Walked the dogs in the soccer park. I threw BALL for Riley. PBJR walked with just her pink collar and green light. Riley lost one ball. I had to walk BACK to the truck to get another ball. She lost that one, too. I was almost ready to walk back again but she finally came running up to me with the ball in her mouth. Tater had his blue light special. Ran all over the park. Hubby and PBJR and Tater were on the other side of the park, watching black cows by the fence. Some had white faces. I could not take a picture because it was too dark.

PBJR really watched the COWs for quite some time. We had to yell at her to come with us. 

Could REALLY see the stars this morning. Totally clear with no clouds.

I had to walk across to the big light pole to pick up dog poo that somebody else's dog had laid there. The poop was HUGE. 

We gave the dogs water and then loaded them into the truck. I threw away the empty water bottle and the strange dog poop.

We drove home. 

I unloaded dogs. Took off harnesses. I put out ice for the dogs. 

I turned on the music from the Cats Jazz.

Hubby made breakfast for himself. Burrito.

Hubby cleaned cat litter. I went out back to pick up dog poop. 

Hubby backed out the Jeep and parked the truck in the driveway. I met him on the side of the house from the gate to the back. I picked up the dead gecko on the sidewalk brick. Threw it away in a doggy bag into the garbage can.

At 8:30AM, he left for the shop in the Jeep. He said he needs to get fuel for it.

I cleaned the counter. Started dishwasher. I put away clean dishes. I put away clean clothes.

It looked like rain, so I brought the dog beds inside under the patio.

I made crepes with the crepe mix I ordered from Amazon. I used my left-over chicken from The Thai House Restaurant. Added onion dressing, cheese, and bacon. 

I made two crepes from the mix. In a pan. On the stove.

I put out fresh water for the dogs. I let the dogs out again to nap on the concrete. PBJR and Tater like to warm up.

Drove to the Solar Array out in the desert beyond the Dump. They covered a lot of ground in 1 year installing. 

We drove home. Unloaded dogs. 

Hubby made burritos, but in the middle of it, the sink would not drain. 

So he had to take out the p-trap. Drain everything. He said there many straws, lots of dog hair, and some other gross junk.

Hubby turned on the hot tub heater.

Hubby put the fan under the sink to dry it out. 

I cleaned out the cat litter and vacuumed behind the armoire. I vacuumed in the garage.

I cleaned the cat litter, took out the litter, and threw it in the garbage. I cleaned off the plastic mat from the cat litter box with the hose on the side of the house.

 

I was outside watering the front plants and putting away the hose when our neighbor Gary said Hi. He said that Judy up the street is trying to sell her house as Steve, her husband died 2 weeks ago in Temecula, CA from his cancer. Judy is still alive, and does NOT have brain tumors? Weird. They thought she would die first. 

Hubby was vacuuming the inside of the house. He put up the sofa and all the dog beds.

I got dressed. He got all the UPS returns together. 

We loaded the dogs into the Dually.

Hubby had to wash the truck before we could do anything. BUT HE FORGOT THE AMAZON RETURN BOXES WERE IN THE BACK. They got WET.

We then drove to the UPS store where Hubby moved things around. Then we drove to the America First Credit Union to deposit $ for paying bills. 

PBJR stuck her head out of the truck while we were depositing money at the Credit Union.

PBJR SMILING AT THE BANK

Drove to Littlefield where Hubby got a breakfast sandwich for me at Maverik and bought lottery tickets.

On the way home from Littlefield, driving the back highway, Hubby got hypoglycemic. We had to stop at Starbucks for him to get a sweet drink.

We got 3 pup cups for the dogs. FIRST TIME EVER.

RILEY PUP CUP

Hubby went to Smith's because needed more milk. He also got sushi and looked for dog bones, but they did not have any. I stayed in the A/C truck with the dogs. 

A nice hispanic guy walked by Hubby and told him he had a nice truck while Hubby was walking into Smith's.

We drove home afterwards and unloaded the dogs. Unloaded groceries.

We enjoyed some nice TV time at home, relaxing with dogs. 

At 4:30PM, we put the cats in the bedrooms. Rattler separate in the front room because he hates Stuart. 

We left the dogs at home.

Drove the Jeep to Casablanca Casino for our Anniversary dinner.

It was hot outside. I wore my black slacks from Quince and a flaired multi-colored shirt. Hubby had his shorts and a nice silk hawaiian shirt. 

We parked in the parking lot and did not valet. LOTS of cars & people at the Casino. The walk into the Casino was overwhelmingly hot. 

Went to dinner at Katherine's at Casablanca Casino. Reuben was not his normal calm self. He had to have his assistant and another waiter bring out our food. The kid only came by once with water. I had to ask several times. 

We had bread to start. Hubby had a Margarita to drink. I had a Kahlua & Creme to drink.  

We ordered appetizers to take home. Bacon Wrapped Scallops/Crab Cakes/Shrimp Cocktail. Then both of us ordered the special Filet & Shrimp for $59. Hubby also ordered the spinach salad to be made tableside, but when Reuben brought it out, Hubby was full. He cancelled it. 

FILET & SHRIMP

I gave Hubby the spinach on my scallops. He said he was happy with that. 

Reuben brought out an Anniversary dessert for us, even tho we asked him not to do that. 

Chocolate covered strawberries with more side berries. And Hubby had a crème brûlée with more side berries.

CHOCOLATE COVERED STRAWBERRIES

We paid and left. Hubby had to potty before we left. I waited for him.

After another hot walk out to the Jeep, we drove home.

At home, unloaded food. Put it in the fridge. Gave hugs to dogs. Let them out for potty.

