The Battle for the Last Post: BATTLE FORTY FIVE

[Catz]

Dude. That is awesome!

[Catz]

I'm totes jelly....

[Catz]

Oh and a page topper.... Nice.

[Catz]

Today I will go on an adventure again. First to see what's up with a package that has been out for delivery three times and has yet to arrive. I am now paranoid that someone could be tampering with it... lol

Second stop will be to grab some items for a bebe shower this weekend.

[Catz]

I'm going to try not to get lost or panic and head home without at least making these two stops.. LOL

I swear I'm not this bad about doing things on my own, but this being an unfamiliar town- I've managed to allow some anxieties to run amok.
I can't wait for my pup to be old enough to show. Dog shows are my haven.

Church can be my haven too sometimes, but It takes me a while to connect in those environments without a mid week study or event to socialize at.

Hope everyone had a fun and safe 4th! And let me tell you, I am super over fireworks. Too much noise for me. But my daughter slept through all 3 nights of my neighbors going nuts with them, so that's at least something.

We had a nice, quiet 4th of July this year...and that's OK. I do hope more people start appreciating the good things about America as opposed to endlessly droning on about the negatives.

Oh my...just saw two cucumbers on the kitchen counter...hubby must have picked them from the garden this morning. Good eats tonight!

I also have a monster zucchini (about 18" long) that I missed picking last week that is awaiting processing. I cut it into long, thin pieces, freeze it, and then use it as a substitute for lasagna noodles.

[Catz]

Yum! My sister makes a good zucchini lasagna.

[Catz]

I don't have anything to harvest, but basil

[Catz]

I'm gonna throw some fertilizer in today, but I'm sad there doesn't even appear to be any sign of fruiting from anything

[Catz]

We had a fun 4th of July. I like training the dogs when all the noise is happening. Helps to build their confidence.

I get to go on my first longish drive on my own with my pup to one of the only dog trainers that responded to me.

It's half an hour away in an area we don't frequent much, then i'll be picking up dinner for my husband and I on the way back. a very normal thing, but the first time I'll be doing this since moving here. It just feels like a special thing. I'm finally assimilating to the area. Not that I miss my previous place much, and I used to have to travel an hour to any serious trainer and did it often enough it wasn't a big deal.

I can't wait for long drives to various locales becomes a normal thing for me. It's like my dogs and fireworks/thunderstorms. You just need to experience it consistently enough and it won't be a big deal anymore lol

[RhymeLovingWriter]

Catz You'll do great! One step...or in this case, drive...at a time!
