My Owl on a Stick

Yesterday when I got to Jane and Joe's, Joe showed me their Owl on a Stick.  It is a plastic owl that is mounted on a stick and it has head that moves with the wind.  The owl is meant to scare away birds like woodpeckers that do damage to your house.  Both me and the Bombelis have had holes drilled into our stucco and siding by crazy woodpeckers.  Joe said that his problem went away once he put the "owl" into his yard.  So I went over to Home Depot today and bought my own Owl on a Stick.  Tom, my builder, said he will bring a 10-foot pole (don't even go there with the jokes) and mount the owl near the fence and near the spot where the woodpecker has drilled holes into the siding.  Until then we have mounted the owl on a broom stick which Tom laced through the fence.  Hope this solves the problem.

Also purchased a medium-sized material purse made by Baggallini.  Jane was carrying one yesterday and I really like it.  I am tired of schlepping around my huge bag.  The new purse has a clip so that you can attach your keys (and find them when you need them) and a material wallet also clipped into the purse.  There are slots for credit cards and a ton of zipped pockets with room for my phone, etc..  The strap is long enough so I can carry it as a should bag or drape it around my neck if needed.  Only problem is that the only bag in the store was red and I preferred black -- but I bought it any way.  Can always get another online if I like it and still want a black bag.

Will try to feed the dogs in a few minutes (hope Lucy comes in) so I can leave by 5:00 to pick up Sabrina.  Haven't seen her in a week and I really miss her.  If Lucy doesn't come in she is going to have to spend the evening outside.  I have really had it with her.  I plan on spending the evening with Jessica, Mike , and Sabrina and not thinking about crazy dog Lucy!

David sent another text this morning that he has a meeting to interview a doctor at 11:00 tomorrow.  Now he wants to come at 9:00 so he can blow me off and rush out of the house to his meeting.  I wasn't going to let him get the last word so I told him to come at 8:30 because the new cleaning people will be coming at 9:30 and I want to pay attention to them once they arrive instead of having to deal with David.  The only thing that bothers me is that Natalie will be really sad that her "grandpa" is leaving so soon or will have left before she even gets here.  Like I said yesterday -- he is making the bed he will have to sleep in -- his problem.
