It's a shame you had to cut the tree down, Ginny. But I guess if it was rotten, better now than have it come down during a storm!

Yes, DR Laura, we've been talking about how lucky we were 2 years ago when Hurricane Ike paid us a visit that both of the trees we've had removed this month survived that storm.  Especially today's tree - it would have done major damage to our house as it's right outside our family room, which has a one-story roof and where we spend a lot of time.

I'm glad I had our pine tree examined and trimmed by an arborist. He said it's healthy and in no danger of falling in a monsoon storm.

How did you know the tree was rotten inside when there were all those green leaves on it?

The growth was all at the top and branches were falling off closer to the ground.  We really didn't know how rotten it was until we saw the cross-sections.

I don't know what's come over the little Yorkie that attends our church (yes, you read that correctly). He has been barking like mad at one of the adults who escorts one of the children attending Vacation Bible School. I have hardly ever heard the Yorkie bark at church before. He's always very quiet.

What did you do to provoke him? :-*

Perhaps that adult either mistreated the Yorkie, resembles someone who mistreated the Yorkie, wears the same cologne as someone who mistreated the yorkie....or the Yorkie just doesn't like him

Thanks, DR Cillaliz - there were 2 shots taken of this pose and the other one is better of me, but this one is great of my mom.

Given the fact that I totally screwed up my morning, this has been a pretty good day. I just had two Chinese dishes for dinner and I'm ready to chill out.

I am glad Wiggles is free.

Now, I wish they would come after the Pit Bull that jumped over his fence and acosted Bosco and I during our morning walk down the alley behind my house. I was sure it was going to be my last day on earth. Fortunately, I stood very still (although I was yelling at it to go away), Bosco also did not react to it (thankfully) and neither of us were attacked. But that damned thing came right at me and stood barking and growling, ferociously, not two inches from me. It was scary. I was so shook up I had to stop and buy a chocolate cake donut on the way to work.

This creature (it looks like satan) has gotten out of it's yard several times over the last few years, and one day it is going to hurt somebody.

I had that happen once on my morning coffee walk, MBarnum. I am not afraid of dogs, but that was the end of my coffee walks.

What a kooky day this has been.  I have been all over the place doing this and that and also that and this.  I can't even remember everything I've done.  I got up, that I remember.  Then I had a few telephonic conversations, that I remember.  I printed out orders, I saw some potential covers for our next release, one of which was really wonderful - so, we'll go with that with some minor adjustments.  Then I returned the extra handset from the phone I got yesterday - the salesman hadn't realized that I bought one that already came with two handsets.  I used the credit to buy some more printer ink.  After that, I got my car washed.  After that, I picked up three big boxes of boxes, in anticipation of addressing a whole slew o' boxes come Monday - I actually think this is going to take two days to do - it's quadruple the number we usually address.  We'll see how it goes.  Even if we get them all addressed, the postage will probably have to be done on a subsequent day.

I will admit to screaming like a little girl, which brought a neighbor out of his house and he pulled the dog away from me. The owner came out and looked like she had no idea what could possibly be wrong.

I also got a couple of other packages.  I then went to Bed and Bath to buy a new toothbrush holder.  Whilst there, I decided to replace my six-year-old bedding, which has been really irritating me lately.  I've had this stuff forever, the down comforter has been shedding something awful, the cover over the comforter is dark, dark brown and very oppressive - so, I just bought new sheets, new cover, new comforter and new shams for the throw pillows.  It's a whole new look and much, much lighter and more sunny.  I opted for beige, because the rugs are a sort of beige - it's amazing how the whole room came alive.  The only thing I couldn't do was put the new skirt on the bed - I guess you sort of have to lift the mattress up to do it - so I'll do that when she of the Evil Eye is here on Saturday.  They were out of the sheets, so those will be sent to me free of charge, within the week.  Meanwhile my old sheets are beige so that's fine for now.

My Qwest adventure continues, to the tune of a $695.54 monthly bill.   Um, no.

Now I have to learn the ins and outs of this here new phone - that's always fun.

We get so few voice mail messages I kept forgetting how to retrieve them on our new phone.  I've got it down now.

I had to laugh about the chocolate cake doughnut.  You have the address, why not call & report the dog?  Have you spoken to the owners?
