Glad I was able to visit the White House many years ago while it was still intact. I believe one entered through the East Wing. Another thing I remember from that event is that I knew another person in line at the same time. Small world. We are all interconnected and what happens to one of us affects all of us. Busy week as usual. Low tire lights came on in both the van and the Toyota. Got car tires aired up but have not had a chance to get van checked. The van always has a low tire light when the weather cools so I do not worry about it that much.
Hy-Vee had cosmic crisp apples on sale. I recognized that as a new variety and heard that they were good so tried them.
Went back for more. Nice firm apple with lots of juice. Would prefer a bit more tartness, but very good, large and pretty.
I love animals. I feed kitties, birds, squirrels and racoons but not willingly. Have had a family of young coons coming to the back porch every night to finish off the kitty food. I don’t like this as they can crawl on to the roof and can be destructive so I have live traps. Got a fresh bag of marshmallows and set the trap. First night the rascal got a free dessert. Second night, the trap got it. I load them up and carry them across the Lamoine river so they either have to swim or cross the bridge to get back.
The little fella was terrified. Did not want to leave the trap, then climbed a tree and clung there. I felt so sorry for it. I do have a good photo of it sticking its head out of my kitty house to remember it by. Hope it learns not to cross any highways and how to find food in the wild.
