Good afternoon y’all … it’s been a crazy busy week and today is no exception! 😅

Friday is always housekeeping day … but with extra jobs! The new robot vacuum requires a few things tidied up … like extra long curtains, dangly extension cords, dog toys and the like. The ruffled curtains between the dining and Sunroom couldn’t be shortened so Mark raised the rod. ✅ The Sunroom white sheers puddled on the tile … so those rods had to be repositioned. ✅

Now, I’ll just fold the towels before opening our new assistant housekeeper … Rosie. Hey, it’s got to be Rosie after growing up with the Jetson’s. 

Last night, Sue and Wayne hosted their dinner party at the lake. Jim surprised the girls with a gift for each of them. 

Sue doled out the gifts Jim brought … 

I wonder what was in those beautiful bags? 

Well … Mark was napping when I opened the boxes … the vacuum robot has a charging dock that empties itself into a dust bag! We got it set up, plugged in and I pushed the right button at the wrong time. 🙄 Now it’s cleaning and I’m not supposed to interrupt it. 😬 I’m hoping to carry on with the setup instructions and programming when it comes to the dock to charge. 🤞

Yeah, Carlos is programmed … he was always reliable and on time so we’ve named our Yeedi after our south Florida housekeeper of 18 years. (My mom always thought it strange that our housekeeper was a man … and the roof and driveway cleaner, Mary, a woman.) Haha. Well, it was a bit odd. 🤔 

This weekend RanDawn will be celebrating Charlotte’s birthday. Hope we’ll see them next week … the COVID19 Delta variant has flared up terribly in our region. The local hospital is on code Black. There are no beds available … so don’t get sick! (Unfreaking believable when we could have had this virus beaten.) 

It’s telly time here … we watched Olympic coverage of Karate kumite … and now, Alone. Ta ta til the morrow. 😘

Good afternoon! Egad, it’s nearly 4 o’clock and I’m just starting today’s blog. We had an eBay sale which had to be packaged and taken to the post office. 

Mark worked at the project house for four hours with Lew while I did laundry and household chores. The Scotties and I watched while the guys tore down the chain-link fence between the two properties with the Mounty. Every day it’s looking better, landscape wise. 

We’re trying to feed Robbie and BeeZee a human food diet ... too many scares with commercial dog foods the past few years, so that’s that. It means watching the grocery ads and getting the BOGOS on chicken, turkey and beef which we did today. They’re sure liking the new program. 😋 

Marky Mark asked Mark to take a picture of his pool with the pool light on. Ha ha ha, so I went along for the walk. Yes, it was happy hour by the time we put our groceries away. Cheers! 

There’s a feathered bird decoration hanging in the pool area, upside down from all the humidity. I thought it made a very cool picture.

Tonight was thick pork chops on the grill with a green bean casserole side dish. We could only eat half the chops ... so huge! 

Pam sent a text showing the Minneapolis forecast for tomorrow ... 8-12” of SNOW. WHAT? Maybe it’s time for another warm up visit Pam! 

We’re both tired tonight ... too much fun lately. 💤
