GOOD MORNING TO ALL!!
Morning has dawned beautiful and warm here again---this is a RECORD for this summer---3 nice days in a row! It's already 62 and the sun is rising in a clear sky!
I had a super visit with my daughter yesterday afternoon. I always enjoy her company, as she is able to keep deep and philosophical and knowledgeable conversations about the state of the universe going with me! It always amazes me how admired she is in her field of environmental engineering, and how many tasks and jobs she has her fingers in.....besides being a professor at St. Lawence University. I have no doubt that her name and publications will be well-known at all our higher education institutions before I am gone from this universe. She is an amazing woman.
Trying to decide if I am ready for striking out for Silver Lake Campsite today, or not. My ribs and chest are hurting today, after helping Mandy with my hitch-lifting yesterday----but I had to make sure I can unhook if I get somewhere. Also, we laughed a lot, and that still hurts like heck! Guess it's been about a month since I really laughed! I will call the campsite and ask if there are any waterfront spaces open, and, if there are, I will probably feel obliged to head over there! If there aren't, I can always haul my old camper to the pond and set up down there for a change of venue! Or, better yet, I can just bring my sleeping bag and some food and spend some days in the leanto. I have never brought Twitch down there with me, but it would enable me to not have to come and forth to the house to check on him. He's out here in my new trailer with me now, as I wanted to try out his new hut and space in here to see if things will work when I go to Alburgh a week from today. I had to change his venue from when I met Bob and Cedar, as a friend will be traveling with me to the music festival, and she will use the bed where I had him set up before. He seems very happy in here, and slept with no yowling throughout the night. His entire life now is just eating, drinking, peeing, pooping, liking some petting now and then, and sleeping. Not too bothersome! He really doesn't like his walking jacket at all yet, but I will keep trying it out on him a bit each day. I think he will prefer a fenced-in area on the grass, which I may try today too.
I have to call the porta-pottie people today and order a couple of those for the month of August. It's always worth it to have those handy. Maybe I'll just get them for a week this time----depends on what they will charge me.
Paulette, it sounds as if you have your day cut out for you already----get official custody. What the heck, you are her custodial parent (grand) as it is right now. Non custodial parent being able to put her in school is totally assinine, I will have to agree with you there!
It sounds as if the ground is soggy just about everywhere other than where they need some rain!
I will try to get some pics of Twitch today in his walking jacket outfit----I just hope the shock f it wears off soon so he won't keel over and die! I am setting up a fenced-in area here in the screen room for him to get used to being outdoors more.
Thanks for the coffee, Barbzee! Hope everyone finds something fun to do after the 'chores' get done!
Life is about learning to dance in the rainHappy travels!
