taking a nap!

Well, it's been a week and I've had a lot of naps but my people have kept pretty busy. Here's a quick recap.

My guy (Dale) got a few things done between naps He and the Boss (Patti) finally decided that the garden needed a lot of work (i.e. water) if what was left of it was going to survive and produce anything. Previously my guy thought he could get away with just watering it around the plants with a watering can, and even then he forgot to do it just about as often as he remembered to. Obvious to me that just wasn't enough but I didn't want to make a big thing of it so I didn't say anything. Finally the Boss figured that what they needed to do was to water with a sprinkler so that the whole bed got wet, not just a few inches around the plant. I wasn't at all surprised when in a couple of days the tomatoe plants, the zuchinni, the corn, and the green pepper plants had all revived and are looking good. Unfortunately the bean plants in one of the raised beds were beyond help so no fresh garden green beans for us this year. They aren't one of my favorite table snacks anyway so no big deal as far as I'm concerned.

Just today they finally got started on a big project they have been talking about (and putting off) for a long time. They are pulling up all the carpet in the living room and hallway and putting down laminated flooring (that they purchased about three months ago and had been stored in the shop). I was beginning to wonder if it was ever going to happen. Of course I kind of like the old carpet ( the many odors and stains of of old friends long gone) but as long as they let me up on the couch to nap or my guy lets me sleep on his lap I'm not going to complain. I think it's going to go pretty well, too, because they got the kid (Russell) helping and with his effort it seems to go pretty fast -- and not near as much cussing.

Well, there's probably a lot more stuff I could talk about but it's getting late and I'm really ready for a good night's sleep.

Hope you all have a good week
Be nice to your neighbors ( but not to the neighbor's cats!)
