Good morning from God's country!  Boot's has had his first breakfast and is out on his first morning patrol, this consists of checking out the neighbours deck.  Just in case, they forgot to put any food away!  Not sure when he will learn, that they are used to all the wild animals around.  So if food is put out, it will be given directly to him!  Crazy cat..
  There appears to be a bit of haze in the sky this morning, almost as if the fall harvest has begun.  I think it might be a bit early, but then again some farmers did get their crops in very early this spring.  I will have to wait for an update from Donald when he returns next weekend.
  Our big golf tournament went off this weekend, with the usual fanfare.  Hopefully everyone that participated had a great time.  I avoided the noise and confusion as my headache was at a sustained high level, and felt the added fanfare would not do it any good.  This allowed me to spend some great quality time with Susan.  Just relaxing and enjoying each others company, something we really have not had a lot of time to do this summer.  There always seemed like there was something we had to rush and do, well not this weekend!  And it was a very short weekend to boot, go figure.
  Soon I will have to go and make sure Susan is awake, to have her shower.  This is so she can get ready to go back to the big city for another five days of work.  Then Susan get's her first paid vacation time in over a year, eleven days off with her best friend, "ME"!  And how do I know I am her best friend?  Who else would spend this quality time, taking me to two different dentist appointments.  Plus a Doctors appointment, and then start on cleaning out the front garage.  All this to help me out, instead of enjoying some time at the lake!
  So I guess we have most of our projects caught up for now, so I will make a few attempts at golfing this week, oh yes this is the week I must fertilize my trees.  Other than that, my morning walks with Boots, if I can get him out on the wet grass.  He still does not like getting his feet wet!  There seems to be too much dew this time of year, perhaps we should make it an afternoon walk and interrupt his afternoon siesta!  If only I could train him to ride on the golf cart, he could check out the bush between my golf shots, maybe even find some of my old lost golf balls!
  Oh oh Boots is knocking at the door, he has returned from parol duty early.  I should let the little guy in before he awakens Susan.  Judging by the time, she still has at least fifteen minutes of beauty rest remaining.  Anyways, Susan shall return Friday, when Boots' parent's shall arrive for a week's stay.  We plan on having rib supper with them saturday evening and then returning to the city early Sunday morning.  Hopefully we can accomplish all the appointments and work at home in a short week and then return to God's country where we can once again sit on the deck and enjoy Building the Simple life.........................
