Day 31

The day didn't start off well.  I went back to the estate sale, but someone had already bought the ship model.  Oh well.

We stopped by the archery place on 290.  Ellen wasn't impressed.  It's attached to a pawn shop.  Their prices on used tools were higher than you could buy new ones at Lowes.

After the post office we went over to Circle C for the dog.  The place was packed.  There were cars parked all over where I usually throw her retrieves.  We walked over to the creek.  It was dry.  Lucy got plenty of retrieves in while we walked.  The cars were because every soccer field was being used.  There was literally no place to park in the park.

After watching for awhile we went to the Italian place for lunch and the ice cream place for dessert.  Then it was home.

Ellen was still sick from the wasp bite she got yesterday.  So she drove to an urgent care place.  I decided to work.  I used one of the 2x4's I bought yesterday to prop up the last leaning fence post in the back yard.  Then I finished mowing the lawn (YEAH).  I replaced the rocks along the edge of the yard.  The only thing I have left to do with the lawn is edge around the doll house, the pump house, and the yard light areas.   Maybe tomorrow.  One weird thing.  A frog, about 4 inches long, jumped out of the lawn while I was mowing by the doll house.

Then I went to the garage and finished hanging and assembling the new cabinet.  It actually went easier than I expected.  The only major problem was being eaten alive by mosquitoes.  I was too tired to fill it up when I was finished.

After a shower I just sat.  I'm really tired and my legs are really sore.  One interesting thing.  it took about a week for the hot water to quit stinking.
