Visits from Silver Bay and Mankato makes for a great weekend for us to keep up with Dennis’s granddaughters. Everyone is busy, but it means so much when they care enough to check on that ole Grandpa of theirs. Great granddaughter Lux is going to be two in November. That little girl can really move. Lux enjoyed feeding the Koi and chasing Snuggles. Snuggles didn’t disappoint and played hard with the ping pong ball when Lux threw it.

I am checking on the next door neighbor’s cat for several weeks. It takes a few minutes before he will come out when I stop in to freshen the litter box. When he does come out, it is all about the petting and the rubbing. Loneliness to the max as he will give me a very sorrowful meow as I head for the door.

Hmm, we have really had a string of good eats over the last several nights. Fresh sweet corn for two nights running and I think both Dennis and I agree: it was good and tasty, but that has quenched us of the corn for some time. I cannot believe he has not cracked the refrigerator pickle container as yet to see if the Friday batch is good or not. Do I think he would settle for fried egg sandwiches for supper . . . probably.
