Friday, Mar. 6, 2020 – Busy Day

Hi Babe,
Another busy day cleaning, mostly around the pool again. I finished off pressure washing the couple of sections that I didn’t get to yesterday, and did a few more plastic chairs that I found laying around the yard. Lola didn’t help much, she kept insisting I toss her floppy frisbee, and sometimes she would walk right through the mud and sand and onto the deck, so there were brown footprints everywhere that I had to keep rinsing down. That’s obviously going to be an ongoing thing! I rinsed the filters at least four times today, trying to get the little vacuum walker to work better, and it finally did start working like it was supposed to, so the pool is looking pretty good right now. I even bought a thermometer for it the other day, and it’s up to 79 degrees! I’m sure that will sound great to my northern guests, but I also know that for my Florida and Texas folks, they won’t go near it unless it’s another 5 or 6 degrees higher. I also helped Jeff a little on his motor rebuild, that’s coming along, slow but sure, fingers crossed it gets done in time. Brother Glenn, his wife Dena, and Audrey are coming too, though Audrey is flying in on Friday while Glenn and Dena are coming in a new motor home that just picked up. I’m hoping he’ll put it back where we were last year, out of the way, but he’s more likely to park it right in front of the house like he usually does. Anyway, progress was made today, at least the outside is looking a bit better, I haven’t tackled inside the house yet. I have to mention that ever since I took Lola’s bed out of the back seat of the truck so I could haul passengers, and put it back in the utility room, Lola’s been sleeping in here with me, and she’s been very, very good. She seldom gets restless these days. I don’t know if it’s because I’m doing my best to see that she gets at least some exercise, or if she just loves that bed! Sometimes in the morning I find her in your recliner, though, so I’m not sure. All I know is, she hasn’t interfered with my sleep, and she seems quite content to sleep through the night. I’m glad, she’s good company, and obviously, I’ve been spending a lot of time with her, she goes with me practically everywhere these days. Anyway, after the usual chores, dinner and TV, I’m off to bed, having showered earlier to get off the grease from working on Jeff’s van. Good night, babe! Love you!
