Life With Loree: oldladydom

Think i have entered a new realm of oldladydom in buying this 'themed' sweater for Halloween. Geez.. BUT it is warm and cozy, so, it will be fun... See even that i would think that.. ah, well..

We are all yellow around the edges, with the changing leaves and we again have smoke, there are about 6 fires burning around here, one, East of us is up to 7,000 acres.. so the air is smokey, but not as bad as it could get.. yet

And i worry and complain about that, while that horrid hurricane is heading towards florida, the second one in the last couple of weeks, how do hose people live with that? and then then the reconstruction. I follow a doctor who lives in Tampa area, and the things they have had to go thru!! stripping the house down to the studs and now she has been called to work and has her kids with her at the hospital, she has an office and they are in there while she is working, in the ER.. and leaving their house again.. and already she has water in the house...

As a side note my grandpa and family (from Iowa) were down there in the late 20's, my mom was born there in 1926 and went thru a hurricane, when it was all over there was an alligator under the porch and that was enough for him, took the family back to Iowa ( then on to oregon in 1934)

Already have the pick up filled with yard debris, and have not really started raking the leaves yet, did once and filled the debris bin and that has been picked up already, so it is ready to fill again.

not much going on other than that... just the usual, cleaning, (oven) card making (Halloween), reading... the newest Nicholas Sparks and Hilary Clinton. She writes really well. Interesting.

Trying to get Sade to do what i want.... still think i am doing well in the potty dept, but i think i just read her cues, because then she will pee right in front of me, maybe because i am not paying attention to her?? hard to tell.. but wish she would tell me she has to go out!!! right now she is on my lap/arm while i am trying to type and she is getting pretty disgusted with me as my arm keeps moving.... Took her out with me this morning to the post office and chiropractor and we got coffee and pup cup. Then i had to go to Michaels and left her home, so this is the 1st she has had to nap haha and i am disturbing her.... she still has a fit wearing a harness and being in a leash,, think i need to find a dog training class.
