Vorlon Whispers

We got up at 4:45 and got ready for the drive to MD. I walked Danny in the dark. The car was mostly loaded last night but I still had to run around doing things. The plants needed to be watered and the trash put out. I pack up the suitcase and we were on our way by 6:30.

We stopped in Woodstown to get gas, walk Danny, use the restroom, and get a cup of WaWa Coffee. We arrived at 8:15. I unloaded the car and Danny ran straight to the bedroom and barked at a corned of the wall and shelf I have the TV on. He’s been barking and growling at it all day. I believe a mouse must have been there but Danny scared him away. His scent must remain. My job will be to plug up all the holes in this place. There may be a hole where the water or drain comes up in the bathroom. I can’t get at it because of the bottom of the cabinet. The bottom doesn’t go all the way across but it covers the part where the pipes are. Maybe I can get it from underneath.

My nephew, Bob and his friend came at 9:00 with the door. It didn’t fit. Evidently, my other nephew measured incorrectly. Thankfully, Bob had the skill to knock out the stud and move it over. The door said 34X79 but the frame was 36x79. Anyway, the door looks great and works great as well as keeping the place a lot warmer.

I brought the packages with me that I needed to mail. The post office here is a lot friendlier than the one in Vineland and there was no line. I also stopped at the library to get a couple movies, Ratatouille and Surf’s Up. They were on my list but I don’t remember where I got the list from.

I continued decorating the tree and garden under it. I have some more gold ornaments for the tree in the front room but I haven’t finish with that yet. I put lights along the railing of my front entrance and steps. I did some more raking of the yard but had to quit so I could walk Danny before dark. The park has a rule that you are not allowed to walk around the streets after dark. I have to walk Danny in the yard at night. He didn’t seem interested in walking anywhere today. I don’t know if he heard gunshots or he wanted to get back in the house to bark at whatever he smelled.

The smell of the dead critter was gone when I got here. I was very relieved. I either got it up in the shop vac or it disintegrated and dissipated. I still have to find out if there is a hole in my duct work. I won’t be able to do it tomorrow because a winter storm is coming. Snow, sleet and rain. I hope I can go to the Christmas Concert at the Presbyterian Church. One of the ladies in our exercise group at the Methodist Church invited all the ladies in the class to come. The Presbyterian Church is on the other side of the bridge. We’ll have to see how the weather is in the morning.
