I'm not really noticing mine smelling too bad, but they look horrible. I'm keeping them all short for winter, but not near has short as summer. Brenna is still in long coat so she's in for a big surprise...lol.

Today I met with the guy that's going to put on an extension and new valve behind Mom's gas stove. I asked Jerry to come and he did. The man's name is Wayne and he did a lot of work for Mom. He said he would be glad to do it and will come on Monday around 4:30, that gives me enough time after my afternoon route to get there. I think Jerry is going to come too.

After Wayne left...Jerry and I sat and talked for about 90 minutes before I had to leave for Applebee's. It was really nice...just talking and not about Mom or the auction. Just normal things.

I met my friend and her Mom for lunch and another girl that we graduated with was the bartender. She wasn't busy so sat with us quite a bit and we had such a good time. The food was so good and so was the conversation and laughs. We were there for a couple hours. My friends mother will be turning 94 next Friday so I'll be going to the nursing home to share in cake and ice cream. Her mother also played the organ I our wedding.

After lunch, I went to Wal Mart and bought some potting soil, African Violet soil and a couple pots to replant some of the plants that I brought home from Mom's. I'll probably do that tomorrow sometime after giving the dogs a bath...maybe before.

Guess that's about all for today. I really need at least one more day for the weekend, two days just aren't enough to get everything done.

Karlie is a pistol Judy.....I hope you can handle her...lol. Really.....she is so cute, but I can see where she can be just as Diana describes at times.
