Clean dogs mean a happy mom !! As with Fergus, they will both find something to roll in within the next 24 hours. Made another three gallon batch of doggie safe weed killer ( 3 gallons white vinegar, 6 cups Epsom salt and ¾ cup Dawn) to spray the rocked areas with landscaping around the house and along the fence. Our wild vines are so prolific in the fall !!! If we don't keep them at bay, they are so hard to get out of trees and off of the chain link fence !

Should be 85 degrees and sunny when we get married this afternoon. We'll drive to Syracuse to visit my mom tomorrow, and let her be the first family member to see us as husband and wife. Be looking for most recent tribe directory in your email. Peps and Shirl... enjoy !!!

DianeO - Happy Wedding Day! This is really quite exciting to witness:) You and DH are the carpe diem kids today!

So in honor of weddings AND clean dogs ...

And over here ... I'm not sure why my weight is up again (other than that I weighed at 2:30 am), but whatever.

Today's plan is to finish mowing the big yard. Another two hours should fini**** off. Then I'll clean up and go to a family birthday celebration for a niece, where the plan also includes HALF a piece of birthday cake.

To find the right musical selection for today I plowed through dozens of syrupy wedding songs, and here's the WINNAH! LOL!

Have a wonderful wedding day!!! It sounds like the weather is smiling down on you as we are!!!

One advantage of Chihuahuas is that they rarely get too dirty (though if able to roll in something dead they will do it - yuck). They are generally pretty clean and almost clean themselves like cats. And of course if they do get that roll, they fit in the sink!

Our weather is also supposed to be warm and sunny this afternoon for the last day of summer. We will likely take a walk along the ocean (can't take the dog for a walk right on the beach until 10/1).

Nothing much else is happening though I may take my new 25 foot pole window cleaning device and try to wash the aphid fungus off the skylights.

Have a sunny Sunday!

Good morning! Wishing you a beautiful and joyful day Diane! Put a ring on it indeed!!!

In my favorite bed, drinking chai tea after a good night's sleep. Feel awesome. I didn't end up going to the grocery store yesterday. Instead I went online and ordered up all kinds of things like heavy container of kitty litter. Groceries arriving to my front porch between 11-12. Wheeee! I'm still stopping by my local grocery store for produce and meat, I want to pick them myself, but a can of beans, I'm happy enough for someone else to haul them over here.

I have controversy club this evening. The topic is the fallibility of memory. I still have my reading to do.

Enjoy Sunday, again, best wishes to the happy couple.

Best wishes to you and DH today.

Have not weighed in a couple of days. I was getting my weight routine back. I will weigh in the morning before PT for sure.

I drove the tractor with Adalyn yesterday and smoothed up the driveway with the box blade. I did have to use my cane to back up but was able to go forward ok. I think she would ride all day. DD and DW were out there with us if I needed to hand off the tiny human for any reason.

I have been waking in the night with foot cramps. Get up and walk it out. That is not the way I like to wake. But thankful that it walks out easily.

Have a great day to all. Shirl and Peps, have a fun time for all of us.
