Everything brought me joy today.
First, I took my dog (Kelly) to Pet Smart. Bought her a doggie seatbelt harness. It is the best one I have found, really padded and comfortable for her. We stayed at Pet Smart about an hour and a half. She met many dog friends and human friends. From there, I stopped at Arby's and bought her two Arby's roast beef sandwiches at the drive-thru. Pulled over in a parking space at Arby's, left the air conditioner on wide open while she feasted on her roast beef and drank ice water out of a dish I brought along. Then we went to a park, really nice one. Kelly has not been to that one so everything was so interesting to her. We left and shopped around looking at houses. I want something bigger. There was one in a very nice, quiet neighborhood with a great backyard and plenty of shade. I called and the realtor lived right across the street so he came over and we went inside. I really like the stone floors throughout. The only carpet is located in the bedrooms. In fact, I like everything about it. I really had my mind made up on a brand new one but this one is so spacious, plus the exceptionally grand
shady backyard. Kelly made friends with another dog across the back fence. I don't know. I can easily afford the payments but I am not impulsive about things like this. I need to do a whole lot more looking on the weekends.
Met a friend for a very late lunch - I love caesar salad with grilled chicken strips. Nice visit with her. We got caught up. She is so easy to be with and makes me laugh a lot. I enjoy being around people like that. I have never met our Diva here at this site but I bet she is like that.
Late afternoon today ...
I was mowing the lawn, trying to hurry because dark clouds were rolling in. My entire upper body was drenched with sweat. It started raining very hard. I was about to head for the back to house the mower and go indoors. Suddenly I realized how good the rain felt on my sweaty body. I played in the rain today for the first time in ... probably decades. LOL! I cannot descibe how good it felt. I pushed the mower around back and got it out of the rain. Then I opened the back door, Kelly was standing there peering at me as if I had lost my marbles. Then she ran out and played too.
Joyful day! The whole day!
Wait until I start whining about indoor housework tomorrow. I'd rather be outside in the wretched heat digging ditches all day than doing inside work. LOL!
