Saturday night error . . .

Our first crape myrtle in bloom; so glad it's pink. 

Grampa spent a horrible day yesterday; couldn't keep anything down. But today he seems to be doing okay. It seems the combination of muscle relaxer and pain pills taken at 3am into Sunday morning was a very bad idea. The hours to take the two sets of pills happened to coincide at 3am. He hasn't taken anything today except two Advil. The back is very slow at getting better but P&D's Pop is working in The Shed on his first electric plane as I write. It looks good and it's good to see him feeling better. Yesterday was pretty awful. Not used to P&D's Pop sick - don't like it one single bit. Makes me feel terrible too!

Just found out that Terminix is supposed to be making sure we don't get fire ants. The technician came this morning and sprayed and set bait. I told him we've been putting poison on the few little hills we've seen as I didn't realize that we not only had termite control with them but pest control too. You can be sure I'll be hollering if I see another fire ant! He said the poison doesn't get to the queen most of the time which is why they put out bait so the ants will bring back the food to the whole family! He had better be right because I don't like those ants and the fact that we've been putting stuff on them and not calling Terminix! My fault for not reading or understanding the contract. They'll be back in July unless we need them sooner. The man said that the ants travel far and you can never get rid of all of them on your property because they'll come from the neighbor's yard too looking for food.

Got our invitation to the homeowners meeting yesterday evening. It's at 7pm tomorrow in the Big House's Backyard. We may only be able to stave it off for two more years. I think the restriction clause runs out after 25 years. We'll find out tomorrow night. Planning on a quiet day. May go and buy a flag to put out for Memorial Day.
