Unbelievable! The air conditioner was running this afternoon and tonight it's going down to 45. I'll have to switch it to heat.

I went down the road to a Farm Stand and got some mums for the front of the mobile home. They were 10 for $15.00. I got yellow ones. They look real pretty. I put them in planters that the former owner left behind. One has pretty green foliage pouring out of it and it looks pretty with the yellow flowers above it.

When I got back, I had some lunch and walked Danny. My niece called and invited me to go with them to a get together at her husband's sister's. They don't live too far from here. Ed's mother made a turkey dinner with all the trimmings. She also made an eye roast and two homemade cakes, vanilla and chocolate and a homemade coconut custard pie. We had a nice time visiting with Ed's family.

On the way home, Dottie called and was getting ready to come down. She stopped in on her way to her trailer at the Indian Acres Campground. We had a nice visit. She liked my plant stand and plants in the kitchen window. It is a wooden plant stand and the Venetian blinds and wood grain. They look nice together.

I met another neighbor when I was walking Danny. His dogs ran out and the little one snapped at Danny. I picked Danny up and Leo settled down. He and Danny became friends. The man's name is Bob and his wife is Carol. He looked to be about my age. There were a lot of Carol's born around the same time I was. You don't hear babies being named Carol anymore. I went to school with about 10 Carols including my good friend who lived across the street.

Bob was taking his dogs up the hill across the street. I don't know what's up the hill; the trail goes into the woods. I started to go up there in the spring but there were ticks all over the place including my yard. I sprayed the yard but I would have to pick them off Danny when I walked him around the neighborhood. I don't see any now. Maybe they died off. Now the fleas are rampant. I met a man in the store looking for something to spray his house for fleas. Last week, I found fleas on Danny even though he has the Frontline Plus. They are supposed to die within twelve hours but I saw flea dirt on him yesterday. I don't know if it's the same flea or if he picked up some new ones. I wasn't able to pick them off. His fur is too thick and curly. They are smaller than ticks and you can't feel whether you caught it or not. I'll have to call the vet to see what I should do.
