Catch up time. 

Needless to say, I did not finish laying the tile by December 1st.

Adinete rented the house on the first and the new tenants had to move in right away because the owner of the house they had been renting lost the house to foreclosure.  They had to vacate by December 4th.

But, as always every cloud has a silver lining.  The husband is a professional tile layer.  He and I worked together finish the living room, the main bedroom, and the bathroom last Friday and the family moved in Friday night.

On Monday, he agreed to finish the remaining bedroom and the trim work in the rest of the house.  We will give him a discount on the January rent.

So this week I have been working at home: mowing the grass, trimming trees, and building a dog house for Toby.

By the way, Adinete has been busy also.  She rescued two abandoned male puppies last week.  They were about four weeks old.

One was sick and, in spite of her care and efforts, it died day before yesterday. 

The other, which she named "Choo Choo" is lively, full of pep, and smart.  He is already house broken and likes to play with Toby, who ignores him.

Well that's it for now, folks. 

My next post will be a philosophic one.
