A Good Spot

Sugar has finally found the perfect spot. Sitting on the
hearth. You'd think he'd have found it before this but it's
the first time I've seen him sitting there. It's not a very
soft place to sit but when there's a fire going, it's
certainly a warm one. Yesterday he was sleeping in the
shop. On Shep's bed! It's a good thing Shep wasn't in
there. On the other hand, Shep is such a sweet and gentle
dog he probably wouldn't have done a thing.

Tomorrow is Veteran's Day. Actually, today is
Veteran's Day but the official holiday is tomorrow so people
who have it as a paid holiday will have three days off
in a row. Government offices will be closed, there will be
no mail delivery, and schools will be closed. Well, some
schools. The K-12 schools are closed but the universities
still have classes. Because Central Linn is on a four-day
week, this means that Gavin and Hugh will have school on
Friday to make up for not having it tomorrow.

John picked up a truckload of cornstalks and firewood from
his parents house on Friday but it's still all sitting in
his truck. It's supposed to begin raining soon so he'll
probably be sorry he waited. We need to get over there and
finish preparing everything to get through the winter and
tomorrow will be a good day to do that.
