Time Goes at a Gallop Where the Tropics begin

One reason I Blog is so I can remember- a diary of sorts. But you have to remember to Blog. In no particular order:

• Blew up the airbed outdoors and spent time on it brushing dogs and sleeping in the sunshine-a dogpile.
• Tended plants and yard. The flowers are doing great-deadheading the petunias keeps the waist functional.
• Am attempting to tame a stray pitbull with the blessings of the park management. He is a very dignified, wary, and seemingly sweet, smart boy. I put a dish of food out for him and he steals the whole dish. I go to where he passes under the fence and there it is. I want this to have a good ending. I will not adopt him. Goody deserves to get off the planet knowing she is number one and Buster deserves his turn in that spot.
• This hacking cough seems to have passed the germy place but seems to be allergy triggered. Was fine most of yesterday then walked out of a restuarant into the night air and wham! the waterworks, sneezing and coughing started right up. Patent medicines are getting tryouts.
• Labored in behalf of our businesses and the governments of the U.S. and Wyoming in completing the quarterly reports. Most of Friday at this.
• Was rewarded with a delightful dinner at Carrabba's Italian restaurant last night- a treat from Lori and Jason. Lori found a delicious wine and was in high spirits-very amusing. She is a pistol. They are still working away at getting their house finished. They had a cocktail party/private showing of the King Tut exhibit Thursday evening. Very interesting to hear about.
• Have so enjoyed my neighbors. Sadly they must leave today although I went to beg the management for a little more time for them. January is just booked. I am glad that Real and Diane are on the planet. Good people. We have exchanged email addresses. I gave a business card to a previous neighbor and then kicked myself. "Why don't you just take out an ad that your house is unattended," I asked myself. Made traveling business cards with email address and cell phone numbers only. We exchanged little gifts...Diane found me some table cloth clips, I made them CD's with some of my iPod music.
• Windy but warm. The awning is up. I am getting better with it but it is still no picnic.
