What A Weekend!
At 8:00 on Sunday evening I raised my sore body off the couch to find the damn dog.
He had raced in, grabbed something, and raced back outside.
I came around the corner of the house and noticed a couple of things:
1). Ollie was digging a hole.
2). I had surprised him - his eyes were like saucers.
3). He had Humpy (named for obvious reasons) beside the hole. (Humpy is a 3’ caterpillar). He was digging a big hole.
He was burying his former lover!
And the weekend was wild for Ollie - he caught 520 balls off the garage from me. Sam threw him another 200.
We had a window replaced and the facia finally completely replaced.
I put down mulch.
Played a round of golf (still not in complete sync - but getting there).
Visited with Mom.
Took Kathy to dinner on Saturday and made her dinner, did laundry and vacuumed on Sunday.
And for a couple of glorious hours on Saturday when I picked up my phone I got the message:
“I-Phone Unavailable for 59 minutes.”
Which, of course, sent off panic alarms. I can’t work without a phone! I can’t even check the box scores.
I called Apple and they told me to turn it off and on again.
I did and the phone went from unavailable for 44 minutes back to unavailable to one hour.
We tried resetting the phone - Apple support on the computer texting me information.
It wouldn’t work!
She broke the bad news - I needed to take it to the Apple Store.
“The phone may need to be replaced.”
We made the appointment. I sat in silence. Felt naked. I didn’t have a phone!
I checked the phone.
“Unavailable for 33 minutes.”
“Re-start it again,” Kathy suggested.
“What if I wait the 33 minutes?”
“That isn’t gonna’ work.”
I ignored the phone.
35 minutes later, I turned it over.
It was on!
Like nothing happened.
So, all in all, a fun-filled, tiring weekend of sun and fun…
…and Humpy is right beside me.
Spared from being buried alive.
