Good morning. The dogs and I are sitting on the front porch watching a woodpecker drill into our big sycamore tree. That poor tree has a case of scale. Mark has tried treating it two years in a row but, it doesn’t seem to have cured it. The only other method is to have it sprayed right when it leaf buds in early spring. If that doesn’t work, we’re going to lose our nicest tree in the front yard. Sad. 

We had a lot of shopping to do today so headed out to begin. The stores were very busy, usual for the week of Thanksgiving. The surrounding RV parks are full of snowbirds here for the holidays! 

While Mark was laying down the new 9 x 12 area carpet on the back patio, I started writing Christmas cards. Now, it’s time to cook some food for the doggies. We’re going to visit Susan & Wayne for happy hour today. 

Why oh why didn’t I take a picture of the new K kids. Chiki and Mimi are very cute ... and they get along so well with Julius and Shorty. Sue rustled up some chicken and potato salad for dinner. It was a fun visit. 

A cold front is moving in and we are going to have just a fabulous week of cool weather.
