It's the Little Things

A couple weeks ago I lost a sock in the laundry. I made a half-hearted effort to find it at the time, but it did not turn up during my quick peek through all of the clothes I had already folded.
 
When I got to work this morning and started to put on a sweatshirt, guess what fell out and landed on the floor?
 
" I found my SOCK!"
 
Some co-workers were nearby and they probably thought I was a little too excited about such a thing. But I don't care....
 
I found my sock and I want the whole world to know!

Valuable Chore

I just heard Lew say, "All of my chores are done." He proceeded to list them, but he did omit mentioning the Valuable Chore (VC) he completed....

Tonight I brushed Jerry — something I should do every day, but I don't. After I'm done brushing him, Jerry inevitably has some loose hair stuck to him. Tonight was no different. That's when Lew stepped in and did the VC: Vacuum Cat!

Lew's Logbook: Eli Loses a Tooth

(Lew writes today! ~ Tracy)


I went to Eli’s flag football game today. It is semi-organized chaos but very fun to watch.

I set up my chair and settled in for the excitement.  It was hard to see because the sun was in my face, but suddenly Eli jumped in my lap and greeted me with a “Hi Grampa."  

The next thing he said was “Hey Grampa, look at this."  Below is what I saw. (I got him to pose for me later.)  

A moment to warm “the cockles of my heart."  πŸ’—πŸ’—

A Late Night

Tonight I went to a women's event at an area church. The event was from 7-10 PM. It was very nice and I'm glad I went.

But now I'm glad to be home because it is way past my bedtime!

No Cavities, No Flu

This morning I used some personal time at work so I could go to the dentist. No cavities, although I do need to do a better job brushing the back of my teeth in three of the four quadrants. (The only one I have been doing okay with is the top left, which makes sense because I am right-handed.) The hygienist told me she has to get after many, many patients for this same problem. She also said that relative to others, I don't do so bad! But still, I need to do better because I want to make my hygienist proud... as well as have healthy teeth.

Then I went to the post office to purchase some stamps, after which I stopped at Walgreens for my annual flu shot. The best thing about the flu shot was the red band-aid with the Walgreens "W" on it. Even though nobody could see it on my arm, I knew it was there. (I have no picture to share with you because I've already removed it and thrown it out.) But there is something that could replace the band-aid as the best thing:  not getting the flu!

Here's to good health!

Dad 483: Cakes, Boats, and Trucks

(We've had to turn the heat up, boo hoo. Enjoy Dad's post! ~ Tracy)
 
Derf Here! Two lousy, cloudy, wet days in a row. Supposed to be a nice weekend coming. Fall temperatures are in the air. Don't mind Fall. Do not like snow season! Maybe a light snow year. We can hope.
 
Debbie dropped by today. Working Monday through Friday this week at her new job selling Bundt cakes. Seems to like her new job. The cakes are very yummy!
 
Debbie also said they have a new boat. A 34-foot ship for the ocean. My way of describing it is a "sea motorhome." Glen's motorcycle will be gone, but they will spend time on the sea. Better them than me!
 
Lew has found out more about his new truck this week. While reading about it, he found out it has a remote starter. He also found a trunk in the back. Very large! One thing I like about his truck is the back opens like a regular pickup and also swings open. Clever!
 
Stopping for today!
 
Until next time!
 
Toodle Pip!
 
Derf!

Happy October!

With the start of this new month comes something fun: October baseball!
 
The Red Sox are not in the playoffs this year, so watching won't be as stressful. (Although we will root against the Yankees.)
 
Play ball!
