Up at the ungodly hour of 8 AM. I will do chores and sew until noon. Then we go over to Lea the librarian's where the dogs will play in the back yard while Lea, her sister, two of her sister's grandchildren and I go to the Scottish Games.
The Fort Worth Fire Department is apologizing after a large grass fire broke out at Gateway Park Thursday night, NBC 5 reported.
I have a pair of modern cargo pants. The side pockets are small for cell phone.
6:30 PM I am happily exhausted, can barely walk. The Scottish games are held at UTA Maverick Stadium. We make the rounds of the vendors. Lea is Clan Henderson and visits the Clan tent. Martha is Clan Bruce and I got a brochure for her. I think really that clans are patrilineal. Lea got her annual shot of whiskey. I had a root beer float.

Friday June 6
Last night at 10 PM heat index was 94 degrees. Last night the girls Olympic softball team played at Gateway Park. After the game fireworks were set off and the sparks set a grass fire. This morning I watched Channel Eight do a segment on it
I got up and went immediately to exercise class. Did not pass GO. Then there was a dark cloud in the sky so we went directly to Ft. Woof. No other small dogs there. Everything had been tidied up from the softball game.
Stopped by Town Talk. Bought some cases of miso soup, boxes to microwave. Organic. Food pantry and town talk often have organic stuff that must not have sold.
Now I am going to have lunch and take a nap.
I slept deeply for three hours. When I awake it seems like another day. Listening to tape of the Cat Who Played Brahms. Finished hemming some silk pants. Horrible job. Now working on another shirt. Lea invited me to go with her and her sister to Scottish games.

Thursday June 5
3 AM. I was dreaming about listening to a tape about listening to a tape. Complex dream.
I intend to get up and go directly to Ft. Woof. The park closes at noon bc Olympic soft ball team will be playing at Gateway Park. I saw little houses and thot they had set up new porta potties. It turned out they were ticket booths.
By not looking at my email I reached Ft. Woof by ten AM. Judy, Ken and Szabo turned up. No other small dogs. Stiff wind. We had a nice chat about the political campaign etc. Came home and am fighting my ISP.
Took my usual nap. I have been alternating reading C.J. Box *Bloody Trail* and listening to CatWho Played brahms on tape.
Lady Chica is a pill. She stood by the door, which means she wants to go out. I put on my shoes and got down the leash. Blitzen came bouncing out of his den under the bed. Meanwhile Lady Chica went whipping back into the bedroom to get the bone on which Blitzen had been chewing.
Heavy wind tonight but I think the storm will pass west of us.

Wednesday June 6
Skipping exercise class and going directly to Ft. Woof, not passing GO. I want to attend speaker meeting at aa tonight. What is the connection? I don't want to attend Ft. Woof in mid day. Altho by now I would be thru Silver Sneakers at 10 am.
I find this humorous. (if I do spell check it upsets my ISP). I have been listening to Margaret Maron's series of novels featuring Judge Deborah KNott. I dreamed that Judge Knott planned to resign her judgeship. Listenin to books on tape really draws me into the book.
Yes, shug is sugar. Southerners are always calling evrybody honey, shug, darlin.
A brisk breeze kept the park cool and pleasant. the cops were packing up. So Blitzen did not try to dig under the fence. Two other dogs were in the little dog area, one a chihuahua who was racing the big dogs along the fence. They packed up and went home. Lady Chica gave me a hard time when we packed up. I know that she is just playing chase bc she always pees just before we go home.
Made a library run. Got the latest Maron novel and the new C.J.Box novel (a Joe Pickett)
Just in time for lunch Ola Mae and Russ brot me warm corn bread, bean soup, boiled cabbage, and a huge bowl of ribes.
I have meals for the rest of the week. I took a nap. Speaker tonight at AA was Carl, husband of Gail. i have known both in AlAnon for a while. Carl has a PhD and talked about being in grad school. I have heard Gail speak, and their perspectives on grad school are interesting. I feel so old, however. He is a generation younger than me.

Tuesday June 3
Baptist Center 10:13 am Heavy sack lunch. 100 so far. ......... Then it slowed down and by eleven I am bored. Read *Can this marriage be saved?* in Ladies Home Journal.
I came home and slept for three hours. It always seems like another day when I wake up. Avoiding the heat, we did not go to Ft. Woof until 7 PM. Another dozen or so dogs came and went. Miles came with Mickey and Avery. Lady Chica's behavior was fascinating. The shade having moved with the sun, I sat down on a bench at the far side of the area. LC hung around until she ascertained that I was established there.
Margaret Maron's series uses southern dialect. Somebody wrote her web site asking what "shug" means. I laughed. Then a day later somebody here called me "shug".
Came home, had a snack, listening to another Maron novel. where the hero and the heroine get engaged.

Woke before the alarm rang, feeling great. No pain. Off to exercise and breathing class. I could go back to sleep.
I had one hour of Silver Sneakers and one hour of yoga stretching. Then a library run and I came home to lunch and to lie down. Our tai chi teacher has a bout of Poison Ivy. Leaves of five let them thrive. Leaves of three let them be. He had a bad case when he was nine years old and it comes back annually.
I was lying down when Martha appeared with leftover ribs and artichokes from yesterday's cookout. Yum yum. We had a mo-daughter chat for a couple hours. Good to see her. Then I took a nap. PPQ Society meeting tonight.
I take the dogs with me to run in Lea's back yard. As usual Lady Chica ran around, playing tag when it was time to go home. And lea's dog, Pup, ran out and across the road to say hello to two lady dogs. What a life!!!!
Finished listening to *Winter's Child* by Margaret Maron.

Sunday June 1
Made a decision not to attend church. Off to Ft. Woof.
Uneventful hour at Ft. Woof. Cute little puppy playing with a puppy Italian greyhound. Came home and listened to all of a book on disc, *Rituals of the Season* by Margaret Moran. As usual the killer was a surprise.
The heroine gets married at the end.
Attended AlAon tonight. Only three of us there. Starting another novel on disc.
Hugs, Dr. Liz
