I couldn’t have said it better.
On the question of being childless I always respond that we just weren’t meant to have them. Some very selfish people have kids so to me that means I have proof that us being without children does not mean we are selfish.
We have dogs. 
I read this article today. I love it!

If a vacuum no longer sucks is it still called a vacuum?
So after my Garry Vacuum blew the hell up the other day, I had to start looking for a replacement. Opinions abounded as to which one I should buy.
I researched and hunted through all names, brands and types. My criterion was we have two short-haired dogs who shed a lot, some rugs, stairs, and plenty of bare floors.
I have a husband who is careless about things that fall on the floor so the vacuum also needed to be tough.
My friend E had a young man do some research for me too.
Seems we both came to the same conclusion as to what vacuum would be most suitable. Although I am not happy with bagless vacuums, it looks as though the Shark Navigator Lift-Away Professional Upright is what we will get.
You all have a good one!

Whaz a yard sale?
Before the yard sale
Frantic, yes, I am frantic. I only have until Friday night to decide what goes and drag it to the back porch so I can easily set it up in the yard Saturday morning.
I hate doing yard sales. If you are coming to this one, keep in mind that I will dicker on prices. However, do not expect to get the good stuff for next to nothing. I’d rather take it to Goodwill and have done with it.
If you arrive before 9 a.m., you will wait. If you come after 4, you’re too late. As I said before, I hate yard sales. Therefore, I do them my way.
Whoohoo!
We had an absolutely scrumptious day yesterday! 72 degrees for the high and dropping down to 60 degrees over night. Couldn’t ask for nicer weather.
If only The Curmudgeon’s spine fractures weren’t so damned painful for him, I’m sure he’d be a lot happier. I miss the happy part of him.
Lucy was hell on wheels all day living up to her nickname of Lucifurry. Gavin had a ton of energy. However, once I sent them both to bed, all I’ve heard from the crates are snores.
I do wish I hadn’t spent the day doing indoor projects that needed doing because I could have done a lot outside. The fact that it looked as though it would rain any minute all day was all that kept me indoors.
Today looks about the same temperature wise. Time to drag out the recycling barrels and my clippers.
You all have a good one!
Mash up
Found out that Verizon is working in our area and that is why our internet connection has been so effed up lately. So far our TV is fine whereas G’s is not. We’re half a block apart for heaven’s sake.
I was in trouble with the pups yesterday. We were out of dog cookies! G and I went to one of our nearby pet stores to stock up and then I took her out to lunch.
If I miss a post or two in the coming weeks, don’t worry just blame Verizon.
You all have a good one!
WTF?! No cookies??!!!
Moved the yard sale date…
We’re pushing the yard sale forward a week. I don’t like the idea of being outside in extreme heat and thunderstorms.
I need to polish (or not) the adjustable brass floor lamp before then. It should sell better all nice and polished. However, I am basically lazy so we’ll see.
Some Halloween props need to make the trip down from the attic. Yes, I am selling some of my older ones. Anyone interested?
I’ll need to pump up the tires, start-up the riding mower, and back it out of the shed. Once it sells I can store my garden tools more efficiently.
Get your Christmas shopping done early, never used brand new with case guitar!!!
Big web builder
We have a new orb spider. (This is a picture I took of one a couple of years ago.) Our new one has decided to build her web every night from our porch roof to the wall between our porch and the neighbor’s. It’s a big web and we are being very careful of it. I told her she can stay there undisturbed as long as she doesn’t come inside my house.
What I love is orbs tend to take up most of their web during the day and rebuild it each evening. Thus, the mailman doesn’t walk into her web every day when he steps over the wall.
You all have a good one!
Another day…
Whew! AC is back on. Too hot and humid for The Curmudgeon. Looking at the next several days of forecasts it seems we’ll be keeping it on for a while too.
For as bad as his back is The Curmudgeon was in better spirits yesterday. I’m hoping a visit from one of his PD dispatchers will brighten his day today. She’s stopping by for some plants.
That reminds me, I’d better set my alarm. 😉
