August

How can it be August already? Why is it that summer flies by so fast and winter drags on forever? August reminds me that summer is almost over and I better grab the last bit of summer fun that I can. God grant that we don't have another winter like the one we had last year.

For the next week and a half, I will be dog and cat sitting. My friends, Nancy and Robert, will be down at Keuka Lake for a week so I will stop in every other day to take care of their cats. One of their cats, Lily, is friendly and likes attention - the other one I keep my distance from!

Then beginning next Saturday, into Wednesday of the following week, I will be taking care of Casey, my neighbors' dog, while they are visiting colleges with their oldest son.

I've had my new dishwasher for a week now, have used it three times, and I'm really glad to be free of hand washing dishes!
