Cooler & Windy

Went down to the shop several times on Saturday to get pics of the new project. Hubby wanted me to get a pic of his "Project Heavy Hauler" which is essentially his new dually!

I finally went to the shop for the last time at 4:30 and told him he had to clean up & close up shop so that we could go over to KRL-N's for the weekend. We packed & loaded all the dogs into the Dodge and started over there. Told K to bring us home lattes when she came home from work at 6PM. We finally got to her house a little after 6. Bravo was excited. All the dogs went in by the side fence. Harriet was upset at the noise of the air conditioner & bolted back to the truck. Greg brought her in seperately.

We spent a while unpacking, then hubby was starvingly hungry. I refrained from eating today as I wanted to share my one meal of the day with the family. So we went over to Airway Heights to eat at the great Mexican Restaurant - La Presa. Fabulous food. Great service.

Then went home & played with the dogs in the backyard until we got ate up by mosquitoes! Inside we read magazines & talked until hubby passed out on the couch.

That night the dogs couldn't really settle well. Isabelle slept on my side of the bed as usual. Squeezed between the bed & the wall - a very narrow spot. Bud slept in the doorway. Harriet slept on the floor at the bottom of the bed. Angus & Bit slept in the living room. Angus was disturbed by all the light & noises from a busy suburban neighborhood on the weekend.  We later learned from KRL-N that Harriet & Lil Bit had snuck into her room to snuggle on the bed with her & Bravo!

Sunday morning hubby let the dogs outside at an ungodly hour. Then K & I went for a walk with Bud & Bravo.  Picked up some SWEET fresh strawberries from a neighbor's garden. (K had already gotten permission to pick whatever she wanted! What a nice neighbor.) Love the taste of fresh, home-grown strawberries. You-Pick in Oregon vacation?

Then we went to Cheney (hardware store closed) and ate at different restaurant for breakfast-hometown good- Willow Springs Station. Very reasonable. Good food. G&K had the special-french toast, sausage & egg with coffee for $5.75. I had an omelette with very yummy hashbrowns.

When we returned home, hubby fixed the water sprinklers. Sat around outside enjoying the sun & fresh grass while the dogs played. Then K had to go to work. We packed up & followed her later. Got yummy lattes at her stand. Went home & played with dogs - very hot today. Had gotten into the 90s. AC finally cooled us off at 7:30 at night. Fixed pump in pond so I can put fishies in pond tomorrow!

Dogs woke me up extra early on Monday morning. Harry nuzzling me in bed. Went to get lattes with Bit & Bud. Watered plants when returned home. Saw birds in seed bowl. Froggy still on deck. I provided him with fresh water in a small pan. Went out and mowed a little around the side of the drive & saw tiny garter snake. Gross.

Have to put fishies in pond today. They will be so happy.
