I usually have the TV on with their selection of varying genre of music. I go most often between "New Country" (which I am listening to now) and "Malt Shop Favorites". Probably will turn to Seasonal Music soon.

Finished and home from 11 days of dog/house sitting. Lovely house and lovely dog, but there were two mice seen which made me imagine one getting in bed and running across me at night. That just means I had to tuck the covers tight. And put my head under the covers too. Wish I hadn't seen them. Should have noticed there were mouse traps in various areas. Empty. Now I get to get ready for our ladies Christmas lunch Friday where we have a blind gift exchange. And will have to have a game or two. So I will be researching for something fun.
Is there any coffee left? Love a cup with cream only.
Everyone enjoy the rest of their day.

I am sad to announce that my Mum passed away tonight. She wasn't sick or in pain but, at 95, she had a good life and was loved to the very end by all that knew her. She has been slowly fading for the past three months so the sadness is eased with a little relief that she is now at peace and with her beloved husband, my dad, who was taken from us thirty-six years ago. He was only 68.
I am sure that you will understand if my presence here over the next few days is somewhat scarce but I will be back to normal when everything is settled.


My thoughts are with you and your loved ones at this time.

I was awakened in the middle of the night by the dreaded "peep" of a fire alarm battery going bad. You cannot ignore it. Every minute the "peep" and you are awake again. The problem is you cannot find the culprit among 8 or alarms. You only get close. So, up at 2:15 in the morning drowsily trying to figure out which has the bad battery. I finally had to detach 3 alarms that were possible problems, set them aside and tried to sleep again.

I think now I know which is bad. I put a good battery into it but it still "peeps" so perhaps the "new" battery is simply not any good anymore. Oh well.


Dear Larry, It was just a little joke of mine with the alarms. As you know I am a super tech and was able to program it from a remote location. I thought I had it set to go off during daylight hours. Must be the different time zones that threw me off. I will apologize when I've finished giggling.

And I add my vote on the ballet. I know all the female dancers might quit en masse if you weren't to return in January.

Sara, I have no idea if you know I have been sneaking in and helping myself to your delicious cookies when no one is watching. I'm getting addicted to all the exciting types. I have been house/dog sitting for quite a few days (will be 11 when they come home Sunday) and it is so nice to just have such peace and quiet - and no chores since it's their house. I should be catching up on all the stories and poems that I am behind on instead of reading a real book! I'm glad you had that very nice Thanksgiving and hope the upcoming Christmas is a good one for such a sweet and lovely friend. You most deserve it.
