I have loved Mondays ever since I retired. It is a fresh start on a new week. You can get your errands done in half
the time since there is so little traffic. Today, I got a
new tag for the car, went to the bank to get some cash and
to the library to select two weeks worth of books in an
hour.

Ted has two appointments at the V.A. today. I hope they accomplish something and do not take an unusual amount of
time. He has been so ill that I felt it would be the better part of wisdom to cancel our cruise scheduled for
September l9th. When I discovered that I could not get one
penny returned, I bought travel insurance so if we cancel we can get a full refund. That is my unfavorite cruise line, Carnival,but the cruise we booked was so cheap that
we decided we could overlook the inefficiency of embarking
and debarking.

Rex and I did our watering early. He loves being outside
before he gets too hot. His fur is pretty lush and seems to be getting thicker as he ages. His favorite spot is in
front of the our bathtub.

Have a good week my friends and greetings to all your animals.
