Alan had a long day yesterday. Getting up at 2am for a shuttle pickup at 3am for a 6am flight. He had a stop in Seattle from here then onto Anchorage landing around 5:30pm their time. They are one hour earlier in Alaska. Alan's first day covering the mall is today. Sunrise there was at 3:30am and sunset last night was at 11:30pm.

The moon was big and somewhat bright...some clouds covered it. Still, I tried for a picture. Murphy accompanied me out to the garden but was not impressed with the tripod. My creative or lack of creativity is driving me crazy. Both hands are hurting from the arthritis and my heel is still painful. Last night it was a bit swollen. I find this all distracting. Time for a doctor visit...or two. Today is definitely a swishing and fluffing day. For dinner last night I made a very tasty Fusilli pasta salad. Tonight Lisa and I will be grilling hotdogs and cauliflower at 10pm. Yes, at 10pm when she gets home from work. Can you see us out in the garden grilling? Time for me to get a move on with chores.
I think I am going to send a report to the Faerie Union...still no show on their part for help. Glad to chat with you. Thank you for your kind words and for your friendship.
