Busy Monday

What a day yesterday- up at 3:30am, out of the house at 4:45am, drive to Oakley and take the kids to school. Anita was in Montana with her mom seeing her neice graduate from college. Marc had to leave at 5:30am for an important meeting 7:00 am meeting in Milpitas. After I dropped the kids at school, it gave me a chance to do some errands that had been backing up and do some shopping. In spite of multiple trips to school at different times , I was able to make it an enjoyable day. Treated myself to a nice breakfast at Fagans, went to the bank, dropped of a picture to get the glass replaced (it broke during the move), and then shopping at Pier 1, Cost Plus, Lane Bryant, Delta Furniture.

The kids were great - everyone seemed to know what they were supposed to do, and did it. All I had to do was hang around.

Jim seemed to enjoy a quiet, do nothing day. It was too hot to play golf.

In between driving kids, I went by my old house in Oakley. Sad. The new owners have allowed it to go to seed - the plants are over grown, there are huge weeds in the yard, the shrubs are either dead, dying or have not been pruned. It was one of the nicer yards and now it's the worst looking house in the cul-de-sac. I almost feel like I should apologize to the neighbors.

Dottie has a swollen face and as soon as the vet's office opens, I'll call and try to get her in today. Poor kitty - I think she has an abcessed tooth. She has dreadful breath and doesn't want to eat. I hope the vet can take care of it today.

Bustopher is still enjoying the roses. He's been sneaking up on the table and putting his face in the bouquet. He doesn't do it when we're around, but there are leaves and paw prints on the table, so we know he's been at it. We caught him with his face in the roses before - at Valentine's day and Mother's day.

It looks like it could become a busy day, especially if I can get Dottie in to the vet.

Love to all,
Corrie and Jim
