Thursday Three

1) Mom's Singer Easy Sew sewing machine has died. (Mom doesn't know how old it is but she bought it at Bradlees and they closed in 2000.) After two attempts to clean it and re-time the tension, it still will not sew well. The tension is a mess and no setting actually works. So mom bought this. It's a Kenmore.Mom doesn't need 90 different stitches and all the other fancy stuff a lot of the machines have. This one is simple, easy and NOT BROKEN. It's also a lot quieter.

2) Lucky proves to mom that she could care less about mom's new "Mother's Day Gift" (to herself, mind you.)

3) To see if she would like the machine, mom whipped up this little quilt top. (or flimsy as Auntie would say.)

She doesn't have any particular plans for it as of yet. She just wanted to have some fun.

Sweaty Sunday


It was close to 90 degrees here, so while mom and dad raked, edged the driveway, moved a ton of boxes, mowed the lawn, filled up 6 or so yard bags, and generally sweated the bums off, Lucky and I relaxed and stayed cool.

Hey, we're dogs, not stupid!

Digging In The Dirt

It is supposed to be a nice day today. Mom is going to have fun digging in the dirt. She is going to plant some broccoli and beets. Mom did not realize that everyone (Memere, Auntie, Mr. Karate, Pepere) likes beets and they are all anxiously awaiting them. I guess mom won't have any trouble giving them away.

Meanwhile, Lucky and I will be holding down the foot, guarding the domicile and soaking up the rays. I've said it before and I'll say it again. It's a tough job, but someone has to do it.
