Good Morning and Welcome to Wednesday the 15th day of August, 2018.
It is 6:35 a.m. and still dark outside.
What a change from a week ago.
The sky appears to have be overcast but as I lean out the window I can smell smoke.
It is almost eerie.
The lightness of the sky seems to provide light on the objects below.
From my office window it appears as though people have a dim light shining on their decks, in their yards.
Just having the windows open for a short time for the cool air.
Our temperatures have cooler down which is good for sleeping and for our fur babies.
Last night my daughter gave me a ride home from work.
We stopped at a local Japanese restaurant and picked up noodle bowls for supper, my treat.
I just wanted something different.
They were really good and neither of us could finish so leftovers for tonight.
The birthday cake made by my co-worker has been a HUGE hit.
Carrot cake with cream cheese icing, how can you go wrong.
Alvin and I went for a walk last night making a stop at our friend’s home ( I and N).
I had packed up some birthday cake for them.
I was going to call ahead and decided not to.
We walked over with the cake in tow.
Rang the door bell twice.
No answer.
Called out for them by the garage as their vehicle was parked in the driveway.
Nothing.
Walked beside the house thinking they might be in the backyard and did not hear the doorbell.
No reply.
Okay, that was odd.
So cake in tow we walked home and I called our friends.
She answered right away.
They were working in the garage and had the radio turned on and up.
Did not hear us.
So we walked back there (not far) and we gave them some birthday cake.
We stayed and had a visit.
I had not realized that it was still that warm so afterward we walked home.
A short walk but that is okay.
Too much smoke to be breathing in ….
My carpool called this morning and they are staggering the entry to her office building this morning so she is picking me up at 7:30 a.m. instead of 6:45 a.m.
If I missed telling you this story.
On my last day of work – my friend’s office building was closed down due to a water main break.
Two weeks later it is being reopened.
Unexpected vacation for some folks.
My friend had most of the time already booked off for vacation.
You never know what can happen.
Oh, the smell of smoke is getting stronger.
I will have to close the windows that are still open.
Do not wish to fill the house in smoke, not good for Mr. Alvin.
He is laying patiently on his blue blanket beside me in the office.
Well time to go and work on the photos so that I can post about my trip.
Lots to add to my word press library which means I have to delete others.
I am so excited to share both the photos and our trip with all of you.
Coming soon!
Have an awesome Wednesday.
Stay safe.
In the heat watch your children and animals closely.
DO NOT LEAVE in a vehicle.
HOT sidewalks / pavement can burn the pads of a dog’s paws.
Special Hello to: my friends and family who make my world turn around.
Always, Carol & Alvin
