Good Morning and Welcome to Friday the 7th day of August, 2015.
Wow, one glorious week of August ending and plus three to go.
The sun is shining here in Edmonton.
It was dark when I got out of bed this morning with the pups.
Elton, Penny and Mr. Alvin.
We had a great Thursday evening ….
Elton and Penny were so excited to go for a walk and Mr. Alvin hid under the table.
So I took Elton and Penny for a walk …. our regular route.
It was such a glorious walk.
As we left the house no noise then suddenly when we were out of view of the window I hear this forlorn howl (sounded like a wolf) and I thought was that Alvin.
Yup, that was Alvin……
Poor little guy.
Part of me wanted to go back and fetch him but the other part said two is enough ….. three is hard to wrangle.
Especially when they start “pooping.”
So I felt like a rotten Momma ……
By the time we got home he was “happy” to see us.
It was so nice out that I mowed our grass, front and back, both neighbours on either side of me, watered flowers and plants, for all of us and did some weeding.
By the time I was done it was almost 9:30 …..
Mr. Alvin had had some exercise by running and jumping on the deck.
His second favourite thing to do other than eating.
He is so cute.
He runs as fast as he can …. jumps from the bottom to the top step (three) on the upper deck….does this little hop and then does it all over again.
He always makes me laugh when I watch him.
Then he is tuckered out.
After all of that we came into the house – I made myself a cup of tea and watched a show that I had previously recorded.
Then to bed.
No drama.
Usually there is drama.
Everyone settled in and I read for a few minutes before going to sleep.
YAY …. Grandma ……
The sky is beginning to cloud over.
I have errands to run so will have to leave the pups alone but they will be just fine.
On my way there is a walkway that is always filled with garbage …. I cannot believe people.
Just throwing away empty drink containers ….. fast food bags ….. and more.
So I will grab my little disposable gloves and a garbage bag and clean it up on my way through to my shopping places.
Seems like I am always picking up garbage.
Sure wished people would think before tossing.
Oh well ….. it will be some extra exercise for me which I need.
Maybe it will help with my “spare tire” …….
Certainly cannot hurt.
Well I guess Grandma better get this show on the road.
Slept a bit later than planned but guess I needed it.
Have an awesome Friday.
Play safe and be happy.
Special Hello to: my daughter and sister who are two of my most favourite women ….. they are kind and good.
Always, Carol and Alvin
