Hitched

We hitched up the trailer, not to go on a Fourth of July vacation, but to tow it to the dealer for them to work off a couple of squawks and replace the TV video cable with an HDMI cable. It takes a bit of effort to get the four-point anti-sway hitch ready to tow, so I did the job yesterday in order to be ready to roll this morning.

We took advantage of the trip after dropping the trailer off, to do a little shopping at Wal-Mart, where we bought a TV wall mount for the trailer and took it over to the dealer for them to install. We also stopped at Lowe’s to pick up a custom patio shade we ordered a couple of weeks ago.

Now that the chores are done, it’s time to settle in for a nice Independence Day Holiday! Happy Birthday America!

Déjà Vu Roses

Bob and I went shopping for our 4th of July holiday barbecue today. I picked up a dozen to these gorgeous “Déjà Vu Roses” at the flower concession in the supermarket. These probably will only last a couple of days since they’re already opening and we live in the desert. 😉 Click on the image to enlarge.

The Newest Dog

Beethoven (a.k.a. Bay Bay) has been with us for about nine months now. He is fitting in with our routine and gets along with the other two dogs (Bear and Cabela) just fine. He is a handsome little fellow and is very affectionate. He sings to us when he is anxious to go out or to be fed.

We’re his fourth home. He came to us when he was eighteen months old. It’s still a mystery why the other families brought him back to the Humane Society. But we’re glad they did and I think Bay Bay is too since he seems to love us and our home.
