Fluffy gets the most loyal dog of the year award.She watches over me.No one comes in my gate w/o my approval. It's amazing how dogs know when U are having a bad day. Taco comes to my b/rm door & scratches on it to get me up.He has kept me moving this winter. His face washing perks me up when I having a bad day. He's dragging socks out of my clothes basket & into the l/rm. He drags a blanket off the futon when he can get up.He's the 1st in the kitchen when I go in to cook.
George runs away when Allen starts frying in the skillet. He knows the smoke alarm is going to go off.He just shakes &shakes when it goes off. He gets traumatized so easily. He's still my loyal Velcro lap buddy when I sleep in my recliner.
Taco is getting more tan hair on his neck & top of his back.brindle I think they call it.
They are like my spoiled kids. They give me hours of company,loyalty & devotion.

Down time ahead
Time of year around the corner I have to gear down. Trying to prepare for the heat ahead. Finished up last of my baking till Oct. Need to finish up Jan's s/book project for b/day. Got cards to do for my VT route for April & May to do.Have 7 Mother's Day cards to make. Trying to finish up my last ceramic project. Started on it last year. I can't hold the tool to do my design work.Got to do o/lines w/ black paint. Then goes in for 1st firing. Then I have to do my glaze work. It's an Indian wedding jar. It was supposed to been for our 30th anniversary last year. Want to give my ceramic paints to a friend who is leaving.Finally have the closet cleaned out. I also have my corner drawers set up for my paper projects. Have e/thing organized. Traded stuff in my stash on Swap-Bot.Have cut back on my Iraq GI route. My hands hurt too much. Chronic tendinitis in elbows & hands from joint laxity. Colon kinking up bad on me. 2 days of laxatives this week on top of s/storms makes for a bad week!!
Not on computer much since it hurts to type.Heat will push me into bedroom in a/noon to breathe. Luckily x-rays no stress fractures, Lab work negative for Sojourns Syndrome. Time coming up to put eye plugs in again for dry eye.

Bad Sandstorms!!
Ate dust Friday,Allen was off. So bad we had to stay in house. No Zoo for us.Car in shop. Lucky on this one the spring broke on top of the rocker arm that goes to a valve.Labor costs from taking all the stuff on top of the engine.Spring broke in 1/2. Luckly we have a honest mechanic.
Alot of damage in NE,where we live. Gusts up to 50 to 75 mph,sky full of blowing sand. Have had to clean the floors x3 this last week. Just cleaned out the back window siils,had to clean them again Mon. Got more cling d/rags to pick up the sand.
Wind so strong it peeled a roof off a house like a can opener,tipped a semi over on f/way by us,blew down a series of power poles on Mc Combs,power out for 6 hrs in that n/hood, blew down a canopy @ a repair shop.
Another set of storms coming in Mon. & Tue. More dusting ahead.
