Another Rain Day. Thank Goodness!!!!

It's raining and just in time. The plants were starting to droop. Now I won't have to water them.

Spent last Thurs. Fri and Sat. with Sarah. Did a lot of vacuuming and mopping. Put the border up in the baby's room and organised the furniture and clothes. The baby will sleep with Joe and Sarah for the first little while, at least until he or she is sleeping through the night. The master bedroom is the only bedroom upstairs. The house was built by a couple with teenagers and their rooms were in the basement. Having a child was not part of Sarah's plans. Neither was termination. True to form she has put her best foot forward and is doing everything in her power to be prepared and welcome this baby. I am very proud of her!
Sarah looks great. Oddly enough pregnancy agrees with her. She has only gained 8 pounds and has a little "bump" for a tummy. As a matter of fact many of her customers at Second cup were surprised when she told them she was off for mat leave. Baby is due on the sixteenth. All day yesterday Emma kept saying "labour, labour, labour" , she was hoping the baby would be born on her BD.

It has taken me till yesterday to catch up here at home. What with grass needing cutting, the laundry, vacuuming and mopping, taking Ollie to the vet (that is a story all of it's own),Barbara having her hair done and getting ready for Emm's BD, there has been little time to spare.

Ollie....... last Monday(June 30) Ollie went missing. After three days we feared the worst. To every ones surprise and delight on Thurs. he dashed out of the closet in the landing upstairs when Anna was vacuuming. The skin above his right eye scraped off and his right front leg dangling. Arrangements were made to get him to the vet but he disappeared again. So Mon was the soonest we could get him in. Two hours later we were back home. Ollie had been examined, "put under" ,xrayed (the ulna between his wrist and elbow was dislocated and according to Ian our vet a most unusual injury) had his "bone" manipulated and put back in place (very painful to watch), splint applied and bandaged. Wish it could be that quick for humans.
