Not much on this home front

Like you, not much news to report. I'm not even sure I can tell you what's filling the hours of the day outside of daily grind. We've had several weeks of lovely weather but it's been such a cool(er) and wet summer, the mosquitoes have invited their cousins from other countries to visit. Even if I spray down with chemicals, just going outside long enough to water the potted plants and gather the tomatoes still nets me 4 or 5 large bites. I'm guessing there's a giant neon sign over my head that reads "Eat at Joes" in mosquitoese.

Sorry to hear Charlie had an operation! I do hope it'll ease his back pain. I think that's something that's troubled him for many years isn't it? I wish there was more opportunity to see him--he was always a favorite.

I have a "mystery appointment" at my hairdresser's tonight. She called my cell and asked if I could be there tonight at 6:45. Desperately needing a haircut, I said sure and she told me to bypass checking in and just come back to her station. Maybe a color and a cut. She's been nice this last year to color me "offsite" at a mutual friend's salon so that I just pay for materials rather than the $100 it usually costs but we usually have to do it away from her regular salon as they frown on it. Maybe just a cut. But odd of her to call like this. If I disappear, look in her car trunk first!!
