Name that muse!
Haven't posted since the 4th. I get tired of the computer fast. I read some of my favorite blogs, check email and correspond with a few people, play the scrabble games on Facebook and look up what is good to watch on TV. No creative writing. My muse is named Blah!
Daughter had a birthday. I'm not telling her age. Suffice to say, I have no more children in their 30s or even early 40s. Eldest had a birthday in May, he's past 50. Someone is getting old.
Hot summertime is here with every day in the 90s and no rain for quite a while. I see some of the plants are suffering, but there is nothing to be done about it.
I have been seeing two cats in the back yard and on the patio. I think I have discouraged them from coming on the patio with the broom and the waterhose, but I see them in the flower beds. If someone dumped them here I am wishing bad luck on them for sure. Very callous and uncaring. Of course I am a bit callous too because I am going to have to call the city to pick them up if they stay too very long. My cats sleep on the patio in their crate and I don't want stray cats giving them fleas or something worse. Of course right now Rumpie and Stumpie growl and hiss, but they might get used to them coming around. I am not feeding them. I am careful to keep the catfood sealed up and out of their reach and when I put it in the crate, it's where they would have a hard time reaching it. Maybe they will leave and find someone who wants them. Our local shelter is full and not taking any right now.
I vacuumed and did a little bit around here this morning and they after I showered, I went to the PO. I would like to go to the grocery store, but Gordon won't hear of it. He says it would be too much for me. It reminds me of mothers who make their children wear jackets because the moms are cold. I think I know what I can do, but he won't believe me.
Now I need to go see what's in the freezer to cook for supper.

It's so sad when animals are just dropped off by uncaring owners. They just don't realize it would be more humane to take them to the shelter than to let them run free. Lots of that is going on around my area, Flint Michigan. I live about 20 miles from Flint in the country and this is where they love to drop them off.. I watched one dog sit in my neighbors front yard for a few days, watching each car that went by, wagging it's tail thinking here comes my owner. It broke my heart and finally neighbor and I had to do something. So I was elected to take it to the shelter. I'm like you, I wish these people bad luck. May their car break down so that they can never drop off another animal out here.
Lots of people are out of work around here and so the animal is the first to go, but why why why drop them off to fend for themselves. I wish these people could see the sad look on their animals face after they've left.... thinking their animal will find a good home....they don't....
Who's getting old? your daughter? yes, she is.lol
we got flooded up in the metroplex but just alot of rain here in Cleburne.
that is how we got our last dog-Lily hoping someone else would take her.
yes, take care of yourself
That is how I got the best dog I have ever had. She was dropped off and came looking for a home. Been here 9 years. She picked us and once she found the home she wanted she wouldn't leave. We fell in love with her and the rest is history. Sad it has to happen that way. But with her I am glad.
The big German shepherd dog that got dumped here a few weeks ago is happily living in a really nice beach home with a really nice single lady and they are both doing well together. That dog was lucky too, because the shelter is not taking dogs and anyway, if owners do not claim them in 30 days, they euthanize them. So I hope you don't have to call the pound to pick the stray cats up, because they would probably do the same with them. Sad. As if you don't have enough stress in your life already, all you needed were two stray cats to worry about!
