Today was an awesome day! Yes, this morning started off with me waking up at 730am to take care of the neighbor's dogs, Deisel and Kodak, for the next to last time this morning. I got up, went next door, fed and watered the dogs, opened the curtains, pet and scratched the dogs and then went home, where I got dressed and then hubby drove me to the Zoo, Cheyenne Mountain Zoo, for my monthly Docent meeting. I got on hubby's case when we were driving up because he was driving too fast and switching lanes a lot to get there faster. I told him we had plenty of time but he was short tempered and tense. Later I found out that the country music I had put on was giving him a headache. Not an excuse for him though. He apologized just as we got there and he dropped me off. I love him but sometimes I am only human.
The Docent meeting went well and finished up just in time for me to leave. We spent 45 minutes going over things we need to know for answering questions about our accreditation that ill be going on this summer. In order to keep our AZA accreditation, or renew it, the people will be out here questioning any of the Docents, volunteers, staff and other representatives of the Zoo and we have to know most of this stuff or we can get bad marks. And our accreditation is what gets us grants, donors, and memberships. It helps us with funding and being a part of a reputable SSP, species survival plan, of breeding and conservation. Our accreditation allows us to get new animals in, participate in animal exchanges and much, much more. So it's a really big deal.
When I walked down to the front gate to meet hubby, 15 minutes before he usually picks me up, 1115, I mostly expected him not to show up until 1130 but to my surprise, he came walking over to me 5 minutes after I got there. He arrived early, had to use the bathroom and the gate let him go in to do that since he told them who I was. Yeah!
We went to lunch at Culver's and I ate half a cheeseburger with everything but mayo and onions. Then we went to Micael's where I got the last of the stuff I needed for Cassie's wedding bouquet. Now that I really have to make it, I hope to hell it will come out nice. Then I got matching yarn for the yarn that Cassie brought me to make her soon to be mother in law's cowl scarves. There wasn't enough so I bought 4 more skeins. She will have to pay me back.
Then we went home so I could get ready to meet Judithmary at Holy Apostle's Catholic Church for the special Mother/Daughter tea they were hosting. Since neither my mother nor my daughter could make it, I invited my friend to come with me. We ate tiny sandwiches, cookies, homemade mints, brownies and fruit and drank lots of tea. It was a lot of fun and I did win one of the door prizes, a silver glittery cross. I put it in my truck. Elroy. Which I would like up and running soon.
When I went over to the neighbor's house to walk the dogs later, hubby came with me again, like he has been doing when he is home, and we had a very nice walk. When we got back, he made a special trip to the gas station for me to get me a Cherry Limeade soda, isn't he just the sweetest? Then I fed and watered the pups, cleaned up their pooh, and settled in for a visit with the dogs. I was sitting there watching Property Brothers when my neighbors came home! I didn't expect them until after midnight but they said no, they were home now. I had fed the feral cats early too so I am glad I did! Anyway, I filled them in on what had been going on, made my leave and left. But not before they paid me another $100 for watching the dogs. Yeah!
Since hubby and I will be seeing the new Advenger's movie tomorrow, I asked him if we could watch the first one tonight. He has seen it several times and I haven't seen it at all.
