One thing worth writing about is that I connected with a gal through Next Door who is a Lab Technician and she came to my apartment Wednesday evening to clip Joey’s nails for $12. My vet charges $18 and I’ve been told by friends that it is $25 at some grooming places. I also invited Joann to bring Bailey over for a trim. She came a bit early and we had a bowl of Cabbage Creole soup together. Mary arrived and it was no time before Joey accepted her as a friend and we got the nail trimming done in less than 5 minutes, then she did Bailey and she and Joann headed to Cheri’s apartment to do her cat. I spoke with our manager and she agreed that it might be good to set up a pet nail trimming clinic periodically and we will try to get some feedback from residents to see if they are interested in that service. There are lots of people with cats here.
I cleaned for Ben and Jill on Thursday and was feeling a bit beat-up when I finished. It’s a big house and I didn’t take any breaks, just ploughed right through in 4.5 hours.
Ben and Jill invited the Grandparents for a delicious BBQ rib dinner last night and Chef Ben really pulled it off. We had ribs, baked potatoes and grilled cabbage - all were delicious. Lois made an Apple Crisp for dessert and I made a Pumpkin Bundt Cake to top it all off. It was nice to hang out with the family on a beautiful fall afternoon and the girls were sweet and fun to be with today.
