Chewlee was cute today. She has days like that. She was very laid back and happy. She got ready for church and stole a few minutes to ride around on her bike when the Beast sat outside and let Baron out for a bit. When they were leaving, she ran back in because she said she left HER bible behind. She DOES have her own but she can't read most of it, especially the parts that have many archaic words. But it makes her feel big to have her own to carry with her.
She went home with one of the parishioners to play for a while with one of their kids. They have the cutest little girl that is right around Chewlee's age or maybe a bit older. She's been here to the house a time or two and I think she's cute as hell. Her dad is black and her mother is white and she is the milky skinned result you often see. Adorable and very pretty. She and Chewlee get along great. She stayed for about two hours and then the Beast went to get her. He didn't want her to overstay her welcome since the family has relatives visiting.
When she got home, I had to fight with her to get her out of her *Sunday go-to-meeting* dress because the Beast wanted to take her picture and she assumed he wanted her in her good dress. I checked and then fought with her over the play clothes she was going to wear. Lord, this kid is so opinionated at times that she drives me nuts. It's really that she has her own idea of what items should go together but she is often wrong because she will match things based on if they have the same colors (but not the same patterns....LOL).
The pictures the Beast took are cute. I liked one in particular. He is experimenting with some new backgrounds he was given that are just incredible and there are over 1,000 different ones! I was stunned! The family that took Chewlee home from church with them is the one that gave the Beast all the different backgrounds. They are all different, all high resolution and just stunning. The reason for the picture of Chewlee was to try using a couple different ones with her as the central character. He did a nice job. I'm going to try to get him to put one or two on a thumb drive for me so I can post them for you to see what I mean.
Once Chewlee came in for the night (she was playing on this sand and rock pile over at Dennis's house that hasn't been cleared off yet), she settled down with the last pickle and was drinking the pickle juice. She got the bright idea of putting it into this candy sprayer that she had and was spraying it in her mouth like it was a throat spray. Too funny. We filled it up about four times and her mother had a fit when she saw it. She said Chewlee would be spraying it all over the house and that was the most ridiculous thing I heard come out of her mouth. Chewlee loves pickle juice and wouldn't be wasting it that way. But I told her to leave it and it would be here for her tomorrow, along with the rest of the pickle juice. Chewlee gave me a hug and didn't carry on at all because she knew I meant it.
MY day encompassed making spaghetti sauce but I made penne pasta instead of spaghetti noodles. It was wonderful. It was also ready for the Beast (and Chewlee, I thought) when he/they got home from church. Chewlee had some later on when she got home. After that, she made serious inroads into the pickle spears the Beast bought the other day. There weren't that many in the jar. I told him to buy the kind I had. They lasted longer. She's just as happy with two small pickles as she is with two spears.
I also swept the floor since mud had been tracked in by everyone but me. I didn't go out where I could pick up any mud. It looked awful. I finally pulled out the vacuum cleaner and used the flooring setting to get up as much as possible. The Beast said he will mop the floor (actually, he uses one of those new floor cleaners that spray and wipe) tomorrow. I shrugged and will let him. Saves me the trouble...LOL.
Our weather, like many areas, has had some nice, cooler weather but tomorrow it's back to temperatures in the 80's. Not that *I* mind because 80's isn't as bad as the 90's for the Beast's comfort. Even the 80's bothers him but not as much. And I don't worry as much for him when he has to be out in it. Dennis's lawn needs mowing and it means he will be out in the sun while doing that. He's got to get it done before the rains hit us again which will be in about 3 days.
Got to go. Love you all. You can subscribe to me, ya know, if you like reading about my boring life. Of course, I might make your life seem more interesting...LOL. Be good. Have a great week and drive carefully. The life you save may be your own. **wink**
