I finally had our Santan plants infront of the house trimmed and our side fence planted with Snake plants cleaned. I just hired two of the subdivision’s maintenance workers and gave them half of their daily wage for less than a two-hour job.
Our two doggies had their hair trim too last Saturday. I can no longer take a good shot of Oreo so I took a photo of Cookie instead.
She is now twice the size of Oreo. She is better behaved than Oreo.
I had a nice chat with a high school classmate whom I haven’t seen for so many years. We touched on our families, how it is growing old, our high school and college life. It is so nice to reminisce. We had a good laugh remembering.
Done with my 15th book for this year’s book challenge. Lately read two books of Laura Ingall Wilder’s Little House on the Prairie. I remember those late high school and early college days when the whole family watched the series every night on television. I found it on YouTube and watched the early years. So nice to see them all again. I love the books though. Simple prose about family life and living in the wilderness.
I am trying to read another book by Dean Koontz. Hopefully it’s as good as his two books I’ve read before.
You are doing so well to have read 15 books already… and Cookie is a gorgeous doggie… ๐๐

Cookie looks great. Our dog groomer is currently closed for this lockdown. Luckily, Ollie’s fur dooesn’t grow long. ๐
Best wishes, Pete.

Both Cookie and Oreo have long furs. They need regular grooming.

My daughter loved all those books. My great grandparents were homesteading in Minnesota at about the same time, so the stories were educational for me.

I’ve always loved ‘Little House’ books also. I’ve reread most of them several times over the decades. It’s been a month or two since I watched the show. I’m able to get it through a few of my television subscriptions. You’ve reminded me of how much I love it.

Have you ever read any of the biographies of Laura. I love those also as they show photographs of her.
