I pulled into my usual spot in the driveway this afternoon, thinking how strange it was not to have dogs begging for dog biscuits as soon as I opened my door. And there was Freckles. I gave her two biscuits and she took them over to the lawn to eat them. (I keep a bag of dog biscuits in the car.) She is getting thinner and thinner, but still seems fairly perky. After I fed the cats I put out the usual food for two dogs, which she slurped up happily. I just take it a day at a time.

The weekend is ahead. I'm trying to guess what time tomorrow (Saturday) will be the slowest at the pool. Probably relatively late in the afternoon. If other stuff doesn't interfere, I just may check it out.

One of the blogs I read had a link to One Red Paper Clip in which the owner of the paper clip keeps trading up until he has a house. It's quite a tale.

Tomorrow I should do some weeding. (Note the word "should." Since I have long experience at procrastination, the odds of my actually doing much--if any--weeding are pretty slim. But I'll come up with a really good reason excuse.)

Thought for the day (and I don't recall where I read this one): Preach the Gospel always. If necessary, use words.
