Thursday September 24th~

The best day of your life is the one on 
which you decide your life is your own...

 Arvid and I had time to spare and not much 
to do yesterday so we decided to take a drive into 
Springfield and have lunch there. If you know Arvid
 there is not better burger than Burger King. There
 are no BK’s in Branson so to Springfield we went
 to have a burger. I have to say it was very good. 
After that Arvid was happy.  Said, "best meal."


We also looked around the mall a little 
but there was nothing that caught my eye.  The 
other day Arvid went shopping for shorts while 
I did grocery shopping.  He was done in less
 than 20 mins and he had found 2 pairs
 of shorts.  Arvid is so so fast!


Still no squirrel yesterday. The peanuts are 
still on the deck. Have not seen or heard much 
from the birds as yet either, just a few random
 ones every so often.  Even so, I scatter food on
 the grass right now for them.  My guess is they
 are waiting for much cooler weather.  Maybe
 today they show up since it's a lot cooler.


Yesterday morning was the first time I fed 
Charley since we came back.  Have seen her around, 
but she is always busy chasing something.  Also since
 it's been so hot she has been indoors most of the time. 
 I saw her, called her and she came running to me.


Loving this cooler weather right now.  Of
 course Arvid said, "this is too cold for me.  I need
 to wear more clothes."  Yeah, Arvid is a Viking in his 
dreams only.  Sniff and I are happy and loving it.


There is only one happiness in 
this life, to love and be loved...
