So, little Lopez and I did our early morning walk--Of course he did his business--and I carried it home. Gone are the days one could just leave "that business" on someone's lawn---I will have to call retirement Living, and have them check this weird oil stove---(or is it a gas stove?)--- In any event, there must be a pilot light in it, so it should be checked--I think)--
The new fence is beautiful--- lacking a gate which will be added soon--
It doesn't look like it, but it was very costly to build it--the wooden boards are expensive, and the 2 people who worked on it need to be paid.---- But, when I am out in the yard now, with Lopez, he will be safe!--Plus, now I can help dog- sit, Son#3 with is 2 dogs------
To-day it is Ava's Birthday--16 years old---son#3 daughter--- exciting for her--and a Birthday party to-night at their home --We will all go to wish her the best birthday ever!
ReMEMBER WHEN YOU WERE 16 YEARS OLD???----
LIFE goes on--and on-- and the best part is, we are coping--because we have to---We have to be stronger than we even know we are---
We ALL are truly amazing-- and we must remember that-- ---
Good Morning Lynda,
ReplyDeleteLooks like the fence is coming along. It will be nice for Lopez and you when it's finished.
Have fun at your Granddaughter's sweet 16 birthday party. Sounds like a nice day is planned.
Enjoy!

DeleteGood morning, sis.
ReplyDeleteIt stormed here last night. My weather app says it will continue today 'til 5 PM! We've had enough rain! I also saw a notification on the pc that we are to expect an full inch of rain tomorrow!
The fence looks great! How long will it be before they install the gate?
So you also have walking trails for Lopez and a 24 hour food store in Elliot? I thought those were new to you when you moved to Lakeville.
My 'adopted' daughters (which I haven't mentioned for awhile) are getting their large property all cleaned up, trimmed, etc. and sorting things inside in case they need to move. That will only be if T gets the supreme court to do away with same sex marriage. They have been married 12 or 13 years, and don't want to lose their rights. If they move, it will be Canada.
I have laundry in and will need to do one more load.
The birthday party will be fun for all. We used to joke, "Sweet 16 and never been kissed."
Now to the dishes in the sink. I'll be back to check later. {{{HUGS}}} Love, Maggie
The gatev is being installed this am---and we had a huge thunder storm this am too--Yu have adopted dughters?--Amazing!--Lynda
DeleteHi Lynda, I wanted to comment on this but didn't have time when I read your post. I went back a couple of hours later and it had disappeared. Now it is back.
ReplyDeleteThe fence is nice and will be wonderful when the gate is installed. I know things are expensive, but sometimes we just have to bite the bullet and do what is necessary.
So, you have a birthday party to attend. I am glad you are getting all of these invites from your sons.
The government ordered the flight attendants to return to work. The flight attendants are choosing to defy the order. Good for them. I am sure some of the flight attendants are male, at least that's how it is with U S Airline Companies.

Maureen I was happy that the flight Attendants stood up for whaat they believed thedy deserved--Good for them!--Lynda
DeleteIt's Kathy. I love the fence. We keep talking about getting a fence down one side of our yard. Not because we need to keep Daisy in but because the neighbor on that side is not very nice and watches us in everything we do! Just one time I'd like the privacy to go out in my yard without her coming out on her deck! But like you said, it is very costly. We went and visited our other 2 grandsons this afternoon - that was pure chaos! Those are the boys with Autism and they are hard to corral! But it was nice to see them for a bit and we got a Dairy Queen when we came home! I actually do remember my 16th birthday - that one was pretty special. My mom let me have a party. She made something she called Pizzaburgers which is still one of my favorite meals! Happy Birthday to Ava! Have a wonderful afternoon.
ReplyDeleteIt turns out that Ava is 18 yrs-- Gramma never knows these things--LOL--Lynda
DeleteHi Lynda: Fence looks good. Lumber got very expensive with Covid. Yes you better get the stove checked as I think the hot days are mostly over! Unfortunately. Enjoy the Birthday party. Brenda
ReplyDeleteIt was a lovely Birthday Party-- Lynda
DeleteMarti here. Glad to see a post! Nice that you are getting your fence done so fast! I remember having to wait forever to get ours up, when I was married. When we had moved into this house, it had a fence, but people could stick their hand through it. I guess someone stuck their hand through it, the neighbors, and unbeknownst to us, our scardedy-cat dog bit them. He had never bit anybody prior to that, he must have been scared. We had to (or rather, felt we should) install a tall privacy fence up. Before that, we were in another house and had your basic metal fence up.
ReplyDeleteHow nice, to go to a party. She's only 16 and going to go to college? She must have skipped some years.
Chilly? Ha, I wish! Here in Central Ohio it is still hot and will be, probably until October, but it looks like we will have cooler temps after next Sunday. Like, low 80's and even some high 70's.
Marti
Oh Marti--Ava , it turns out, is 18 yrs-- Gramma never keeps track!--LOL--Lynda
DeleteHi Lynda,
ReplyDeleteCool temps sound so very nice. Still brutally hot in St.Louis.
Fence almost done. Yes, your sons dogs can use the yard when they stay.
Happy Birthday Ava. She's going to university? Did she get to skip some years of high school? Enjoy the birthday gathering at sons house.
Marge in very hot St.Louis
Hi Marge-- Ava I found out is 18 yhrs-- I did not know--LOL--Lynda
DeleteHi Lynda! Hope you had a great day! Happy Birthday to Ava! I have a granddaughter Ava, too. Cooler in Ohio this evening. Have the fence guys to put the kind of latch on the gate that can be locked. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteIt is a beautiful fence--cost us quite a bit just for the wood--then I had to pay the 2 workers--buf--it is nice to have the fence--Lynda
