What Are Pipe Cleaners
Woohoo ... it was with great satisfaction that I woke up at 5:00 am. I actually feel like I caught up on sleep for once. Even Mr. Cooper slept in. That's a miracle! As you can guess however, we were NOT camping out. Bingo day requires mucho shuteye before tackling the peasants at the Magic Castle.
First things first, Mr. Cooper has to go out IMMEDIATELY. There's no messing around unless you want the mess. Lookie here ... Kitters is sleeping in the box. No worries, I'll fix up something nice and cozy for her before any trips. AND I ordered a very expensive DOG food dispenser ... automatic and all that. Not sure it's going to work, but it will hold enough food for 60 days.

OH ..... THAT'S WHY
Good Morning once again!! I'm still in sunny HOT California, boondocking in the van in the back yard. If I'm going to get any use out of that Harvest Host membership, I need to learn how. Practice makes perfect. Mostly because this is not your "everything automatic" kind of set up.

Dazed and Confused
Good Morning my friends ... and welcome to the land of van camping. It was a wonderful night of great sleep and puppy cuddles. Okay, you know that's not true ... since most of my latest and greatest plans don't seem to work out that well.
Here's Kitters, looking spiffy after having had 2 pounds of kitty hair brushed off her body. She's also gained quite a bit of weight. Time for that Vet appointment. By the way, I never open the door that she is not right there, or snoozing in the bushes to the right. She comes running every single time.

NEVER EVER!!!
Just when it looks like we are in FALL, I check the forecast and see three 90 degree days in our future. That means the early 6:30 walks will continue. Here we are before sunrise, smelling the smells along the road. Mr. Cooper excels at that endeavor.

Diesel and Cigars!
There's something to be said for FALL. It's good, and it's here. Not that it's going to last long because the forecast says we are heading back up the scale soon, but on this day it was a lovely 60 degrees when Mr. Cooper and I wandered out the door.
This kid ... without all the RV walks we take when on the road, he has gained WAY too much weight. I've cut his food intake in half, and just like me, he STILL puts on the pounds. So here we are at 6:30 am, walking the roadside. Maybe I'll lose half a pound after a week and be able to eat another dessert in the process.

NEVER FORGET
It's hard to believe it's been 24 years since 9/11 happened on September 11, 2001. Someone brought in a small television to our break room at the County Auditor's Office where we sat in silence watching the terrorism that we never expected to see in our country.
