Ariel, checking out Grandma's glasses.
I am behind in blogging, I see.
Since I wrote last, Robert and I have walked up the Church
Road a couple of times. We go by the solar hut and up that
path and on up and up to the Church road. We then go up the
road to Sunshine because there is quite a bit going on up
there and we want to see what it is. The house we refer to
as Heath's house (he built it) has been sold to an outfit
from Boca Rotan. They have a dog rescue effort and have
moved their dogs, about 15 of them, to a fenced area around
the house. It is a large area, big enough for quite a few
dogs. Fifteen seems too many, but we'll see how it goes.
The dogs are driving Vernon crazy because he says they bark
a lot at night and the noise wakes him up. We are fortunate
because we can't hear them from here.
Sunday Martha dropped Ariel here around 11 AM. There was no
school on Monday so I had volunteered to take her. They had
plans for the afternoon which is why she came in the
morning. We had a busy two days.
Sunday, the weather was perfect. We spent much of the time
out doors doing odd chores, one of which was to clean up the
patio. She enjoys doing that, or seems to anyway. We also
played some games and played with the modern version of
paper dolls.
Monday, the weather had turned and it was in the 40s. We
made two trips up the road, one to visit Matson to visit the
kitty and see if the kids were there. They weren't.
Another, to go to the schoolhouse and try out the new swings
that Shannah and Charlie installed. They did a great job
and the swings are high enough so that Ariel's long legs
aren't too long. Again, in the afternoon we played games
and she played some on the computer.
Carl and Martha arrived about 5:30 PM all enthused because
they had just bought a dining room table, ten chairs and a
hutch. They'll now be able to seat everyone for
Thanksgiving!
