It's my Mom's birthday today!

Happy


Birthday


Mom!


We'll have to go out and celebrate the next time we're in Vegas! I hope you take the time and have a wonderful day.


Today has been set aside as a preparation for departure day. I'm doing some last batches of laundry so that #1 Son won't have to pack too much dirty laundry back to school with him. I mended his winter jacket. A jacket that he WILL need when he gets off the airplane tomorrow night.

I suppose, now that I'm done mending #1 Son's jacket (my excuse for not putting my contact lenses in this morning), I could put my contact lenses in but.... It's not that my contact lenses are all that uncomfortable. Anyway, I think I'll wash my hair first and then give Gypsy a bath. Then...I'll put my contact lenses in.

It froze again last night. The forecast calls for at least one more night of possible freezing temperatures so I haven't taken the sheets off my plants as yet. I think they'll be OK for one more day covered. Gypsy is outside right now sitting on one of the sheets that is covering a smaller hibiscus bush. I suppose the sheet is a lot more comfortable to sit on than the gravel.

I don't think that Gypsy even knows what a lawn looks like. Yet. The people we bought Gypsy from didn't have a lawn. They had desert landscaping...just like we have desert landscaping. It's a lot more practical here in Arizona and it saves on water. It should be interesting to see how Gypsy reacts to our lawn at The Lake.
