  Oh yes, arrived home yesterday, cut the hay field and removed some weeds.  I noticed that a family of robins were bathing themselves in the puddles up and down the alley.  I also noticed that several sparrows were brave enough to continue harvesting seeds off of the grass, while I cut it right next to them.  Surely Mr Boots would of had a heart attack if he would have observed this.  Thank God he is at the lake, enjoying his remaining vacation time with Nathan and Nicole!
  Today I start the the torture time in the dentist chair, one of many just to replace fillings that have fallen out.  The torture is not having the work done, it's having to pay our portion after what is not covered by insurance.  Talk about legalized highway robbery!  Ever wonder why dentists seem to be located at the most expensive real-estate money can buy?  Perhaps if they  were located in less expensive areas we could have more affordable dental care, just thinking out loud...
  When we left the lake yesterday we got a phone call from Nicole asking if we had taken her power cord for her phone, in fact we did!  Lucky we were only five minutes out so one u-turn and we were on our way back.  Unlucky for us, when I was putting the lawn mower away, I noticed Susan had a nearly flat tire on her car.  I think she may have picked something up from her u-turn off the shoulder.  Lucky thing we still have "Dad's" pick-up!
  We spent the late afternoon and early evening with our son and daughter-in-law and two of our granddaughters.  Oh yes we also skyp'd with the third granddaughter and her other half in Kelowna, before we returned home.
  This was definitely enough for me for the day, now to slowly get today underway, and start tackling that imaginary list.  It's still not done, one just has to look outside!  Or go for a walk about to see the little things that need to be done.  Susan made a big start on the garage yesterday, while I was working in the yard.  So we will continue with the little things in the garage, perhaps get all the recycling returned today.  This would clear up a big space, declutering is very important when it comes to the selling of ones home!  This also gives us time to talk and plan, today I think I will probably be listening!  Considering the dentist, my attempt at humour!  Yes, some planning for Building the Simple life...................
