Good morning to you ladies. It is going to be a beautiful day here up in the 60's. I might just ride around with the moon roof open! lol
I have had it with Petsmart's grooming. They charged me $49 to groom him yesterday and he looks like all he had was a bath. The groomer told Jack he was matted, but I always check him before he goes to the salon to make sure and I could take my fingers and run through his coat on his belly area and legs from skin out and my fingers not get tangled but he charged me a dematting fee. Jack is such a wimp he didn't want me complaining, but I told the guy he was an idiot in front of everyone and that he didn't know crap about grooming an animal. There was an asst manager standing there and I told him I was done and going to a new groomer. They were more expensive than anyone in town, they didn't do their jobs and they seemed to all be brain dead as three different times they canceled Fortune's appt when I called and scheduled it instead of going into the store. So, I am going and looking for a groomer today. I have to take Fortune to the vet for his yearly's so I am going to ask them if Paula is back to grooming full time and if she is, I will take him back to her. She was only working every other Friday as she was recovering from breast cancer. She does a spectacular job on him and it costs me $35!
Jean: No, I have less hair than Fortune and I colored it so I am now beauuuuutiful! lol Poor little guy will have to go back to a groomer in 2 weeks since they only cut around his face. The game sounds a bit like Euchre with a main and off jack being the biggest cards though the joker isn't used. Wish I lived near you and we could play cards together. I love to play cards and miss not living in Indiana where I can play. Jack cracked the thing that screws onto the pipe and it was spraying water all over. He actually got a better one that was all metal and has two heads, one handheld, one permanent, rotates easily instead of stiffly and we like it a lot. The other one set the spray so high it would hit the back wall and when I went to get in, it would spray me right in the face before I even got in. That was ok for Jack, he's 6'2" but I always got blasted right in the face for the whole dang shower.
Susan: I am so sorry you lost another friend. She was very young to have passed away. I imagine when I die, I will go into a national cemetary, probably on top of Jack as I can be buried free that way. Jack will probably enjoy me being on top..... No one plays whist anymore and Jack knows how to play it. I love to play pinochle, but haven't played since Jack and I were first married so I have pretty much forgotten how to play. Jack keeps wanting me to take bridge lessons, but I figure I am too dumb for that! I can't keep anything straight. Of course, I could use the method I used to memorize stuff in college, I would put it to music. Jack is amazed that I can't remember something, but I can sing practically any song that comes on the radio without even thinking about the words. The only thing I couldn't put to music was french! lol
I am almost done with the sweater. I have a few inches left on one side to sew up then do the crochet around the neck and it is done. The sleeves are too big I discovered but ahh well. It sure turned out pretty. I will take a pic when it is all finished.
Have a nice weekend y'all! (that seems criminal for a yankee to say y'all! lol)
