When our Governor finally allowed dog groomers to open up again, I got on the phone and called. I told them I needed a shampoo and a hair cut. We booked a time. They offered to clean my ears and paint my toe nails, which I thought was nice of them. Then they asked if I wanted my anal glands expressed. I hung up the phone.
=====================
The wedding yesterday was beautiful. Probably the most beautiful I have ever attended. Only 25 people were allowed to attend, so it made it seem more intimate. I had time to talk with my grandson before the wedding, gave him my blessing and his penny I had saved from the day he was born--1994. There was lots of hugging and I even got to meet and hold my new great grandson. The grandkids were a bit hesitant about the hugs I wanted. Afraid they may infect me with The Virus. I told them, it was worth it and I was more than willing to take a chance.
The bride's grandma and I fell instantly in love. We sat in big comfy chairs before the wedding and talked and talked. Then the boys--my Marcus and the groom Stephen walked us to our places. I cautioned them to walk slowly because Bride's Gramma and I both have back/leg issues.
After the ceremony, bride and groom walked out, followed by the two witnesses, then the parents. Everyone else just stood around, so I got up, crossed the aisle and took Bride Gramma by the hand and we walked out by ourselves.
There was a small reception at Karen and Mark's the rest of the afternoon. For some reason, the bride's Uncle took an interest in me and we sat alone and talked for a couple of hours. If that kid was only 15 years older, I may have "Cougared" him, but from knowing he's the father of the bride's, younger brother, I'd put his age at early sixties, and that's just a bit too young.
I almost reconsidered when I learned he is a Master Gardener.
=======================
Speaking of gardens. Such a beautiful cool day today, I went out to dig the tall grasses out of my front garden. I also have a giant Burdock living among my Hosta's. It took me 30 minutes, sitting in my camp chair while digging. I don't have enough strength to push a shovel in the ground, so I had to cut off the Burdock--knowing full well, it will just grow back again.
===============
Maybe I should make the long trip to the kids reception in late August and renew my friendship with Master Gardener, Scott?
