Doc's New CalfIt was a pretty morning. I got a nice phone call from a dear friend and we had a good visit. Fixed Joe an early lunch. Took the dogs. Drove in to town today about 11:45 to get my manicure and pedicure. Had a sandwich and cup of tea for my lunch as I drove. I loved having it done, especially the pedicure. This was my second one in my life, except of course I've always done my own. At least I got home this time without ruining any of the nails. It took almost 3 hours for both. It didn't leave much time for anything else. When I came out it was pretty overcast and looked like it was snowing in the mountains. Afterwards took the dogs for a walk up the walking path next to the Rendezvous Pointe. I got some groceries, not as many as usual, and drove home.
There are more antelope drifting back this way all the time. Didn't see as many deer on the road so they must be about through with their migration. Those red tailed hawks are definitely building a nest in the big tree by our irrigation ditch and staking out the territory there. Saw curlews this morning and there are juncos in the yard. The cats are trying to stalk them, but they are too smart to be cat food.
Made an easy dinner in about 10 minutes by bringing home some of Faler's macaroni and cheese, with deli hot dogs and leftover fresh green beans, salad and rolls. It worked good for me because I'm just kind of pooped. Stayed up late last night working on one of my WAOW jobs, and tweaked it again this morning. I'll be curious to see how it goes when the committee scrutinizes it and then it goes to the board.
Betty wrote that she, Nancy and Amigo (Rottweiler) will be here for a visit for about 5 days at the end of the month. I can't wait to see them. They are coming here because I can't travel down to Mesquite for a while after my Hollywood Episode. We'll have a good celebration for our 50th high school reunion year. No telling what plans will evolve, but we might get some more ATVs and ride around the country some.
Got a new book in the mail today that I heard was good by Elizabeth Gilbert – "Eat Pray Love". Joe's shirts the girls ordered for him for Christmas came last mail day too. So Merry Christmas in April.
