We worked in the office, trying to find the top of the pile of paper and paying bills—oh my! We made progress after a good cup of coffee and getting the old heart started. Mary’s stack is only 8″ high, and I did find the top of the desk along with Jimmy Hoffa!
Today, Scout The Wonder Dog gets to go to the groomers, which he enjoys because people come around and say, “Oh, what a pretty puppy!” He knows he is fourteen, but he puts on a good front.
We arrived at the Elks Lodge at noon and double-checked our reservations for Saturday night. We have twenty-five friends and family joining us. We will miss Joe and Amy and the Lind family tomorrow night. We understand their kid’s activities keep them entirely occupied, as it should be!
Sydney joined us today and she keeps everyone giggling. Will and George get to see the latest pictures.
We hardly ever get pictures of us as we do the picture taking but today all that changed! Bob Z snapped a couple of us smiling. Paul is on the right, the one with the beard!
Happy Ninety-Fifth birthday Papa! Hal is Sydney’s father and he joins in all the time. He and Iris know things!
We did surprise him and he blew out the candle with gusto! This time, he kept his teeth in!
We departed the Elks around 2:00 pm as we wanted to visit with Sydney for a while. We then headed to pick up Scout but he was NOT ready yet so we stopped at Aces Bar and Grill for some of their Jalapeno Poppers.
After thirty minutes, we went the groomers called Happy Tails. Scout has gone to them for eight years now and they love him! Did you ever see a dog so happy all the time!
They pick him up and put him on the table as he is, like me, too old to jump! The groomers are such nice people and we always recommend them to friends.
Dr. Mary checks him out and collects his special shampoo and meds. He is our baby! Now he will look pretty for the Pumpkin Carving Party on Sunday! Scout is awaiting Halloween Eve where he gets to go to the door and be greeted by everyone who comes to see him!
Scout said, “Whoa whoa whoa! I am not leaving without my scarf!” The groomers always give their clients a scarf for the current holiday or season.
When we got home, the girls we talking about a surprise birthday party for someone. Vicky brought us cookies from Rockwell’s, just what I need.
We crashed as it was a long day and twice this week were were busy from morning until night. It caught up with us.
