This and That

   First off--he's having a blast. His only negatives concern the food. Long waits in line, skimpy servings, too expensive. I told him it will get better once things settle down, when he learns the best times for eating, and when he figures out which cafeterias have the best meals. Then I told him that I read there's a pizza place that accepts the meal card....
  Rusty is doing a bit better. He may be thinking that with Walt gone, he's moved up a rank in the family. He went to Walmart with us, but didn't understand having to wait in the car. Yesterday, for the first time in a couple decades, Ken and I ate  in front of the television. We put Rusty's bowl in there, too, so we could all sit together. When I didn't feel like having lunch, Ken made hotdogs for himself and Rusty.
  It's dreary and drizzley here. My only goal for the day is to mop the kitchen floor. Then we might go poke around the antique stores. Too bad dogs aren't allowed.

Pretty, but smells odd

Green, lumpy gravy--our favorite

Waiting for Dad at WalMart

The autumn sedum is just beginning to...yuck. I don't want to think about it.
