Another Hiatus

I did it again...neglected to write in my blog for several days. Egads, I don't remember anything of note to write about. The kittens are growing and keep trying to escape their area in the breezeway. So far I've caught them at the top of the fence before they climbed over, but it was just luck I walked outside when they were escaping.

Wednesday, Betsy came over to give me a riding lesson on Doc, but I couldn't get on the horse because of my hip/leg pain caused when Flash jerked me when I was training him to heel. Long sentence, but you get the idea.

Thursday I didn't go on a trail ride because of the same issue. Also, 50-50's eye was getting worse, so I took her to the vet who said we could either put her down or remove the eye. I just couldn't put my sweet house cat down, so I left her there for the eye removal operation. Poor 50-50.

Friday, I picked up 50-50 and took her home. She spent most of the day on my lap, needing comfort from her ordeal. I'm giving her an antibiotic twice a day for a week, then she needs to go back for a check-up.
That evening, we had tacos for dinner at our house. Gary, Angie and Mom came over for dinner and a movie. Gary selected Contraband and dennis downloaded the movie on Apple TV. After dinner we watched the movie and ate the dessert Dennis bought, a huge Bavarian Cream "tart" with fresh fruit on top. Tart is a misnomer because it was about a foot and a half long, but I don't have a better word for it. Dennis found a great bakery in Chula Vista ( or was it Bonita?) and brought home three boxes of desserts.

Saturday, I worked on my jewelry most of the day. We went over to Mom's to have the other dessert Dennis brought (chocolate eclairs so big they were packed in two boxes). We really need to stop eating desserts.

Sunday morning, Angie, Gary and Mom went to Little Italy for the Sicilian Festival. Dennis and I didn't go because we don't like crowds and prefer to stay home on Sundays. For dinner, we went to Mom's and had stuffed artichokes. Angie made the artichokes, and they were great! We also had the rest of the Bavarian Cream tart that Dennis brought home on Friday. I am done we desserts!

That's it; I'm up to date.
