Past Time to catch up

Seems like since so many of us are on FB, we've sort of forgotten our blogs. Big brother, Jerry, says I need to update mine anyway, so here goes.

June 30--Took Toby in and had him put down. First time in about 18 years, I'm out walking alone. It's not near as much fun. Thank goodness Buster (and his owner, Sandy) come several times a week and walk me. And, I still make the rounds to all the dogs Toby, Dusty and I used to visit. Have had the offer to borrow a couple for walks, but it has been so hot lately I've held off on doing that. Also get to spend time with Sky and Cinder when their folks go away for a few days. I'm looking on PetFinder.com, but just not ready for a new one yet. Don't really want to bring another newcomer in to upset Tilly at this stage.

July 22 & 23--Had a second garage sale. Didn't do well financially, but sure had a lot of fun. Almost have the garage cleaned up again. Now, to find a place other than the attic to store the "seed" for next year's sale. :-) Have taken a lot of it to the thrift shop, but not all.

July 18--Ended up in the hospital for about 24 hours because I was dehydrated. Thought I knew better than that, and that I was drinking quite a bit. Guess too much of it was pop, though. Felt lots better after about 20 hours on an IV. Have cut the pop, and make a mark on the calendar everytime I drink 10 ozs. of water, so hope to avoid a return visit.

July 30--Got some plumbing done. Had pretty porcelain faucets in the back bathroom that were nearly impossible to turn--especially with wet, soapy hands. Have a one-handle fixture now that is easy to manage. Also got a new toilet in the main bath and shut-off valves under all the sinks just in case they're needed.

The Roadhouse Museum was open during fair week so people can see how it is progressing. Worked there one afternoon and another afternoon at the Humane Society booth at the fair. Gave me a chance to get in to the fair and buy my onion rings. Skipped the Elephant Ear this year.

Bill is doing about the same. Think if I'd get moving more I might get him moving more, but just seems so hard to stay away from those soft comfy couches, foutons, lounge chairs, etc. Working on it a little harder, so we'll see.
