Here's hoping the rain gets out of here this afternoon so Sailfest isn't canceled tonight. That would be a bummer for all concerned. Kiddo is not with us today because we're supposed to bring him home with us tonight after the fireworks. Grampa is off to play horseshoes with our 95 year old friend in RI while here in Moosup we're getting a heck of a down pour. That's a good thing right now because I won't have to water the garden tomorrow. Had to go up and close the sky light! Before leaving Puppy's Pop tried to save the Swiss Chard from the marauding deer. He used some old wire fencing, boards and twine to set up a blockade of sorts along with mothballs and an old denim shirt. Here's hoping it works. I've even lost the tops of the two Rose of Sharron bushes that younger brother entrusted to my care.
Spent most of the day yesterday in the pool with Kiddo. All of a sudden he's decided to swim underwater. Thinks that's cool. I swear he swallows more of the pool than we splash out! We also ran some errands for Richoni's and then had lunch with the cook's helper. Had a tequilaless Margarita. Not bad. I guess I really like sour!
When I got home last night Puppy's Pop had two letters addressed to Mr. Perry sitting on the kitchen table. I had to read them. Two of our neighbor kids who play in the yard had left some big rocks on the lawn and candy wrappers. Their Poppie and Mom had them write letters of apology to Grampa who let's their two dogs run in the yard besides the kids. They even offered to do yard work and promised not to do it again because they'll be grounded for two weeks. Wow, what a treat to have someone who appreciates what we allow the kids to do in our yard. Pretty neat in this day and age.
Just got a call from a childhood friend whose art work graces the cover of a new book. I bought the book but we were in England when it came out so she's going to deliver it to me on this wet, gray afternoon. She only lives in the next village but I generally keep up with her on Facebook. That's a sad commentary. She has adopted her granddaughter who is about 8 years old. My friend is quite a girl. She just got her GED as she married young and had never finished PHS. Her husband died ten years ago and she's one active lady with her art, camping and grandkids.
