Happy Tuesday from the Smokies

Hello Everyone.  Eileen, a HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY for you!!

It's cold and rainy here today.  Brrrrrr.  What a difference 24 hours makes -- yesterday morning, it was sunny and warm.

We have a mole in our grass.  We set a trap last week and the little bugger tunneled around it.  So, hubby re-set the trap in a new location yesterday.  We are praying that we get it before it does further damage to what is left of our lawn.

Our dog is allergic to flea meds so we're trying a new approach.  Our vet said to order Nice and Soft from Avon and spray it on.  It's a bath oil that repels mosquitos and the vet and we are hoping it also repels fleas.  The problem is that it leaves a greasy residue.  I sprayed it on my hands and then rubbed the dog's sides, belly, chest, and back and neck.  He HATES it.  I imagine it's the fragrance he doesn't like. 

I baked chocolate chip cookies for our local police officers yesterday and we delivered the package this morning.  It took me four hours to bake four double batches of cookies.  The officers take them by the handfuls out to their cruisers so they go fast.  And, I had to make sure there was enough for both day and night shift.  I usually make them oatmeal cookies but thought I'd change it up this time.  Towards the end of the baking process, my puppies were dragging.  Between timing the cooling cookies on the cookie rack and timing the ones baking, I only had a couple of minutes down time in between cycles. 

I hope that you have had a good day.  And, I wish you a restful and relaxing evening and a rejuvenating sleep tonight. 

Hugs and kisses.

Cindy P.
