More Strangers Coming Into My World

 Cujo here. Some men came today and fixed Mom's washing machine. She was quite pleased to be able to wash all the clothes and towels, but she said the vomit blankets could wait till tomorrow. 

Not my fault all those blankets are a mess! That was Mr. BoJangles and his delicate tummy, then Eddie vomited ON ME! I was not happy about that and thought I was going to have to travel the entire way with vomit on my back. Mom stopped and cleaned me up. I love my mom.

Speaking of Bo and his delicate tummy .... it must not be too delicate, since last night he ate HeWho is our Dad's hearing aids. Mom thought it was funny. He only ate the parts that go in the ear, not the unit with the battery. Mom would have taken him straight to the vet for that. I know I did not bother them, and Eddie was in the bed all night. I jumped out for a drink of water. Toni Louise is usually up and down a lot, but she was happy to snuggle between the pillows with the people in bed. Bo was up and down and up and down. He can be quite annoying.

HeWho should have secured his hearing aids out of reach, tried to blame Martha, the boy cat! Martha just stared at him and made his pupils change shape. Mom told him that Martha would just play with them, but that Bo would eat them. I would listen to Mom; she is very wise about such matters.

Mom was happy because the legs came for our bed, and we are now sleeping in the lap of luxury. She will probably elaborate when it is her turn to write. She can tell a story better than I can. Well, about some things.

Time to sneak outside to see what Bo is barking about. Mom leaves the house door open now that the weather is nice. Us dogs came come and go as we please. She also cleaned our yard up and raked it. She likes to do things like that!

    How nice you can go out when you want. Our terrier did that, until he was too old to appreciate the steps.

      Rumor has it that Mom wants us to learn to use that doggy door. For now, she just leaves the screen door open, but warned us that soon she will expect us to make use of the doggy door. Bugs, it has to do with bugs. I say let the bugs come and go as they please, Mom does not agree!

    I am also glad you can come and go as you please now. And very happy that the legs came for your mum's bed, and for a working washing machine.

      Mom is really happy about the washing machine; it has been going non-stop since the repair!

    Bo is a spoiled little imp, who would do well to observe your restraint, Cujo! Between him and Toni Louise, you must be exhausted watching their antics. I'm sure your mom loves you all equally, though.

  Let's see if I did this right! Hopefully I will be able to add some pictures. Only one way to find out .... This is where it all started. On a rainy day in October, 2021. The first view of the rest of our lives. Here he is, the love of my life pondering this property he had proclaimed to be over our budget.  Here is the front view. The drizzling rain makes the house look like it needs a good power wash. Not to worry, we have one. While I am not a big fan of the screen door entry, this can be changed. This is the view that convinced HeWho proclaimed this property to be over the budget I had set to make an offer that very day. You can't see it from this picture, but a trout stream with rushing water hides down below. I will eventually get a good shot when I finally start to make some steps down to the water. We are old and do not want to fall and suffer any broken bones! The area behind the stream is never to be developed. This existing tiny shed will become my sewing room. I ...

  While awaiting the newest stove delivery I have been working in my She Shed, but the last several days have been overcast, damp and chilly. This has kept me inside. I tired quickly of Netflix and TV in general. Idle hands make me anxious, so I employed the help of HeWho sits and got down all the boxes of photos to sort. I have been saying I would get to them one day when I had nothing to do ..... Strolling down memory lane with each stack. I kept stopping to text pictures to my kids and laughing with them. Then I hit a stack that made me profoundly sad and happy all at the same time. It was pictures with my sister on a cruise with her friend that became mine, too. We had so much fun despite me being homesick. Here we are departing. The winds were high! This is my sister. My big sister, always ready to take care of me. My only sibling. This is Gloria, partner in crime to my sister's antics when I wasn't around. Three three of us indulged in a rum drink called "the Love Co...

Final Chapter!

  So, you may recall that the delivery did not happen on Tuesday, but was supposedly changed to Thursday. I was skeptical. I was right to be skeptical. HeWho patiently waits on hold, was told that the stove had yet to arrive from Atlanta. They were unaware that he had been notified by text that the stove had arrived in Murphy the day before ad was ready for pick up. When he confronted the store manager with this bit of information, the excuses began once again. The delivery truck was already out for the day and nothing could be added. The stove did not arrive before 6am and therefore could not be added to the day's deliveries. Judge Judy is apt to tell a witness that if you tell the truth, you don't have a need to remember what you said earlier. Finally, HeWho has had enough! He told the liar on the other end of the phone to cancel the order and refund our credit card. I was listening and can tell you I have never heard such relief in a man's voice as the liar's had. He...
