Up to Snuff

  OK I have been inspired to figure out how to link.  Click on the word link and it takes you to an explanation of “Up to Snuff” .   Or here is another one just to prove I figured out how to do it.

  This information was supplied by the Sister (capitol S Sister – an old family joke) of the man I called dumb.  He wasn’t really dumb but he sure could be aggravating at times.    She was inspired to find the origins of the saying. 

This morning I really wasn’t ready to get up but three furry friends insisted.  I knew I wasn’t fully awake when I picked up the eye drops and held them to my ears and nose before remembering they were for my eyes.   A brisk walk soon woke me up.

After a rainy day yesterday the sun is out even though there is a chill in the air.

My stomach is still iffy so have gone to the meds.  This getting old isn’t easy.   I have put off shopping for a couple more days.  Don’t want to fight the last week-end before Christmas shoppers.  I always have a plan B for when I don’t want to shop.  

Just now convincing Red dog that peacocks are not for chasing is enough.  Once I get back in the pine trees I sometimes drop the leashes and let the dogs run.  They love it.  The place I am going next has a fenced dog run.   Those are always good for sniffing where other dogs have been and they usually have a park bench for dog people.

Chatted with some neighbors yesterday and let the kids pet the dogs.  The dogs are a great ice breaker.  I tell people they look like a Walt Disney movie about the happen.  Got some tips on where to shop.  I have identified a Goodwill store in town and have entered it into the GPS for our next outing.   You never know what you might find. 

Later….
