Late post . . . . .

Sorry for the late post. I've been busy today and will be busy tomorrow. Sometimes there's just not enough time to do everything. ■ My across-the-street-neighbor, Jac, used my alligator loppers today. First time they've been used and they did very well. ■ Cubs lost tonight. Can't win 'em all. ■ Lots to do tomorrow in prep for the trip. Shopping, trip to the dentist, new watch, distilled water . . . just lots of little and big stuff. ■ There's a faint smell of skunk outside. Man, I wish those critters would leave our neighborhood - by at least a mile. Our old dog, Maizy - gone for about a year and a half now, got skunked 3 times. Molly, she's still with us, has been skunked twice. I can't stand the smell of skunk! ■ Time for bed. ■
