June 30, 2023 in the United States ⋅ ☀️ 97 °F
Many of you know that Kim is a director at a preschool called Play Adventures. They are expanding out of the owners home to a commercial property. Of course both Kim and owner are out of country while renovations are starting on the site. So I get the opportunity to help. Today it is checking out the success of the weed killer, working slowly and open up building and grounds for the pest company. It is a former Head Start site. But has been very neglected for about 7 years.Read more

It is 60 degrees and I am almost cold. Sitting on patio waiting for 8am so can do some mowing. I feel a "bit"guilty not being at the Forest Cove barbecue and parade.
Kim and family are in Spain. Very quiet here other than the sounds from the neighbors pickleball courts. Hope you all have a safe holiday.Read more

I had to let Beau go today. His lymph nodes were so swollen he had a rough time eating or finding a comfortable position. Not an easy thing to do but could not watch him hurt.

Sorry to have to share this way.Read more

Next was mini golf with souvenir golf balls, then off to water park. Super crowded so only lasted 2 hours. Lunch and quiet time now. Not sure what will pop up for this evening.Read more
