Twelve Days Until We Leave Arizona

Word of the Day

Peboppin' Upsmack - The dance people do when they grab their ankle, thrust their legs wildly back and forth as well as banging their heads downward as if head banging at a concert.

OK. I think it's a sign. I've been humming The Twelve Days of Christmas ever since I thought about and wrote in this blog that I've got Twelve Days remaining before we hit the road.

On the 1st day of getting ready to go to The Lake...
HTP called the plumber to have the water reconnected.

Only...we've been getting ready to go to The Lake for at least a week now but things are heating up so I'll use a bit of poetic license. Anyway, HTP called Aaron the Plumber this morning to make sure that we'll have running water when we return to The Lake. Aaron told HTP that the ice was off Lake Chetek and that the temps at The Lake were in the 70's today. It's 93°F here right now and it's early yet. We also took Muggsy to the vet to have her stitches removed. Poor baby was so relieved that she wouldn't have to stay for a repeat performance of the last time we'd been to the vet. She started shedding profusely the second we got into the car. She started shaking the second I headed with her through the front door of the vet's office. It didn't help that there were two huge dogs waiting in the waiting room. One was a big Akita puppy. Big puppy wanted to play. The other was an Airdale. Both big dogs when compared to my little Chihuahua. HTP wondered why I was standing off to one side as far from the other dogs as possible. Here's your sign.
