The family reunion is creeping up on us. It will be here on Octo ber 11. I will have to have to have some dry days so I can thoroughly clean house. I have been shopping forTed and it has messed up my resolve to do a little cleaning
every day rather than one big cleaning every week.

We are officially waging a war against squirrels. They are pulling all the pecans off the trees, biting them in two and then throwing them on the ground. They are doing the same thing with acorns. This is very unsquirrel like behavior.
They should be storing them for the winter. Instead of destroying them and making a mess. One woman I knew has had holes chewed all over her garage and then they knocked something down that jammed the door and she can't get in the garage at all. Ted is stalking them with a pellet gun and we are trying fox urine to repell them. If I had a fox, I woulod turn him loose out there.

Now that Mary has died, there will be no more Peter,Paul and Mary . The era in which I am most nostalgic about is
the late sixties and early seventies. I remember getting ready to go to school and hearing Puff sung every few minutes. I loved that magic dragon. I loved almost all of
the popular music of the day. My second marriage was winding down and "Is this all there is" is exactly how I felt.
Even being sad about Viet Nam and going through a divorce, I still had fun and relished my freedom.

Please don't tell me that squirrels are cute. They are rats with bushy tails. I am an animal lover but not of snakes,
rodents and alligators.
