We are back from London. Let me tell you we are very blessed to have so many friends and neighbors helping us be able to take our vacation. As many of you know we have a zoo here and it is not easy sometimes to juggle the schedules. With everyone pitching in we were able to enjoy our vacation without a worry.
Ross and Reid did a great job of feeding all the animals. I understand after the 2nd day Vader was out and they had no problems looking for him for his shot. He even let them pet him! Vader learns very fast on who he needs to buddy up to. Ross came in one day just to check on things and found Loch Ness had died. Loch Ness is a bottom feeder Jennifer has had 4-5 years and that grew to be at least 4" long. RIP our little monster.
Thank You, Ross and Reid!Dawn and Craig were nice enough to come over and give Spike his baths. Dawn played with the cats and since there were no strings out I figure she was playing Athena's game of the "Huntress" as well.
Thank You, Dawn and Craig!Jeff was our back up on Vader if needed and to just keep an eye on things. He sent us a picture of what damage the storm did at our house. The flag pole was blown down! As well as lot of of twigs and branches. He was kind enough to take the pole and put it into the back yard so it was not going to blow around and cause damage to others or their property, if the winds or storms came back through. I guess I don't get the "Yard of the Month" . Always so close. :) (WHAT EVER!)
Thank you, Jeff!I asked the Debbie , Banner and Honor if they could water my pots in the middle of the week and pick up and trash that might blow into the yard. WOW! Danny, Banner and Honor dad, seen or heard the flag pole was down and came and took the flag off the pole since it was touching the ground.
THANK YOU! The flag touching the ground is a disrespect to the flag. I would have felt bad if people passing by thought I did not care. Then Debbie, Honor and Banner came over and picked up the front and side twigs and branches and stacked them on the side of the house. Debbie called to be sure we were home and she told me that they had planned on picking up the back yard, putting the chairs back in place as well as move the grill back. (We have a grill that likes to move in storms. The wheels are locked but it still moves. ) I told them not to worry I would do it. They went above and beyond the little bit of trash.
Thank you, Danny, Debbie, Banner and Honor!Brenda, Cary's mom called Cary on Thursday evening to ask if we knew our flight had been cancelled. We had not been notified. Well everything worked out. We got on an earlier flight and was home 2 hours earlier. Gary, Cary's dad was kind enough to pick us up from the airport. Thank you for calling and letting Cary know.
Thank you, Brenda and Gary!So as you can see we are very blessed to have friends and neighbors who look out for us. Believe me, we appreciate each and everyone of them on a daily bases!
THANK YOU!!!!!!!
Let me tell you about Cary the "Navigator" . As many of you know we really love Cary and just feel he beings a lot to our family. Well Cary showed us another talent, Navigating. We can usually get around but for some reason London through us for a loop. Since Cary had been to London before he knew his way around . The first day he was able to get us from the airport to the train station to the hotel. We then went just up the street to Buckingham Palace. After the tour and checking out everything there he took us sight seeing and looking for supper. He would tell us things about the area(s) and any thing we needed to know. He and I brought mini maps and his was used a lot more than mind. (I hate getting my glasses out to read) He was so great getting us around to where ever we needed to go. So I gave him the nick name "Navigator". I loved the fact he could take us down the back streets of London so we could see more of the city its self. It's also quieter!
