Well, I am exhausted!!! I got back from the cabin a little while ago, having gone yesterday till today to do some spring cleaning. Becky does a good job after guests leave, but I found plenty to do in order to feel useful. There sure was a lot of dog hair, between the vacuum cleaner, in the drier after laundering all the slipcovers, sweeping under the furniture. And I took most of it outside and scattered around in the woods so the birds can use it for their nests.
When I go to the cabin, it's almost never to relax. But I love it anyway. Oh I did take a soak in the hot tub. I got to listen to a lot of the pet music CDs while I worked inside, and the weather was beautiful while I was outside. My neighbor Mike, ever the gentleman, brought his rake over when he saw me, and we raked together and got caught up. He told me all about when he and Phyllis took down the tree that was due to fall on the house any time. We also took a look at the base of the driveway, by the road, and he's going to do some work there to smoothe it out. One of the things I remember best from our chats this weekend was when he told me that there's never been a guest that caused a bit of trouble.
I finally hung this CD display that I've had for a while, but I was waiting till I had enough pet music CDs (and dog DVDs) to fill it. It's pretty cool -- it's a wall hanging that displays six rows of five CDs each. Well, it holds mostly CDs but a few DVDs are among them. It's pretty interesting. Hopefully I'll eventually get a good photo of it, but all I had with my was my phone and that photo didn't turn out. Anyhoo, I find it interesting to look at, with all the pet music CDs. Bet you didn't know there are enough pet music CDs (and dog DVDs) to fill up a 30-CD/DVD display, didja? There is, and I'll miss not buying every one that I see anymore! There are lullabies, classical music, and all kinds of other great CDs with beautiful music that I'm sure lots of guest dogs love as much as I do.
Well, I have one more weekend at the cabin next weekend, then I won't be able to get back for a little while. I'm already looking forward to it. But tomorrow, Shannon and his family come in to enjoy the cabin until Thursday. I hope they relax much more than I did!! I'm sure they will!
