Some repairs, Yard Sale, Library

Another week has passed and not to much excitement to talk about. Of course Larry watched all the MSU games this week and was please with the turn out.

Had a light frost on Tuesday morning that was a bit of a surprise to everyone, especially the weather broadcasters, didn't see that one coming. There wasn't a lot of damage to the flowers and plants so that's good.

One day I went to the mall with Marilynn, Pat and Helen and we met up with Linda there. It was a little disappointing, the sale items looked like they were left over from last Christmas. It was nice to not see any empty stores in the mall. Our poor one back in Lansing looks a little sick with so many boarded up. There were quiet a few people out shopping. The public schools here are still off for xmas break, they go back on the 9th. I'm sure my grand kids would love to have that much time off. So we had a good time and a nice lunch there in Luby's.

Been working on things for our annual yard sale here that will be Saturday the 28th. I need to get busy and start checking my stuff out. Each year I wonder if people will have enough to even have one but they always surprise me on the amount that is brought out.

The park is also having their Walk Thru the Park on the 20th. This is where people can open their carriage houses, homes or RV ports to the public and the developer provides hot dogs etc. There have always been several hundred people that come . We'll be helping out on what ever is needed so it should be fun.

With that coming up there are several of us that got together to get the library spruced up. We are over flowing a little with books and some are starting to look pretty worn so we're pretty much going through them all. Going to be a big job but there's five of us. Will post a picture of library's when we're finished. There are so many books that we had to expand and build shelving on one wall in one of the card rooms.

Larry's been busy with repairs this week. My dryer quit and it's the same problem that it was last year. So a new part was ordered. If this happens again next year we'll just replace the dryer. Also the light above the sink quit and because I wanted more lighting on the counter he put LED strip lights there. Gives me just the right amount of light when I'm working there, may have to look at doing this in the kitchen up north.

Pepper is doing good. She loves to sit outside and watch people/dogs walk pass. There's this one puppy that's a few months younger and those two act like two best friend kids. Both try to pull the owners up to the trailer when they walk pass and they just totally ignore other dogs when their together. There's this one Scottie that Pepper does not like. One night when we were walking this dog started growling and parking at us. It wasn't just us from what I understand, he's not a very friendly dog which isn't good for these close quarters. But anyway ever since then if Pepper sees him walk pass her hair goes up and this deep growling comes out. It's the only time I've ever heard her do that.
  • Thought I'd share Peppers new coat and her favorite toy that she carry's around on walks.

Weather this week has been wonderful except for the one morning of frost. Been in the 80's with lows in the 50-60's. I've been watching the weather up north and it's been rather mild there too.

So that's about it for this week. Till next time............................................
