Well today being a nice day in the neighborhood I decided to get the new wet/dry vacuum out and start cleaning the back deck of the winters deposits. It became a larger effort due to the leaves (there is no tree other than evergreens within 500 ft) on the deck (I'm 4 stories up in the back) (where the leaves are coming from is unknown) and a number of packing peanuts that came from a box that had opened by itself in a wind storm. I'm making good headway in getting it clean. I need to finish so I can have room for the grill. On another note, my sister-in-law complained about my allowing my wife to go to graduation with wrinkles on her gown. First, I tried for hours trying to get the old steamer to work, unlike my sis-in-law has kept everything she ever owned even if it doesn't work, I threw out the steamer. I have two steam irons and somehow they are not where I left them but the search will continue. And finally I'm a great believer that one should take responsibility for getting their own clothes ready. I already do all the wash. Next subject.
I see my sis-in-law also refused to do things the way she was told and refused assistance from younger people when she dumped the boxes on moving day. As a person gets older, wisdom dictates one should listen to the doctor and be grateful someone wants to help. Lessons learned.
I got an email from Katie telling me she is taking the night bus to Buenos Aires tonight and coming back Monday. The night bus is very similiar to the Night Bus in the Harry Potter series. There is a hostess who serves food and the seats recline so you can sleep. It beats driving yourself. I almost asked if she was going up to BA for the memorial day holiday, but better sense struck first. I discovered today that Midnight likes Dutch Potato Salad. We are trying to schedule him for his trip to the VET for a check-up. He does not like the VET, any VET. We have to spell it because he understands when we say the name of he who shall not be named.
That's it from Sunny Pennsylvania where the temp is 82 with 44% humidity.

Your sister in law sounds like a wonderful person -but she obviously has never been married and doesn't realize husbands and wife's do not help each other out. Especially when one is retired and one is working. Ah well. Midnight, the cat, is in for another rude awakening, when he has his VET visit. He is way way to heavy for a dog and the fact that he is actually a CAT -well I hope cat diet food doesn't taste as bad a people diet food. I feel for you feline nephew. I also have been cleaning and sometimes throwing stuff away. I have all the windows cleaned -inside and out and screens in. Most of my summer clothes down and winter clothes up in the attic. Maybe some culling of the shoes and dresses. Maybe not. It is very difficult to give away the heels ........:))))).
I got back from Buenos Aires this morning. I had an awesome time, and I have a couple of funny stories which I'll post on my blog. It wasn't Memorial Day yesterday, but it was an Argentine holiday, so you weren't too far off the mark!
