Strange

Stopped by to see my parents and they were mixed up about a paper that they had received in their 'green bag'. The 'green bag' is delivered weekly and has all the happenings of the following week so they are able to join in the fun and plan their schedules. This one had them baffled and when I read it I had to admit I had never heard of dogs coming through to check for bugs. They have lived in this retirement place for six years and this was the first time this had happened.
On the big day all residents in their wing were asked to leave their apartments and head down to the puzzle area while the dogs went through the apartments. Everyone was happy to do as told EXCEPT the lady across the hall from my parents. She hung signs on her door that said: NO DOGS, KILL ALL DOGS, DOG LOVERS DIE!
Needless to say this freaked everyone out since she has only lived there two weeks and has not been very friendly. The dogs did not enter her apartment but my parents said many of the staff went in to have a talk with this lady. 
Always something!

No Net No problem

 It is amazing that we landed two large fish without a net! Got out on Lake MI before we realized the net was not in the boat. It was a very slow day fishing with the lake was like glass. Duf caught his big fish and Diane climbed in the back of the boat and just grabbed it out of the water and threw it onto the floor. Duf tried to grab the fish and it bit him and slashed his finger wide open so we had human and fish blood all over. Duf finally subdued the fish and we got Duf patched up. The second fish swam up and Duf just grabbed the line and pulled him in. Crazy but fun day and we proved a net isn't a necessity it is a luxury!


Saturday Morning Ride





Behind our neighborhood is an entrance to a wonderful biking and hiking trail system. Duf is not riding his bike yet, still recovering. Each Saturday morning, not sure why it is only on Saturday, I head out at 8 AM and ride to Roscoe. Today I needed to pick up pills at Walgreens so I rode my bike to get them. The path goes under the 4 lane highway and is really a great place to ride. My trip to Walgreens was 7.5 miles and I was there before the pharmacy opened so I had to shop around!
