I went to my brother, Don's. He was shopping in the morning so we timed it just right and arrived at his house at the same time. I forgot Sparky's crate but had a portable one in my trunk so I tried it out. I threw a treat inside and he went right in. The three of us walked to the WaWa (a convenience store) and got some sandwiches for lunch. I waited outside with Sparky. Don got roast beef club sandwich with horse radish. I like horse radish but this was really hot. It opened up my sinuses real good. I was having a problem with clogged sinuses and was afraid it would become an infection. Well, the horse radish did the trick. I should keep some on hand.
After lunch, we picked up my brother, Rick and his wife, Sylvia and went to the cemetery. I was unable to find any grave blanket around here since the Apple Barn closed. On the way to Don's, I saw a place at Rita's Water Ice selling trees and things for the cemetery so we stopped there to get my grave blanket which was twice as expensive as I had been paying at the Apple Barn. I also go a log for my parents grave. Don had gotten a little live tree at the Acme Super Market and some red balls and garland at Kmart. He figured it cost less then the grave blanket. Rick and Sylvia usually get a blanket at Produce Junction but they were sold out. They got a wreath. Anyway, off to the cemetery we went. I brought a brush to brush off the fall leaves and debris and we all put out things on the graves. Don decorated his tree which he anchored down with tent stakes.
When we got back, I took Sparky for a walk and packed up the car to come home. I usually stay overnight but there have been burglaries in the area and I didn't want to leave the house empty all weekend. I guess people are getting desperate. Our food bank usually serves 20 people a month and last Tuesday they had 20 in one day and the next day 22. They had to put a sign on the door that they were out of food. Come back next week. They are appealing to all the church for food..
The government keeps saying the economy is getting better. I wonder what planet they are living on.
