Almost a Month

has passed since my visit to the Vietnam Wall replica that visited Des Moines. The reason? Homecoming for one.....packing for Two...nuff said. AND, on Monday I will start "Rolling down that Blue Highway" again, for the Rio Grande Valley. There is a bunch of little stuff that needs to be done, not much, but I keep finding more stuff that needs to take a ride. I brought home all of my clothes last spring, hopefully a new wardrobe for this season. I am also hauling south a large number of items for the Susan B Komen golf event that I host. This will be year #4. I am hoping the headquarters are actually using the money I raise for the cause, not against the cause. Seems like someone has stirred the pot and is reporting they are less than truthful about where the money goes.........Same crap, new story........I am looking forward to working at the golf course again, only two days a week compared to 5 days a week in housekeeping.. Hawkeyes are looking great tonight, 17-7, over NW. Big highlight was a 98 yard return on an interception, which tied the Iowa record of longest TD on an interception. Once again I am taking along some IOWA beef, sorry Texas, you don't come even close to the corn fed Iowa Beef......as I enjoyed a martini in the lanai this afternoon, what did I see? A mouse casually walking across the floor. It hid good, since I did not scare it out. Tomorrow, glue traps. I just purchased mouse bait today and put it out. Can't understand how the critter got inside. We sealed everything this summer when we put on new wood. It must have crawled in under the door, or waited for someone to leave the house and walked right in....The mouse shall DIE a slow DEATH soon........... I will try to do better this winter, with more timely posts on the blog.....Carry on my friends.
