August 29 - Arlo Fishing and Donna’s Birthday

​

August 28 - Arlo Fishing, Sewing with GiGi, Donna’s Birthday

Arlo walked with us on Lenny’s walk. Arlo took his fishing pole so he could “fish.”  

​Gigi, Arlo’s daycare person, asked me to help her make a rug for her closet. The material was so soft. 

When I got home, Lenny was sleeping, tongue out and head on the pillow.

Time for Donna’s party. Good friend of Shan and Carl (and now ours), Donna has a birthday. We were able to celebrate it with her. 

Donna and Arlo were playing stacking robots. They did it!

As we played SkyJo (birthday girl won!), we watched the sky unfold this beautiful sunset. 

August 27 - Down the Hill

​Shuff and I drove down to Sacramento to finish a project for Erin and do a few errands. 

Erin’s fig tree was growing so fast that it needed to be staked. Everything grows so fast with the sun and warm temps. 

Erin also has a pair of slacks that need to be hemmed so I measured that for her. 

After Drew finished at the University, he met us at The Garden for a beer and catch up a bit. 

After dinner we drove back to Nevada City. Sorry, no pics for this post. 

August 26 - Lenny Walk, Big day for Arlo

​Lenny still seems to enjoy our walks. He made it almost 2 miles today. 

Arlo had his first day of the new school. It’s close to where he lives so Carl took him on the bike. Arlo was excited to get going. 

It must have been a hard day. Shan had told Arlo that we would go for ice cream after his first day. However, he was too tired. When Shan picked Arlo up from school on the bike, he was asleep on the back of the bike before they got home. 

And this is all the farther he made it in the bed … still with his helmet on. 

He finally woke up 2-1/2 hours later. and had a popsicle outside.

Wonder what tomorrow will be like!

Shan and Carl met some friends at Three Forks for a drink so we got to spend some time with Arlo.

He gets to watch Paw Patrol while sitting on the potty!

August 25 - Last day at Gigis, Lenny Walk, Arlo’s Meet and Greet

​Shuff, Lenny and I went on our usual morning wake up walk. 

Arlo went to Gigi’s for his last day there. 

For dinner we went to a potluck at Arlo’s new school, Miss Tiana. The families were there so everyone could at least meet and greet. The kids immediately started to play with each other. I think Arlo will do great here. Here’s the group:

Do I know names of everyone?  NO. But I’m sure Arlo will eventually. 

Another pretty sunset from their house.

August 24 - Lenny Walk Aquasize, Praying Mantis, Bubbles and Fog Light install

​We are continuing our morning walks with  Lenny. We go about 1.5 miles. 

Then I had Aquasize at Memorial Pool.

When I came home, there was a praying mantis outside our RV. 

Arlo and I played with bubbles again. 

Carl and Shuff began to install fog lights on Carl’s truck with Arlo’s help. 

While Arlo and I played outside, we saw another praying mantis. This one was brown and crawled up the screen door. 

Evenings are cooling down nicely. 

August 23 - Lenny Walk, Slug, Walk to the Donkeys

​Arlo went with us on our Lenny walk in the morning. 

We saw another slug

Another Lenny walk with Arlo to the donkeys. Since Lenny is feeling more like his old self, we are getting our 10,000+ steps a day  

On our way to feed the donkeys, we saw the neighborhood cat, Tiger. He rolled on his back so Arlo petted him.
