Whaz a yard sale?
Is flying a flag too much? Never!
I was saddened yesterday to see that only G and I had our flags flying in the entire neighborhood. Not only did I feel great sadness that the American flag wasn’t flying in front of every home, I felt embarrassed that these people would not remember such a life altering event with such a simple gesture.
I for one, will never forget. I will never forgive the abomination.
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.
We love these pups
Lucy and Gavin are still not out together all the time, we hope they will be one day. She gets a bit maniacal with him and that’s when he goes to his crate and gives me ‘the look’. He’s so sweet and takes her energy and abuse very well.
However, she exhausts him and once he’s in his crate it doesn’t take long for him to start snoring.
What a pair. I had them out in the yard together today and it’s a good thing I kept her on a leash. I think she would have thudded into him hard enough to break him.
Once he went inside, I let her loose and she bounded about the yard like a small, white deer.
In the meantime, The Curmudgeon said Gavin went directly to his crate and barked to have the door closed. He’s a nut.
This is the look you get right before he barks at you to close his door.
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!
Lovely day
Hurrah, cooler weather! Just what The Curmudgeon needs to feel a bit better after several days of hot and humid misery.
We hit a high of 78 and a low of 63. Perfect.
Although his spinal injury on top of his MS does make walking around difficult, the cool drier air makes a big difference in how he feels in general.
I like that I can wear my overalls in comfort again. I can work in the yard and the mosquitoes can’t get at my skin so easily.
The pups love the cooler weather too. It even makes 12 year-old Gavin perky and energetic.
Yummy…I hope
Yesterday G and I went to the farmers market. At one stand, I found a lovely chicken and had them split it for me.
Last night I brined it and put it in the refrigerator over night.
It is now on the grill with the smoker box going and we will eat around 6 tonight. Yum.
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!!!
