As you know, Sunday was Grandparents Day. It would have been nice to hear from even one of my grandkids but .... nothing. No one called. No one came by. No card. No flowers. Nothing. Sad that they didn't think of me but this isn't a well-advertised holiday. They just kept living their lives, as usual.
The Princess noted on FB that poor Gunner was miserable and had a fever. But she is hoping it's just more teeth coming in. It does that to babies and yet she was worried and hoping it wasn't something more serious.
Baron fell asleep behind my recliner in my computer room and just farted and farted. It was agony for a while but then he woke up and wanted to go out. I was happy to let him out back and hoped he pooped while he was out there. I don't know what it is that sends him into that kind of a night but I know the Beast has complained about it several times when he goes to bed early and has the door closed. There is nothing that smells as bad as doggie farts. And he is a BIG dog. When he came in from the yard, he headed for his regular bed. I don't know if he kept it up because I decided that my recliner looked really inviting to sleep in.....LOL. And I did.
I fell asleep around 10pm and woke up a little bit ago (it's almost 4am). So I got up to do this blog. The highlight of my day was when Cee came over and we made shrimp scampi for our lunch. I put the Italian bread in the oven to crisp up the crust then cut us a few pieces for our lunch, too. Cee made the scampi. I just cooked the fettucini for it. It was wonderful. Cee has always been a good cook. I even have leftovers so guess what I am having for lunch tomorrow (today).
The Beast didn't call me today, which was a bit of a surprise since he always feels he has to remind me to feed Baron or find out if Baron has pooped for the day (I am NOT kidding!) But then, Butch's sister was expected to arrive and it could have been a busy time for them. It has been a few years since the three of them have been together and there is a lot they probably had to catch up on. Bevie went to Paris for a week and I am sure she had lots of pictures to share. Now that she doesn't have her mother to care for, she is doing a lot of traveling. She is going to Germany next month, too. It's nice that she is able to do that. She's 77 but, thankfully, she's healthy. I wish I was as healthy...LOL.
She went to Paris with her nephew and his family. I saw some of the pictures that they took that they posted on FB and they were great. That's one of the places that I wish I could visit but the Beast is so involved with his church that he no longer wants to travel like we used to do. I guess I have to wait until he dies but I don't think that's going to be any time soon. He's very stubborn and I know he will fight till the end. I sure don't wish it on him. I don't wish for anyone to die. I've lost too many people that I cared for already. I would miss him a lot. I just wish we shared the same dreams again.
Cee and I sat out on the deck for a while and she got a kick out of watching the hummingbirds feeding from my feeder for them. She commented on the fact that a few of them were different colors. We DO have a variety of them that feed there. They have gotten used to us now being on the deck and a couple of them flew so close to us that we could feel their breeze as they whizzed by. It was a surprise to me but they just ignore the fact that people are on the deck and fly by as if we aren't even there. I like that. They know we aren't there to hurt them so they can ignore us.
I'll be heading back to bed once I get this posted. I still need a bit more sleep before I am up for the day. I have wash to do and the dishwasher needs to be emptied. I have dishes to go in once I do that. I bought a few new containers (the plastic kind) since I have so few left now that have lids. I need to go through all of them and get rid of the ones that don't have them any more. Where do they go? The lids, I mean. It's not like I throw them away but they just seem to disappear. Does that happen to you, too? I guess the sprites that steal socks must also steal the lids. LOLOL!
Love you all. I hope you have a wonderful week and good weather, too. I do wish poor California would get some decent rain. Their normal rainy season is still a few months away and they really need the rain. It seems like many of the states that needed rain have gotten it (and still are getting it) but not California. That's what usually causes the wildfires that just devastates vast areas. That's sad because it's such a beautiful state. We loved to travel all over it when we lived in San Diego. Yosemite was awesome. Our favorite areas though were King's Canyon and Sequoia National Park. We camped there a lot with our kids.
Be good. Be kind. ***Hugs***
