It’s been a while since we updated this blog so today I’ll try to catch up. First the weather here in Benson has been great. No wildfires, snow, or rain like some places we see on TV. Up until a few days ago our routine was simple. We go for a walk after breakfast, and then I do odd jobs which usually include some wood carving. Then it’s BBQ time and 3 out of 5 nights Carol goes with the gals to play cards/games. Of course she also goes to Wal-Mart, Safeway, and Red Hat lunches in between. Last week during a brief moment when we had time to talk, I asked Carol what she wanted for Christmas. Big mistake….she said there was only one thing she wanted. So for the next week I spent many hours on line learning more than I ever wanted to know about Chihuahuas. We have a friend here in the park that last year bought a puppy (Chihuahua) and it has a great disposition and not at all like most ankle snapping, barking little brat dogs I associate with all the Chihuahuas had I even seen. So, in our travels looking for the right dog, we finally found “the right dog”. A female, short hair, small (4.2 lbs), 2-1/2 yr old, named Daisy Mae. Would you believe this: Daisy is the mother of our friends Chihuahua. How’s that for luck?
So now that Carol has more to do than I do, I guess I have been elected to build more fencing in the back yard for Daisy. In my spare time I’m learning my lines for the Christmas play I’m in here at the park. And at 2PM on Thursdays I teach wood carving. So you see we are not bored in any way. LR
