, no more books, no more STUDENT'S dirty looks! What a group I had this year, eiy yie yie! I can honestly say if I never see some of that bunch again, it will be too soon. Fun party last night...too tired to sleep! Nice feeling to sleep in. ADK party this afternoon, piano lesson (may have to re-schedule), picking up new car in Ann Arbor and going to Amanda's 2 baseball games. Nice video chat with Andrew & Matt last night. They get so silly! Brian landed safely in L.A. at 2:09 our time. His plane from Philly was delayed over 3 hours. All day to go 5 hours sucks, but he is safe! Congratulations Matthew Sandoval on your middle school graduation. Have fun with your family. I cleaned out 2 filing cabinets of old 4th grade files and old materials we don't use any more. I think I filled 10 boxes to re-cycle. I didn't get my bulletin boards done for fall (who knows where I will be anyway!) or my books sorted (paperbacks). Administrative whispe...