Probably the last time we will ever eat out at Katherine's again. Food was good, but no extras. No hot almond scent towels to wipe, no mints to take home. It was rushed and felt awful. For $239, it was too expensive; and $100 for a tip. OMG.

Hubby went back to Walmart to pick up our groceries at 7PM. I had forgotten to order them for a 6PM pickup so we could get them on the way home from dinner.

Hubby was gone a long time and said there were many people waiting and only 2 workers. 

He put groceries away.

We could not soak in the hot tub because it was too cold.

Stuart has been behaving very good lately. He goes out and comes back inside right away. He comes when we call his name. He puts himself in his kennel.

Maybe he IS turning into a good cat?

STUART IN HIS KENNEL

Went to bed at 9:30PM after I put on some Voltaren which is a Diflofenac arthritis cream for my hands. I took a couple Prednisone and a Gabapentin before bed.

Walked the dogs in the soccer park. I threw BALL for Riley. PBJR was struggling to walk, so we took off her harness and she did much better.

Could REALLY see the stars this morning, just a few white fluffy clouds.

We gave the dogs water and then loaded them into the truck. I threw away the empty water bottles.

We drove home. 

I unloaded dogs. Hubby had to unload PBJR because she had no harness. Took off harnesses. I put out ice for the dogs. 

Then I fell asleep on the sofa until 7AM. 

Hubby woke me up at 8AM. He cleaned cat litter. Then he left for the shop in the Jeep. He said some guy was coming in to get a lift on his Jeep, but once there at 9AM, the guy never showed.

Hubby still has to go pick up the Jeep in St George at the Dealership. 

Dogs were hanging out with me on the sofa while I listened to sofa jazz music.

RILEY & TATER ON SOFA WITH ME

I did bookwork. Picked up dog poop outside in the back yard. 

I walked down to get mail. Couple necklaces that I had ordered from Cinderella Ranch.

CECILY DROP PEWTER

RAMSEY PEWTER

Hubby got home at 3PM and brought 3 Crepes from the Crepery in St George. He had picked up the Amp from SSV works in St George and had to wait around for 1 hour. Nick had driven back the Jeep they were to pick up from the Dealership.

We made a Walmart shopping order to pick-up. We picked it up at 7PM. Then I had forgotten to put milk on the list, so we had to go into the store. It stank awful. Old. Then all the people smelled of body odour, cigarette smoke, or perfume. It was overwhelming. We got our stuff and got out. Had to stand in line for a cashier because Hubby refuses to use Self-Checkout. (we DON'T work for Walmart, he says). 

Got home and unloaded groceries. 

I let the dogs out, picked up more poop. Filled their water outside. Then I played BALL with Riley. it was VERY hot out still. About 104F degrees. 

Then Hubby and I went into the hot tub. It was too hot and we did not stay in long. 

We watched TV. Dogs went outside about 2 more times. Then we went to bed about 10PM.

THURSDAY / AUG 20 / DOG WALK / NAP

 THURSDAY

AUGUST 20 2026

Up at 4:00AM when the alarm rang. I was still in bed. We decided to leave early to beat the other women to the park so the dogs can run around loose. Tater really needs the exercise. PBJR likes to walk off-leash.

I got up and dressed. Let the dogs out for potty. Hubby got up and went potty. Then he made the bed. I let the dogs back inside the house. 

I put out shredded cheese and tuna for the cats. 

I made hot latte for Hubby, hot tea for myself. Hubby said the latte was too sweet. I told him I would split the latte and fix it into two when we got home.

We put harnesses on dogs and loaded them into the Dually.

It is 87F degrees outside. 

We drove to Bunkerville. Drove around to make sure the gates were closed. The big gates were WIDE OPEN but there has been no mowing. No wheels in the grass. Odd. WHY do they keep opening the gates?

It was 82F degrees at the park.

Walked the dogs in the soccer park. I threw BALL for Riley. Tater pooped. I picked it up. 

I threw the poop bag in the garbage can by the fence. 

We gave the dogs water and then loaded them into the truck. I threw away the empty water bottles.

We drove home. 

The water main break on Flat Top Mesa Drive has been fixed, but the road is EXTREMELY broken up bumpy, so I made Hubby drive around the long way home.

I unloaded dogs. Took off harnesses. I put out ice for the dogs. 

I fixed Hubby's drink, put 2 more shots and more milk. Made 2 drinks instead of one.

Then I fell asleep on the sofa until 7AM. 

Got up and went potty. Changed the sheets on the bed. 

Hubby put comforter in the wash. We started the wash. I cleaned up the counter and put dishes in dishwasher and started it. 

RILEY & STUART PLAYING

I picked up dog poo outside in the back yard.

Some asshole kid walked up to our front screen door which we had open to get fresh air, "Sorry to disturb you". All the dogs started barking, Hubby yelled "You should be sorry!". He slammed the door and told the kid they need a permit to be soliciting, that we DON'T need our house painted. This is the 3rd idiot in a week to come disturb us. WTF?

STUART SITTING BESIDE ME WATCHING BIRDS ON THE MONITOR

At 8:30AM, Hubby hugged me goodbye and left for the shop in the Dually. 

I put away a clean load of laundry, picked up more dog poo outside, and vacuumed the cat litter. 

I did bookwork. 

I started working on more Xmas Wood Shim trees. Listened to Alley Cats Groove.

I took the dogs outside and played BALL with Riley.

UPS brought the Pax Beneficia flavoring at 12:45PM. 

By 2PM, I was done with 7 more Xmas trees. I am exhausted.

I put the bedspread on the bed. I dried the comforter some more. I made the bed. 

I made more hot tea and some Nanogreens. Need to make a grocery list.

Hot tub at 7PM. 

I put away the rest of the bedding. Made the bed for nighttime. Closed all the mini blinds.
