It was Ffiona's turn to bring hamster, Oreo, home for the weekend so the cute little guy wouldn't starve and be lonely.  She and Haedyn have had fun playing with him when he'd not eating.  They were not allowed to bring him downstairs or Rose and Shadow would find him just right for a tasty lunch themselves.

I borrowed Brooke's 42 mpg Hyundai to drive to Green Valley to check out the hacienda and to see if the pr emergent grass prevent or I'd sprayed on back patio last Feb had worked.  Yea! there wasn't much between the bricks and less work for me this Nov.  The monsoon's have been in full swing this summer and I still had 6" in my rain gauge.  I visited with neighbor, Barbara, for 45 minutes before I could finally get away.  It was the first time I have been in her home since dad and I moved there 9 years ago, but she let me in as I had to use the bathroom and didn't want to have to turn the water on and off.

Grand kids are waiting for me to play games so I'll blog again soon.
