Concern for the pet and need for new freezer and replace the tires too
Friday evening, we were enjoying some television when the four legged fur-ball named Rusty did his usual roll on his back and waited for his belly rub.

Thursday began as usual, the day was already hot and the comical if not but laughable results of bad boys and girls being stupid made for the usual fun morning reading.

Starting the weekend with a few chores, I decided against cutting the grass because of the lack of rain. Unlike many around me, I do not water just to keep things looking green on the outside. What water I use, about a quart a week for the inside and porch planets is the extent I [...]
