See You in September...October????

Yep, today is the day she leaves to go back to Arizona. This is my first year not taking her back, she doesn't need me to go with her to unpack or move anything. I have been in AZ in Aug for quite a few years, the last 4-5 with Amanda so it feels weird. I will miss her! We had a lot of fun this summer. I have cleaning, sorting and painting to finish. I let things go because we needed that time to do "stuff". We bought too much and spent too much money...no regrets. I know today will be hard. Tomorrow will be better, and so on. Pretty soon we will head back to school. Double ugh. It is so hot the month of September, it drains you. Looking forward to October and hope I can fit in a trip to AZ for a LONG weekend. Time goes so fast and the busier you are, the faster it goes. Lunch this week with the girls here, Bunco, finishing Art room, finishing the upstairs cleaning and sorting and hopefully fitting in time to make new valences for my room as I have been unable to find anything I like to go with new bedding. I know that Amanda is looking forward to returning and being with her great roomies (not without drama mind you) but I also know she shares in my wishing it wasn't 2000 miles and hard to visit on both sides. Hopefully by Thanksgiving.........After yesterday's drama. We had enough cash to pay for the boat trip but none for the 3.00 parking. Ended up in a ramp and paid 12.00 because I could use a credit card! Then, Amanda checked through 3 pieces of luggage, 1 suitcase, guitar and golf clubs. The third piece cost $125.00! After the paddles revived me, we called UPS and they can ship one of the pieces for under 50.00 and have it there in 4 business days. Since we were leaving for downtown's boat trip, it will have to wait until Monday. The airlines will refund the 3rd piece after she has traveled. Guess you learn from your mistakes, not your successes! It is what it is. Safe travels my love...the countdown begins!

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...
