Thursday, January 10, 2019

Good morning. I was awake at 5 o’clock, just rarin’ to go. It’s now 8 o’clock, and Mark is still sleeping. The doggies have been up for about half an hour and are ready for their breakfast and a walk. 

The new construction house at the end of our street is nearly done. Today they are laying sod and have been working there since 6 o’clock this morning. The drone of the bobcat is rather insidious. It’ll be nice to have the house done and less traffic on our street again. Meanwell, Marky Mark continues to make good strides on his project home. He began painting “The Lodge” portion! Schweet. I’m betting there will be other changes in our neighborhood in the next six months. Several of the older members of our community have recently passed away and with their relatives living up north, I’m betting that some of those homes will come on the market. We’ll see. 

Today I flocked the Christmas tree. 😜 That sounds bad. 😁 The official method is spritzing the tree branches with water ... then sifting the flocking powder over that region with a flour sifter while simultaneously spritzing water to blow the flock onto the tree. Well, it was incredibly messy with a 12 MPH north 💨 wind. So ... I simplified the method. Spritz the area, use a sifter SPOON to sprinkle the flock on and spritz again. The tree is drying overnight but looks good. ✅

Mark took over pool care for Marky-Mark again as it was turning green. He was just too busy with all his started projects. We’re amazed at his enery! Lani is back in Canada at work. 

Randy called to say that Dawn is off work today and home with strep throat. This is quite alarming as we’ve never known her to have any illness ... and Randy was out picking up antibiotics for her. Feel better Dawn!


Tonight we’re relaxing at home with a roast on the BBQ and the fireplace simmering. Ta ta.
