Dogs, books, eggs and friends

A quiet neighbor dog day again, so they must have their son's 2 dogs crated inside the house. Though late yesterday afternoon Mr. had to run to a meeting and texted DH "sorry, I had to run to a meeting and didn't get time to crate the dogs", so they barked awhile, until Mrs got home. As she's pulling in her driveway the dogs are going nuts and she's pulling in, yelling at them to stop. We were outside and looked at each other and said "she doesn't even like it for a minute - try listening to it on and on". Speaking of good dogs....here's one of ours. Such a good boy. He will just sit there and wait for DH to come back out of the shop

Most months I try to remember to get my free kindle book from Amazon First Reads. Some months I forget about it. This month is 2 free books. Get yours, if you use this service, free with Amazon Prime membership :)

As I was driving back from town the other day I drove past the little place of the retired couple who have moved here from near where we used to live. I'm guessing they are around 70. They have a little piece of property (that does have a view of river). They live in an RV, but the little property did come with a detached garage. But, as I'm driving by it makes me wonder what they do to keep themselves busy. Maybe the guy does stuff in the little garage/shop. There isn't much that can be done in a small rv trailer. I'd think. Watch tv, read, or be on a laptop/computer. There isn't any yard in, so no yardwork or gardening, it doesn't appear. They did have built a cover over their rv (for winter snow, I'm sure) and do have a picnic table and some chairs also set out under it, so they do have an outside dining/seating area to sit at. Just made me wonder what they do to keep themselves busy and entertained while retired. I could see doing the rv thing if you traveled a bit with it or maybe split time between cold and warm climates, but they live here year round.

I must have really small openings to my ears, LOL. My ear buds stopped working. They were the kind that have the little soft rubber buds. So, I dug out the ear buds that came with my iphone. Those kind with the hard plastic buds. They are too big for my ears. They won't stay in and keep falling out. Guess I'll have to order some new ones of the other kind.

DH got the water sediment filters changed. I need to order some more and now can't find/remember where I ordered them from before. Usually I try to save links to stuff like that in a folder named HOUSE.

My friend I got the chickens from texted me yesterday. She got her first 2 eggs! She kept 7 of the chickens (her mom and I took the rest). I'm patiently waiting for my eggs. LOL.

Our "loud" friend called dh yesterday. He's the one that bought a place about 2 hours from us. It's like 38 acres with an unfinished 2 bedroom log home (basically the shell). He paid around $200k for it last summer. He calls dh and says "Trulia says my place is now worth over a million dollars!". DH is like what? how? LOL. He's not a guy you try to tell different. He hangs up and goes to his address for Trulia and all the other real estate sites. Value is still low 200's. LOL. I'm like his value is not going to increase a million dollars! What a dork. He's done a little bit of work, but several thousands worth. Not enough to increase the value very much. He thinks because of that show Yellowstone his value increased a million dollars in a year. Too funny. We are guessing he might have accidentally been looking at one of his nearby neighbors places value, haha. And honestly, if his value had increased like that, he'd have it listed for sale faster than he could have called DH up about it. LOL
