Today was the day that Cee finally got to see Dennis and Diane's house. Diane gave her a thorough tour, including the safe room. It really has some amazing features including the most unusual *sinks* I have ever seen. They don't look like sinks at all but rather like fountains that have the water turned off. The first time I went to wash my hands, all I could think was *How the hell do you get the water to flow?* Very different.
I brought her three dozen eggs since she had been telling me about how many eggs she goes through on an average day. She had some more egg cartons she had saved for me. Cee had brought me one, too. We sat and visited for about 2-1/2 hours and then excused ourselves. Diane had invited me to dinner if I felt up to it and I told her I would give her a call. When Cee went home shortly thereafter, I gave her four of the tamales that she had a craving for. I had forgotten we had them in our freezer out in the garage until the Beast reminded me.
After that, I called Diane and asked her when dinner would be served. I had to give Baron his food (it's really a snack to tide him over to his meal later in the evening). I made some rice to add as a kind of treat since he loves rice. I then went across the street to Diane's where we had a pre-dinner drink and lots of good conversation that Dennis joined in, too. We finished dinner before I had to leave so I could put the chickens away. What's truly funny is that they had put themselves into the coop already. I just gathered the eggs and put down the corn for them. They jumped down off the roosts and ran out into the outside area to eat when I did that. I could tell they were waiting, just patiently waiting, for that treat.
I made Baron his *big* meal which included more rice and some chicken added to his dog food. I was surprised to see that the Beast had bought some dog food (canned) that said it was *Senior dog blend*. I read the ingredients and noticed that it said it had added vitamins for good health. The Beast only buys dog food that starts off with real meat and none of the crazy *filler* type ingredients that you have no idea what the hell they are but you know they can't be good.
I'm sitting here snacking on tortilla chips and chunky salsa. Diane gave me some of the peppers that she is growing off her patio. I forget the name of one of them but I also have some nice, fresh jalapenos. The other type she gave me is a long, thin pepper that is super hot. She said it's best to wear gloves to cut them up because their oil is incredibly hot and tough to get off your skin. I can just imagine what it may do to the inside of your mouth. LOL!
I'm writing this at 2am because I forgot to do it earlier and got up to use the bathroom. Good timing because Baron had to go out. I was in my jammies so I just let him go out front and turned the porch light on for him so he could see the stairs when he was done. He has a hard time getting up them in the light and it usually takes him a couple tries before he makes it up. At least he hasn't fallen going up the stairs..... so far. When he came in and went to go lay down, he must have been a bit careless because he yelped in pain. I feel so bad for him and debated giving him aspirin in a piece of hot dog but didn't since he was comfortable (finally). I'll give him some in the morning so he has a decent day without too much pain.
Love you all. Be good. Be kind. ***Hugs***
