Livin' Large In Loser Land

Sometimes, Janet can be a bit of a snob.   Not sure where Mrs. Hoighty Toighty thinks she comes from, but someone needs to remind her she was born in Stettler, Alberta!  Not that there is anything wrong with that!   Mr. Burr finally got rid of Betsy (AKA piece of shit) and sparkled up the 'hood with his new truck, so she thought it was clear sailing.  Wrong!  For her entire life, she has dreamt of living in a neighbourhood where people don't park their cars on the lawn.  Now her husband has done so and she nearly had an atomic meltdown!

Phil explained he was going to wash the car so all the water could go on the lawn.  Bam!  Now it's a "green" project but it still can't get off the lawn fast enough to suit Janet.

Janet and Phil had to return the borrowed BOB stroller to Karen and Ken.  They practiced walking dogs and a fake baby at the same time.

In this case, the "baby" is Janets' blue Staub pot that Karen was going to borrow.

Phil took us to the vet yesterday to see if he can suggest what is wrong with us.  We sometimes fall coming up the stairs and yesterday, some people knocked at the door and I didn't want to get up to see who it was.  Unfortunately, he said we are just old and are now geriatric.  We don't know what geriatric means, but it doesn't have a joyful ring to it.  We both have some mobility issues which makes Janet really sad, so we try to hide them from her.

This is Noodles trying to make Janet turn us around at Willows Beach and go back home.  We are about 3 blocks from home and Noodles has had enough.

Janet is mopping all the floors and lets me lay where I am as she mops around me.

This is now Noodles favourite spot to lay down.  Right beside the garage in the shade with some cool soil underneath and a cool head rest.

We might be slowing down, but check out the birdie line up on the runway to the feeder!

And, check out Mr. Bee, busy, busy with some tiny flowers in our driveway.

Earlier this week, Janet made BBQ Chicken Chopped Salad from the California Kitchen Pizza cookbook.  Phil said it was delicious!
