Another week of days

Once again, I am trying to recall what I did during the last seven days.  And, as usual, it's a struggle to remember.

Mark played golf on Saturday with his friend, Desmond, at Lake Wilderness.  While he was gone I put the dogs on the front porch so they could hang out with me as I dug around in the flower bed.  I dead-headed three hydrangea bushes, pulled dead leaves out of the little Japanese somethingorother tree, weeded, and generally got the little area cleaned up for spring and looking really good.  Now it's time to attack the back yard.  That, however, is a daunting project.  The back yard flower beds are beds of nothing but blooming dandelions.  Quite yellow.  Some of the dandelions are huge.

Sunday we went to mass at the Abbey.  The Bishop was there, as were a lot more people than usually attend.  We grilled lamb loin chops and asparagus, and then roasted Yukon Gold potatoes with shallots.  Served with good wine, it was a nice dinner.  We also talked with our mothers.  Mark watched the Master's on TV.  I watched some of it, too.  Bubba Watson won in a very interesting playoff.

Monday was my usual day of running errands.  Since I didn't make Mark a lunch on Sunday night, we went out for lunch, which was fun.  After work, we took the puppies for a good run at the field, and then Mark and I went to a homeowners association board meeting.  That was interesting, finding out all the dirt on the neighbors and what's going on in the neighborhood.  We both came to the same conclusion -- all HOA boards seem to deal with the same issues.

I didn't make it to yoga on Tuesday because I took Ty to get his ears looked at.  Apparently, he has allergies.  He's on benedryl now.  I think it makes him a bit sleepy.  Fortunately, he won't have to stay on it for too long.  In the afternoon I took E.T. to get his oil changed and found out the emergency brake was hung up.  It wasn't a big operation to take the springs off and clean them up (yea!) and now the emergency brake works much better.  Mike, our mechanic, said we would probably notice better gas mileage now.  Ya' think!?

Today was physical therapy day, and I feel good.  This afternoon is a little bit of house cleaning and paper filing, and that should about do it.  We're having left over shrimp creole for dinner (yum!).

That's it for now.
