They were palmetto bugs. I just laughed. Call 'em what you want, they are cockroaches! <br />Isn't it funny that we give a damn what an exterminator or repair person thinks about our cleaning or not cleaning? So silly. <br />All I need is some boots and a shotgun and I could totally be Granny Clampett.

I feel like I'm doing nothing -- or not much, anyway -- and yet before I know it I'm in bed and I'm EXHAUSTED!<br /><br />Glad you got another visit with the boys and Jessie, and you got to read to them. As frustrating as all the distancing is, these will someday be precious memories for all involved.

I blame it on the beautiful weather! It's hard to work indoors when it's cool and sunny and the sky is blue. As soon as I finish my morning coffee (I'm still sipping coffee at 11am) I have to get off my lazy butt and actually work on the inside of the house because the pest guy is coming tomorrow for our quarterly spray. I'm paranoid that if the floors are unswept and the counters are sticky he'll secretly think, "No wonder they need to spray for bugs".....sigh. (We see the biggest roaches...excuse me, "palmetto bugs"....at this house and I cannot abide having them in my house.)

Also, it was highly entertaining watching the dogs bark and chase it. She put an ashtray on it, with a burning sage smudge, which was also entertaining! <br />So glad you got to visit with those beautiful, smart boys.”That’s crazy!” Cracked me up!!<br />Xoxo <br />Barbara Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08269412736754228930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-39394504405832896072020-04-29T10:45:36.639-04:002020-04-29T10:45:36.639-04:00yay for picnics. same ole same ole here. visiting ...yay for picnics. same ole same ole here. visiting with neighbors as we encounter each other on the street keeping our distance.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-56618412340245896112020-04-29T08:53:27.941-04:002020-04-29T08:53:27.941-04:00The days to seem to slip by, one not much differen...The days to seem to slip by, one not much different than the other.
