Bernadine's assignment

Hi Folks, Bernadine was in charge of the writing group last week because I went with Catherine and Emily to the Ky Arts thingie in Woodford County. She passed on Silas House's blog where he writes everyday about something new he as learned each day. Now, I am no Silas House when it comes to writing but for the exercise, I will play along and try this out for awhile starting today. What did I learn new today? I learned that my grandchild, Richard likes to suck face. I went over to their house after church today to take them the jump seat I found at the consignment store. We hooked it up over a door and installed Richard. He needed a little propping up with a blanket, he is still a little small for it but when he got the hang of the bouncie aspect to his new toy, he was a liking it. He can use his feet and legs to bounce himself around and likes to talk about it while he's at it. He doesn't have a lot of control, but he knows this is cool. He is getting much more playful and is putting what he can reach in his mouth. This includes his hands, the blanket stuffed around him to keep him stable, and Gran's nose and chin. Good lessons for a Sunday. After I got home, I found out that Ron's purchase of a raised panel bit for his router does a good job and doesn't take fingers with it. It looked pretty huge before he put it in his router. Ron and I took Gus with us to Bloomfield to RCM Kennels to determine if we think Gus will be happy there while we are in Hawaii. The owner, Ron Morris, was very nice and he has a fine operation. I will be relieved to know that Gus will be well taken care of while we are gone. We took the old Bloomfield road back to Bardstown and the old Bloomfield Pike across town to get to the car wash on 245. Do not go in the touchless wash thinking it will relieve your car of the black crap that sticks to Bardstown cars & trucks. $8.00 worth of car wash didn't even bother the bird shit much less the black stuff. Took a walk with Ron & Gus when we got home again. Down the cobblestone path and back up the old swimming pool hill of East Broadway. We ran into a girl who knew that Gus was a Havanese. She said she was a trainer and managed to coax him into letting himself get petted. Gus is a very shy dog. Happy to be home with his food and water and his supply of shoes and toys in his bed. Dog Heaven. People Heaven for the rest of the night too. A good day.
