Never a dull moment!

Well since my last entry, the USA and England tied in their first game at the World Cup! Not a football fan, but a tie is better than a loss! Sorry about Algeria losing, though.

Tuesday evening we will be hosting a back yard pizza party! Firing up the wood oven, and inviting about 12 friends! Mostly are my quilting friends and their husbands. It should be a fun evening--and the fans can go and watch their game when the time comes--- so much for technology!

Finished my table runner--now have to find an envelope to put it in and send it off!

Weather is warm--in the 30's but bearable. As long as it doesn't go into the upper 30's and 40!

Randa found a cute little fluffy long haired yellow kitten--about a month old. At first he was shy, but now he's taken to us all. The big dogs are curious but kind! TT follows him around but is not aggressive. Shadow is rather bored by it all. We have to watch out for Chi Chi who is more aggressive--but the little cat hisses and seems feisty enough to take care of himself. When threatened he gets in the nearest tree!

A couple of weeks ago our neigbhbors whose yard abuts ours by about 5 meters, got two young German shepherd puppies--a male & a female. He chained them up to the dog house next to the property line. (I noted that they were wearing a choker! yikes). During the first night they whined and cried--expected. But then during the day as well. Last Friday we took a look as we were having a party in th eback yard. Poor things--they were whining and crying. No water! Their chains were all tangled up and they couldn't move. Ali went over and untangled their chains, and we filled their bowl. The slurped down the water and we filled it again and they drank half of it. And then they were quiet. About 20 minutes later the owner and friend came down and saw that their water was still their---thought they'd not had a drink? Yesterday Randa said they needed to be loose--to grow etc--and stop crying. He said they'd mess up the yard. Sheesh! He has about a 2.5 meter by 7 meter area that could easily be fenced right next to their house and they could run their. I cannot understand why people get pets and then show them no affection, and basically abuse them. And the neighbors also suffer for the all day whining, and whimpering and barking!

Today trimmed my gardenia and rooted the cuttings. Wow! if they root I will have a whole hedge full of them! Am dipping my fingers in green--just in case.

Till next time
