Back to the Grind

Spring Break is over and I'm back home. The time flew by while I was at Lake Panasoffkee. I am happy to say that I completed almost everything on my list of things to do. I bought a new hummingbird feeder for my dad and he filled it and put it up outside. The hummingbirds started feeding immediately. Everyday I fed peanuts to the squirrels. One would take the peanut from my hand. My cat, Star, tried to chase and catch the squirrels but she never had a chance. I think the squirrels spent most of their time hanging out in the trees laughing at her trying to catch them. Blackie, my parent's cat, was tolerant of Star. They have a pretty good relationship: when Star comes inside, Blackie goes outside and when Blackie comes in, Star goes out. While I was there I baked two cakes, a pineapple upsidedown cake and a spice cake with cream cheese frosting. I visited with my brother and his wife and their new dog. They call her Baby. I'm not sure what breed she is but she looks just like the dog Toto from "The Wizard of Oz." I finished reading the book Girl With a Pearl Earring. More about that later. I cleaned out my mother's rose bed and put fertilizer on the grass. Yes, I went shopping at my favorite store Bealls. I allowed myself to buy two pairs of shoes, and some skirts and blouses. I had a great time, I was always busy and I enjoyed every moment of it. Nine more weeks until summer vacation. I can't wait!
