Last week of August chat, 8-25-14

A day to relax, except I went to the health club, which was packed, I hate Holidays for that reason, last week was a busy week, we had new windows installed, new front railings on the house, new mailbox, new commode and a new sink to be installed yet, they sent the wrong size so 2 ore weeks for that, the house looked like we were moving, anyway all my curtains are washed and back up and everything now back in place, so glad that is all done, now I wonder what will be next.  always something when you own a house it seems.  Ava had her walk this morning as usual, she is ding well and is such a sweetheart of a dog, just right for my age. :)  Went to Dr. for my 6 month check up everything was perfect and he ask me if I had  retired yet, rofl I said yes l6 years ago, he said I only look 68 and he would like to have his other patients see what you should look like at 82 wow was i ever flattered. :) it was a good visit anyway.  Hope everyone is enjoying their Holiday.

Doug, so glad Sky has found himself a favorite drinking establishment.  Just be sure he doesn't invite his neighborhood buddies to join him around the "bar!"

Kate, your story of the old drill reminded me of an ancient adding machine I have.  It was my grandfather's when he first opened his practice -- it weighs a ton, and when my aunt shipped it to me, a section of its base broke off, but it's really cool.

Jackie, enjoy the new range hood.  We wish we had a bigger one - the standard ones really don't work very well at eliminating cooking odors.

Glenda, you need to take some pics of your critters - they sound so tame, I bet they'd be happy to pose very nicely for you!!

Fabulous weather the past couple days -- cool nights, crisp mornings with brilliant blue skies, warm afternoons, but not so hot we need the A/C.  You can feel fall in the air.  The best kind of weather!
