A Pretty Good Mother's Day

Farmer H gave me a card before he left for his SUS2 (Storage Unit Store 2). It had drawings of puppies, and when opened, a little 3-D box popped up, and it played music consisting of dog barks! Pretty cute!

The Pony sent me a text wishing me a Happy Mother's Day. He will be bringing a card and some scratchers (!) for me when we go eat at a local catfish restaurant on Tuesday. He let me pick the day. We talked about it last week. I didn't want to go this weekend because of crowds. They're closed Monday. So Tuesday, The Pony's day off, is a good time. Of course Farmer H will be joining us.

Genius called and chatted for about 30 minutes. He was sitting on his balcony, musing about being two weeks late to plant this year's pepper crop. Gotta get the plants in the soil if he expects a harvest!

The Veteran also called and talked about 20 minutes. He's building sets for his daughters' play at the local junior college. They're doing The Wizard of OZ. He asked if Farmer H was taking me to the casino. No. We haven't discussed that, but I'm sure he will take me any day I want to go. As long as it's not the three days he spends at his SUS2, nor the two days he goes to the auction. I told The Veteran about our planned catfish dinner on Tuesday. And that I was serving leftover spaghetti for supper, and didn't have to cook!

When I got home from town, Farmer H said The Veteran had called him, and asked if I would like it if he went to the catfish restaurant and brought me takeout for supper! Of course Farmer H knew enough to say that I would probably not be a fan of that, because I don't like surprises. Which is the truth. But wasn't that a nice gesture??? Though I can't really thank him, because I don't think I'm supposed to know about it.

My new dog Scarlett was let off her lead, and stayed here at home. I think she realizes she belongs here now. She's a sweetie. Good-natured, but a bit frisky. I'm sure she'll settle down as she matures, and gets used to freedom.

Oh, and to top off such a glorious day, I won $100 on a $3 crossword scratcher!
