VACAY DAY

FRIDAY

Slept in until 7AM. Dogs finally forced us to wake up. Got up and made breakfast eggs for hubby & dogs and a latte for hubby.

We took dogs to walk in park. Lots of people there, so we went on a different trail with lots of weeds. I am emailing a complaint to the State Parks dept to make them aware that Farragut does not mow weeds at all on trails or anyplace else.

On the way back, we stopped at the Vet Office and got their toenails trimmed. It was easy because I took one dog in at a time and hubby helped (by sitting in the Excursion with the air conditioning running full blast).

BIT weighs 21 pounds
BUD weighs 110 pounds
BEN weighs 113 pounds
MAGGIE weighs 135 pounds
IZZY weighs 142 pounds


At home, hubby loaded up garbage for the dump. Helped me carry out rugs to power wash. I power washed the rugs. Then he helped me clean out the fish tank (again) because it was totally green with scum. We need a more powerful filtration system!

Then I put away the power washer while he went to the dump. I also put away the boat canvas in the basement.

We were both soaking wet & tired by the time we got done. Noon.

After packing things up, we drove up to Sandpoint with Bud, Ben, and Maggie. Got pizza for hubby at Pizza Hut and burgers for the dogs at McDonalds. While waiting for the pizza & hot wings, we took a walk around the Sandpoint Mall. It was very hot and the dogs drank a lot of water by the time we got back to the Dodge. Hubby turned the A/C on high.

It was late, so we decided to dock sit by the time we got to Garfield Bay & the boat. Hubby ate his pizza and the dogs had burgers. Bud managed to bite a honey bee that was flitting around the boat. We gave him an allergy pill. The neighbors across from us in the houseboat came back and lighted up the stinky tiki lights & cigarettes. Hubby and I tried to play UNO on the back of the boat, but the awful stink drove us to the cabin. We played until 10:00, took the dogs on another beautiful walk around the Marina to see the stars, then went to bed.

SATURDAY

In the morning at 6:00, we woke up to Ben chewing one of the pillows on the boat. He is such a bad dog lately! He chews everything! Maybe baby teething again?

The wind came up VIOLENTLY on the lake and it must have been blowing at 20-25 MPH. The waves were capping on the lake. It looked worse than when we took the boat out the other day and got the rope entangled in the propellers!

So we walked the dogs and then packed everything up. Drove home. Got drinks at Java Bear on the way home.

I made eggs for the dogs and hubby gave them their pills. I also made special sausage gravy & biscuits with egg on top for hubby.

He did not really like the biscuits, so I found another recipe online to try. These biscuits turned out PERFECTLY! So hubby kept eating them all afternoon with Strawberry jelly.



We sat home for the rest of the day just relaxing in the A/C. It got up to about 94.

Deer came to the yard and drank water along with eating deer food. It was nice to see them.

At around 8:00, hubby went to Lil Town Market to get more milk for the morning.

I finally went to bed at 10:00.
