I awoke early, took one look at the clock and rolled over and went back to sleep cuddling Mikey. He likes close proximity, but Sandy is the opposite and does not like to touch or be touched as in a cuddle. Just as well as two cuddling dogs would probably be enough to cook me to medium rare… 

We eventually crawled out and went out for that first and the most important walk of the day with me to clear the cobwebs and the dogs to relieve themselves. We wandered around the park and got to see the House/Office that they had just brought over from Sunset. I have no idea what they plan on doing with it. 

It was still a little brisk out and the wind was pretty strong but as the day wore on, it warmed up and the wind dropped. Back inside The Caboose, I fixed breakfast for us all and then settled down in front of the computer to play catchup with the blog.  

I had trouble with one of my new hearing aids as it was not working. I took them out and replaced them back in the charger, Then I put in the older aides that I have, thinking that I would need to get an appointment with the hearing aid specialist to get the new ones repaired.  

I did other things and I happened to notice that the light on the charger that had come on with the one that was not working was now out, so I tried them on, and they both worked again. Great as it saved me a trip into town. I put the “old” ones away to use as backup as needed. 

I had nothing scheduled for the rest of the day and looked around for other things to do. I thought about doing laundry but decided against it for no reason other than laziness which is pretty pathetic when you think about it as all I had to do was turn it on. Oh well. 

Finally, it was time to go out walking again and we wandered around as we usually do with no particular direction in mind and eventually hit the 2.00-mile mark. 

With everyone gone except for Jeff and Terri, I spent a quiet evening at home watching some series or another on TV. Incidentally, when I awoke the following morning, I noticed that I had not brought in the feeders last evening and the deer had a field day or should that read, field night?
