BOOKS, HOOKS AND YARN

Dobby got to go on a car ride on Tuesday. Off to see Dr M as his ears have been bothering him again. They got cleaned out in May, but the yeast is back.    I also have medicine to attempt to get in his ears twice a day. Not having much success with that. If all else fails he will be having a trip to see Dr M at least once a month so she can work on his ears.  I bought a new carrier for him as well, lighter for me to carry since I have a big boy cat to cart around. He was given gabapentin which made it easier for me to get him into the carrier. The ends zip open and I put him in head first and shoved his back side after him.   I got a cool picture of him the other night, staring into the lamp shade. I finally saw that there was a tiny green bug in their.  Everyone have a good weekend.    

Ack, the last week of August. All of the schools will be back in session next week. Some of the private schools have already started, but the full bus runs, parent's taking kids to school will start. That means I need to watch the routes I take that might take me past a school.  Like everyone the death of Dolly Parton has been hard to take. She was one of those people who you expected to live forever. Her giving nature was a blessing to everyone. As the sign says the best way to honor her memory would be to donate to the Imagination Library.     https://donate.imaginationlibrary.com/ A Grave Deception - a preserved body is found at an archeological dig that is probably 700 years old. Who was she? Also to look into the plague pit from the same time era. Interference comes when the death of the dig leader and the remains of another body of a more recent death. Lots of twists and turns. Bad news is that this is currently the last book in the series, so now I wait until...

Dobby has been here five months now. He sleeps on my bed every night too. Not always next to me, but somewhere on my bed. Sometimes taking over the bed! I launder my sheets every week and when they come out of the dryer there is cat fur in the lint filter. I thought I should wash the blanket but I put it through the dryer first to get the excess fur off before washing. The filter was FULL! Washed, dried and the filter was full again. Guess I need to do the blanket more often.   Lunch the other day was a success. Good lunch with lots of time to catch up. We ate at a place that is in a building from the 1840s. At one point it was a spot on the Underground Railroad. My friend drove and it was nice to be the passenger for a change. Get a chance to view the scenery instead of watching traffic! Woke up early on Thursday, so I opened the front window so Dobby could get his share of fresh air. I could go back to bed and stretch out without a cat hogging the bed! Nice to be getting wea...

Our primary election was last week Tuesday. I had hoped for maybe a few days of no political commercials. That would be a big fat NO! The continued lies and distortions are crazy, mostly coming from third party groups, not the actual candidates. I will continue to watch TV the way I usually do, record it and fast forward through the commercials. Watching minimal TV news as well.  Today is a scheduled lunch date with a few of my long time friends from our car racing. None of us are doing many events anymore, age, mobility and various health issues keep us at home. Looking forward to catching up with everyone.  Some crazy weather on Tuesday evening. Severe weather warnings, thunderstorms and tornados. I had brief heavy rain and wind for maybe a minute or two. No damage here.   The humidity is getting lower which makes it easier to be outside. I actually grilled on Sunday evening, even though it was still a bit humid. I had a craving for grilled food. One thing I am bum...
