The Old Folks Home

I did get sleep last night.
Moose the old Labrador woke me at 6:30 am again.
Why do I set an alarm ?
Mocha is being a pretty great pooch lately.

Afternoon all - well it is here.
Had a good morning playing Pennant Croquet.
Have to totally hand it to our head coach, who made up the teams from those who expressed interest.
When 1 pair of teams wind up seperated by only 2 hoops from 3 games and the other pair of teams are seperated by only 1 hoop from 3 games, that is real good team balancing.

That does make playing so much more fun!!

It’s great to hear from you! That was a great podcast, I was amazed at the size of your turkeys! Do you have pics of any of them?

Sadly, no. I don't have any pictures from my poultry project. Just memories. That was 30 years ago. Not like today's "I have my phone right here" photojournalism.

No problem falling asleep, but staying asleep for a long time is an issue. So, yes, there are afternoon naps. I think I get 7 to 8 hours a day/night combo.

Sally I could use a set of knees along with coffee, you didn’t see any on your way over didja?

Even with my brand new shiny-on-the-inside knees, I feel the weather. They're either both happy or cranky dependent on the humidity and cloud activity. But at least it's a matched set now.

Are you contemplating knee replacement?

Mum's had both of her knees done twice now, the joys of reaching your 90's. While she says they are not as good as the originals. She also says they have kept her mobile and upright for an extra 20+yrs.

I did nap in my chair today.
Unusual for me sure helped my attitude.

Good morning, OF. We're going to a craft fair today.

A craft fair sounds like fun! Do you shop or just browse?

We're headed up to Santa Fe today to acclimate the new dog to Residence #2. Poh is such a gem -- very sweet and intelligent -- and gets along great with the two greyhounds. It's hard to believe he was on the short list for death (twice!) at the kill shelter. A case of a good dog being in a horrible situation. To us, his shelter intake reads like total fiction. I guess he just needed to land in the right household to bloom.
We did his doggy DNA. Anybody care to guess his breeding? It's not what you'd think...

Naps are the reset needed for the day.... (Vital, IMHO)
