Well Hello…. been a long time

It has been just too long since i had a minute to sit and write… don’t know where the time goes, but it flies, guess cuz i am getting old..

Just got back from the coast, left on Wednesday, and returned yesterday… wore my Mom out… she slept like a log the first two nights i was there…Thursday we were on the road from 10 am to about 3…i decided i needed to buy a good set of dog clippers, we had used the old set of cow clippers that we have had for a 100 years..18 inches long and weighted a ton, we used them on Jackson when he got his spring hair cut, and we used them again on Meg,(old border collie) last week… we used the alpaca head on her… and i hate to tell ya this, but i cut the end of her tail off…1/8 of an inch and boy did it bleed…we finally had to cauterize it… and she was so good..and she feels so much better… her hind quarters were all matted…i felt terrible, but it was an accident… anyway these new ones should be better, then we had to go into Cloverdale… and pick up my final cheque for my inheritance… they had sent me a cheque weeks ago, and i deposited it and when they decided that they gave us too much money, so they wanted 400 bucks back… i never got a letter about it, so i just waited, and i went into the bank on Tuesday, and the damn Notary had put a stop payment on the cheque, and they had overdrawn my acct by way more than i had in it…i was not a happy camper… anyway i called them when i was down there, and she had my cheque ready… to this date, i still haven’t gotten a letter about the mistake…i thought a Notary was suppose to make things easier… it took over 18 months to get our money..i sure won’t ever use a notary for my huge (giggle) estate…

Also went to Costco for a few things… and then of course we had to go out for supper… and oh my goodness the casino was right next door..so we spent an hour there… i played for over an hour on 20 bucks… that is fun…

I made supper for Mom’s friends while i was there… they never get to eat at her place as she finds it too difficult to do… so i made them chicken and spuds and spinach salad and frozen cheese cake… it was good… then on Saturday i took 3 of them to the agility trial..they seemed to enjoy it, and of course several of the dogs really goofed off.. one little Wheaton terrier had a great time, tugging on the chute, digging holes, and charging around the ring, and back and forth thru the tunnels..and of course won’t come back when he was called..at least he had fun..then we stopped and picked up some blueberries..they are huge this year… and very tasty…I left the coast a little earlier than i planed as there was a transport accident and they said the road was single lane.. so i left about 9 am, and then stopped at Wisbeys for veggies… they have such good prices… bought 5 lbs of peppers for 3.50… nugget spuds for 1.98 for 5 lbs..and 20 lbs of beets for Larry…that should be enough beets for him… so this morning i am cooking beets and washing jars, i decide i would also make a batch of blueberry jam…just for a change… also plan on going out to pick chokecherries for some jelly.. well i had better go and throw the laundry into the dryer… (i have been trying to get Larry to put me up a cloths line…) have a great day….
