I fell asleep last night watching some Canadian Western. I woke up at 11:00pm and didn't know if it was day or night as the light was on. I didn't blog; I went straight to bed.
It rained all day yesterday. I was able to plant my peony before the rain came. I had 2 1/2 inches in my rain gage. I decided to go to the store. I went to the Home Depot and got some things on my list. I got some redwood stain to do my picnic table, my fence, front and back steps and my landscape timbers.
There is a big shopping plaza there so I went into the pet store and got Danny a T-shirt. Next, I went into the dollar store and got a numbers of things on my list. I needed wax paper and plastic zip-lock bags in all sizes as well as trash bags. I got some paint brushes for the redwood stain. I won't bother to clean them; I'll just toss them out when I'm done. There was also a super market so I shopped there rather than go to another area to shop.
When I got back, it was past lunchtime so I took Danny out and then got some lunch. I had some lettuce that Ida gave me so I made a big salad. I cut up some cheese and scrapped the crumbs onto Danny's dog food. Then I sprinkled some Parmesan on both my salad and Danny's food. He doesn't like his food so I thought maybe the parm would spruce it up for him and it did.
Because of the rain, I was unable to do the yard work and painting. I decided to work on the wholes under my sinks. I removed the duck tape I had put down. My friend, Dottie said that her husband, George, stuffed steel wool down the holes and the mice couldn't chew through it. I had bought a bag of steel wool so I proceeded to stuff it down the holes. I pulled it apart some and jammed it down around the pipes and the crack behind the furnace. I used a dandelion tool to stuff it down. It worked well. I didn't know what I was going to do behind the furnace because a molding was missing and there was no room to put one in there. Dottie also uses an electronic pest device that plugs into a socket. I don't know if that would be good for Danny. I'll have to read up on it.
I had three calls from people wishing me a happy birthday. My niece called around five and so did my sister-in-law, Sylvia. Sylvia called when I was talking to Cheryl so I called her back. After dinner, my friend, Cheryl called. It was good to hear from everyone. I also got cards from my family and friends.

Dear Karol,
I'm also wishing you a (belated) Happy Birthday. I didn't know it was your birthday. Isn't it strange that even though I've never seen you or talked to you that wishing you a Happy Birthday would matter to me? But, it certainly does. I've become a friend that cares about you through reading your blog each day. I always read Ted's blog and I came to know you some because he wrote about you oftentimes. When he passed away, I remember thinking that I would never know how you were doing. I'm so glad you decided to keep all of us that care for you up-to-date on what and how you're doing. It gives us a chance to pray for you and encourage you in all things.
It's a bit chilly here today, but, the sun is shining brightly and that is a good thing!! Again, wishing you a belated Happy Birthday and wishing you all the best life has to offer Karol.
Love, Ruth
Thank you Ruth.
