This weeks Questions:

1. What is your favorite thing to BBQ?

2. What is your favorite thing to do on a holiday long weekend in the summer?

3. Who was the last person you ate out with?  Where did you go?  What was the occasion?

4. Do you recycle?

And don't forget to add a 5th Question on your own blog so we can answer as we hop around!

My Answers:

1. Chicken
2. I don't usually do anything - just play in the pool and work in the garden.
3. My daughter, Quadelahara  - a Mexican restaurant here in town and there was no occassion - She will often show up at my work when she has a day off and ask if I want to do lunch - usually she means "Mama, will you buy me lunch?" And I LOVE it when that happens.
4. Not as much as I should.

My 5th question this week: Does anyone out there have pets and how do you deal with the problem of shedding - see my post here. 

 

 

Hair, Hair, Hair Everywhere!

For those of you who have pets - how do you deal with the hair?

Kimmy is a Husky mix and she is an old dog. In this weather, she wants to be inside and I don't have the heart to make her stay out in the heat. But with the heat comes the shedding. She actually has clumps of her coat falling out. Every day, I brush her before she comes in and this is what I get.

 She takes the brushing pretty well - I think it must feel good to her.







Pandora is a Maine Coon and needless to say,  she sheds a LOT. Lately, she has decided that Kimmy is her best friend. If Kimmy is inside, Pandora is right there with her.

Macy is a plain old alley cat but she sheds too. About a month ago she discovered that the towel shelf in the bathroom made a cozy bed. I had to put a rug over the hand towels because I grabbed one to dry my face one day and ended up spitting cat hair!



I've lived in this house for 2 years. The old place had wall to wall carpeting and I vacuumed all the time and yes, there was always lots of hair but I didn't SEE it. I've noticed since I've been here that the hair shows up more on the hardwood floors. I sweep every day, then go back over it with the dust mop and it always picks up more hair! Makes me wonder how much I missed when I had the carpeting! Anybody else have this problem?

Veteran's Memorial Park

 We have a new Veteran's Memorial Park. The dedication was this morning. The park has ball fields for the kids to play on - baseball, soccer, basketball.... The land was purchased in 1993, planning started in 2003 and it is just now finished. We had a nice ceremony pointing out that without the veterans, the kids would not be able to play ball like they can now. I hope some of them remember that when they go there. The Boy Scouts were there and helped with the raising of the flag. Sadly, we did not have any WWII vets there as they are pretty much all gone, but we had quite a few from Korea, Vietnam, Dessert Storm and Iraq. Every branch was represented, including the Coast Guard.

Six Word Saturday

To participate all you need to do is describe your life (or something) in a phrase using just six words. For more information, go to Show My Face. and Cate will explain it. Add an image, a video, a song, nothing.
