June 29

Today my dad would have been 93.  He has been gone 33 years, more years than I knew him.  Hard to imagine that I am older now than he was when he died.  I have tried very hard to NOT do the things that were so harmful that he didn't realize he was doing.  You know, very little meat, lots of exercise, NO SMOKING, watching the BP and cholesterol .........so far so good since I have another birthday in 2 days.   

Today it is suppose to storm.  Would like to hit the pool if the sun will stay out long enough!  Had Melissa's shower yesterday in Dexter at a wonderful restaurant with the best salmon salad I have ever eaten and cake (which I normally do not eat) that was filled with a raspberry jelly, and frosted with buttercream and shaved white chocolate....this is why I don't eat desserts....ooooo!   Beautiful shower.  Rain spoiled my nice clean car on the way home and we never got a drop here.   

Went to the Spree to work the beer tent last night.  Did a 4 hour shift serving drunks!   LOL   What a bunch on characters toward the end of the night.  Was a tired puppy and did not go to bed until after 12:30.  surprised myself and slept until almost 10.   Off to another shower today, Mel's but it is at least local and then a group of friends are over for dinner and the fireworks.  Better get busy...it is what it is and it is BUSY!!!!

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.  😳  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...
