OXOXOXOXOX

.

It is also Opening Day at the Track.

.

And he has gone to work, for a couple of hours, in the family drug store.   He doesn't have to.   He wants to.  It gets him down in the center of town, on the Big Opening Day.

.

Where he has been, for the last 58 years...

Rainy and recovery....

Our hearth room....  Drapes pulled and little string of faerie lights on.  While our grand daughter recovers from having her 4 wisdom teeth out, on Monday.

~

She has been laying low and taking her meds, with soft food and has been quite good.  But today "could be" the worst day.  She is in "her little nest" on the couch.  It's rainy and cool, so I straightened out her pillows.  Made 2 blankets "neat" and put them on her, and around her.  And quiet prevails.  :-)

At noon time, "Thor" (Noah Syndergaard) is supposed to be pitching for the Mets.  We can have that on the tv, with sound off, if she wishes.  And she can sleep right through it too, if she wishes.  I don't mind sound off.  With my hearing loss, I read the captions, rather than listen, anyway.  ,-)

So, with not much going on here, and rainy weather, not good for photos....  I'll post some lovely pictures from "Victoria" magazine.

Mmmmmmm, aren't they lovvvvvvvvvvely...............????????

LOVELY weekend.......

Father and son, chatting over the back fence, on a lovely Saturday morning...
.

Our grandson, the "squirrel whisperer"...  :-)   This baby squirrel became attached to him.  Crawling up to his shoulders and sitting there, watching the world go by.  When he put the baby squirrel down, it would follow him...

Later, the baby squirrel went to Animal Rescue. 

They already are trying to keep a nest of surviving baby rabbits safe.  Until it's silly mother, takes them away.  -sigh-

All this, with their own dog!!!!
.

I grabbed an iron rake, and dug/pulled up the matted dirt and weed roots, which were covering some of the bricks, on our old back patio!  You can see the process, in the above photo.
.

And here are results!  I have more to dig/pull up.  And need to sweep or hose the dirt away.  But this is an accomplishment!  Bringing our old patio bricks and rocks back out, into the sun!  :-)
.

Air War Games going on, again this morning.  Good thing!!!!  With all the provocation, we are getting, from our enemies!!!

Now, if only we had a Commander In Chief, who had the guts, to act like a man.  Instead of to just wander around, with his nose in the air, and his head, in the clouds.

Grrrrrr....

"Maggie" and "Clara".... Our "Grand Dogs"... :-)

Our son brought their dogs over, for a visit.  This is

'Clara'...  A Swiss Mountain Dog..   100 pounds...  But still

.

And here is olden "Maggie", a beautiful Black Lab.  Whom
 .
I love dearly!  It's hard to get photos, since they are in
 .
constant motion.  :-)

.

Dear 'Maggie' ~ And big, big 'Clara' ~ Our 'Granddogs' .

.

On the move again!  But sweet 'Maggie' is still sitting.  I
 .
don't blame you 'Maggie"!  You and I are both olden.   .

And we do not care to bounce around, like the Youngin's.  ,-)
