VETERAN'S DAY - OBSERVED

IF YOU LOVE YOUR FREEDOM, THANK A VET! 

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE TO OUR COUNTRY!!   


No mail today because the Post Office is closed for Veteran's Day. It's still cold outside and my plan is to catch up on some of my sewing. I have several UFOs ready to put together and lots of blocks ready to sew on my Fall exchange blocks. 

This past weekend we had cold rain, a little snow and lots of mud. I didn't feel guilting going to the dog show on Sat and Sun because it was too nasty to work outside.  I've included some pictures I took at the show of friends either in the ring, getting their dogs ready for the ring, or very happy with their new champion.  I apologize for the fuzzy photos. The lighting in the building was terrible and the camera didn't like it. 

Yesterday I was able to get rid of some old car batteries that I found in one of the garages while cleaning it up this Fall too. Because there were so many of them, I was afraid I would have to manifest them. I was very happy that all I had to do was take them to the salvage yard and they would dispose of them.  They were going to pay me by the pound but needed my drivers license for ID.  AH I decided they didn't need to know who I was and opted to just get rid of them. I wouldn't have gotten very much for them, so it was worth it to keep my identity to myself.  Mr. Big thought it was great, he wandered around the scrap yard while they were unloading the batteries from my car. Now we can call him the "Junk Yard Dog". One of the employees had been to the dog show that weekend and recognized him as a Portuguese Water Dog.
