Another Busy Day Working

Let me tell you - this work stuff is not so easy - I have to get up and have my breakfast - and I have to eat it when mom puts it down because if I don't I'm stuck all day with nothing to eat!!!! Now this morning I got a break because mom had to be at the city courthouse this morning because she is heading a group trying to get a man to donate the ALEXANDER INN - aka THE GUEST HOUSE to this revitalization program she's working on...the man who owns it Merrill Boatman has let the property run into the ground - it's a really important piece of history as it housed many of the scientists who built that AWFUL big bomb - aka the Atom Bomb - even Albert Einstein stayed there - anyway - whatever your feelings are about the bomb the building is important. The people from the Heritage Association got the city to fine him and stuff - so he had to go to court this morning and there were a whole bunch of people there in support of preservation - The man told the judge he was meeting with a potential buyer this afternoon - nobody really believes that - mainly because he's wanting over a million dollars for it and the thing is FALLING DOWN.........but next week mom and a few people who are interested in the property's salvation are going to met next - Mom has a plan that she's trying to sell everyone on - now they're trying to figure out how to buy it if the man won't donate it to the effort - Mom's been writing Op-Ed pieces in the newspaper - if you want to read them - she's done 2 so far - First one here - second one here - as you can see she's been really busy lately!!!!

Okay now - back to ME - I didn't get to go to court with her - BOO - but, I spent the rest of the day with her - when she got home she was mostly on the phone - I don't like it when she is on the phone - I really bug her a lot when she's on the phone - I bite her ankles as she walks around and I jump all over her to get her off. I don't know why I don't like her on the phone - but I don't. Then she and daddy went to the Soup Kitchen for lunch - they specialize in the MOST delicious soups and are known for their signature chili [which mom says isn't as good as here] They also make really great cheese bread - huge pieces. Mom had Hungarian Pork Goulash - she said they should have just called it Cabbage soup with pork - but it was gtood. It was raining so I didn't get to sit with them outside - I had to stay in the car. - BOO -

Then we went back home and mom did more phone calls and a lot of paperwork stuff - but I sat right next to her the whole entire time. This is me checking out our business card and making sure the info is correct - if you biggify you can see that my picture is on there with mom's!

That's about it - it's now Friday night and I am so tired from a hard week at work - Mom is bored because the only thing on TV is Teddy Kennedy's wake - while mom might agree that he was a powerful Senator and did many good things for women and minorities - she was not a fan - she met him back in 1978-79 when he was planning his run for the presidency at a fund raiser - he was a mysognistic pig according to mom - then Chappaquidich happened and that ended that dream - she doesn't want to speak ill of the dead - but she was no fan!-

Have a great weekend.

Secret City Festival - aka Hot as HE double L

We went to the Secret City Festival today - it was about one thousand degress with humidity to match - I met this crazy little Jack Russel/Rat Terrier Mix - he was very cute - but NUTS

I had to back away from him so he would chill out - where he found the energy in this heat is totally beyond me

We didn't stay long it was just too darn hot - it was so hot that if there wasn't grass daddy carried me because he didn't want me to put my little paws on the steaming pavement!

finally - home in the cool with mommy - mom said don't get used to pics of her - this is the last one - you can see Livy's Lemonade sign behind her - it's even too hot to sell lemonade -
tomorrow they're going to lavendar festival - I think I'm staying home!

CHECKERS RECOMMENDS
