Back To Normal--------Almost

It is so good to see you this evening. I promise I won't talk about the wedding anymore. For awhile.lol You will be happy to know the coffee is on and you can have either DD or Kona! Yes I have a new Keurig! Can you believe it? I called the company told them my frustrations and they sent me a new one.

It is just like the old one. I don't know if I have ever had such a quick reaction from a company. I was really impressed.
Well this has been a week. I picked Dasko up from doggy camp on Monday, so my day was shot. I did do laundry. Tuesday I cleaned house because it was awful and I was hosting my card group on Wednesday night and my domino group on Thursday. We had so much fun  both times. I love playing games. Wednesday night we had home made bar be que, baked beans, and coleslaw. I made a strawberry cake that would feed both groups. Thursday we had chipped ham sandwiches, chips & dip,  and cantaloupe.The chipped ham sandwiches are what we used to get years ago at a place called Babe Malloys. They were wonderful. I make mine on the George Foreman. You add sweet mustard and pickle relish after they are grilled a bit. I grill my buns too. Yum they are so good. Do you often remember places you ate when you were dating, or newly married. We used to go one place and get Orange Juliuses, NanDentons was the name, on to Babe Malloys for sandwiches, and then on to another place for onion rings. I guess that was a true progressive dinner.lol
Anyway since I was having company I tweaked a little.You all know what a hard time I have with my mantel. I changed it again. I sent my friend Sandi some pictures, we got on the phone and this is what we ended up with. We do this from time to time, helping each other. Our tastes are alike, yet different. Does that make sense?

I then went to the top of the entertainment center and did this.

I had greenery in this old box. I like this better. For a while anyway.lol
A few posts ago I showed my shelves over the sink and asked for ideas. One of the ideas was more crocks on the shelves. So I shopped around the house and found some I could put on them. What do you think?

I want to leave my coffee grinders, lamps and Nantucket Basket up there, as I have no place else to keep them. Any way I am okay with this. I had crocks all the way across the two shelves, but liked this better for me. My small yellowware bowls were my Mothers. She kept leftovers in them. Let me know what you think.
Well this poor fellow has had a hard week too. A vet visit Friday.

He had to have his toenails cut. He is horrible! Usually takes our vet, a tech, and me to do it. This time there was no way he was going to allow her to touch his feet. Even with a muzzle. He was thrashing around and she felt he was going to hurt himself and be traumatized. She has cared for him, even before he came to me. In fact if you remember she found him for me. To make a long story short, he had to be tranquilized. It was very hard for me, but he had to have them clipped. Anyway, while asleep he peed and had blood in his urine. I watch him carefully as he has had urinary tract infections before. Poor baby is now on antibiotics. Don't you feel bad for him? He is fine now and was fine other than the infection. When she called his prescription into Walmart, Michael says, "Oh that is my dog-in-law!"
Other that this my week has been almost back to normal. That and the fact I am home for several weeks is a good thing. Thanks for coming Through My Back Door where life is good.
betty
PS: Guess what is coming up this week? The Worlds Longest Yard Sale! I am so excited. Can't wait to see what goodies await us. I am looking for only one thing. Hopefully I can post a picture next post.
PSS:Today was Christmas in July in Clinton. Never saw so many people. Lots of neat goodies. The Hen looks spectacular decorated. You will have to hurry in and see.
PSSS:When Dasko is finished with his antibiotics, I have to collect a specimen to take to the vet. I did this once before and it was a circus. People were going up the road very slowly to see what I was doing. I do not look forward to entertaining the neighbors again.(Oh dear I hope this isn't too much information)lol
