SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 2014

Good day, eh? Not to be a griper, but where's the sunshine? We awoke to rain thundering on the roof. Now there's a story to that too. During extremely heavy rain, like we this morning's, oir sunroom is bone dry. Earlier in the week, we had a very light misty rain and had a steady drip, drip, drip from one corner of the ceiling. We had a roofer seal it several years ago, then Mark sealed it twice. With a heavy rain, everything is fine, no leak ... but a light misty rain makes a drip!!!  What the heck???

Sue and Wayne sent me a birthday package which I picked it up at the post office today.  What a wonderful surprise. It is a Zetronics Dash Cam ... perfect for the upcoming East Coast USA trip! Wow, what a nice gift. This gift was in addition to the eight stackable acrylic stemmed wine glasses!  Wow, "What a take!" as Wayne's friend, Sid, would say. 

So, yesterday, Sue and Wayne had the dogs in for grooming. This sounds like just an easy task of dropping them off at the groomers.  But, not so fast.  Sir Julius is a charm and delightful at the groomers ...  a southern gentleman. 

Julius, enjoying some TLC at the groomers ...  

Wayne, all geared up for holding Shorty for the groomer!!!  LOL. 

Meanwhile, we ran errands this morning, with the Scotties are along for a ride. 

Miss Maggie could use a little grooming after getting wet on her morning walk!  LOL

Chores and errands done, we drove a half-hour for "Linda-sitting" at Randy's. The Olympics are good entertainment. Linda was talkative today; a few starter phrases with gibberish equals total confusion. (I'm the confused one ... she had facial expressions that told a story.) Mark gave her medication in applesauce and it seemed to have a calming effect. Randy arrived home about three hours later and we headed home to cook dinner. Mark is doing oven roasted vegetables, pork tenderloin for us and chicken for Linda and Randy. What a guy! He enjoys eating = he enjoys cooking. I enjoy him enjoying himself. LOL. 

Linda and Randy arrived at 5:30 ... cocktails and dinner about 6:30. The bromance continued, Randy "loved" the vegetables Mark roasted ... they even traded recipes. Haha. Linda was good fun after a half glass of wine. It was a nice evening!
