A THURSDAY IN A NOVEMBER SUMMER
Posted: Thu Nov 17, 2011 8:51 am
GOOD MORNING TO ALL!
Another beautiful night sleeping out in the screen room on my swing/bed, although Molly got me up a few times with her low growling and jumping off the swing to look out the screens at creatures slinking around out there in the dark! I suspect they are either racoons or armidillos, as she sniffs the air like she can't recognize the scent as she does her commmon, well-known creatures of the north country. (We don't have any racoons back at my northern woods any more, for some reason and, of course, armadillos are southern critters!)
This morning, after talking to the termite/pest-control company extensively yesterday (with much appologizing on the part of the knowledgeable man on the phone who said I should have had the option to upgrade my bond last year), I have decided to go with the spraying of Premise on the exposed wood in my attic. Apparently it does not vaporize, but gets sprayed directly on the wood to sort of coat it and make it uninviting to termites. I wish whoever has to go into that atitc good luck, as it's tight, hot, and who-knows-what-up there!
After that, and after the line of thundershowers and rain passes through here, I will take to the roads and head back to St. Cloud to cat sit while the kids are off to Costa Rica getting married! They fly out tomorrow morning and will be gone until a week from Sunday. I hope they have good weather and a fun time, and that they come back married and happy forever! (HAHAHA-----isn't that an oxymornonic statement??!!) Oh well......!
What fun to read so many posts on yesterday's coffee post! So many fabulous people doing such fantabulous things out there in RV land, even if it's just preparing your rigs for the dormant winter season. Carol will be heading into Mexico for another winter, and she always shares such neat places with us all!
Sharon, I am still waiting to see your upcoming doc appointment! (Nag, nag!)
I hope everyone has a happy day, and finds something to do that will make you smile more often than not!
