Charlie Sue is very active in the backyard. She tore open bags of wood mulch, which helped me cover the roses more. She loves to dig and to chew. When I go outside, she poses as the attack dog and jumps in the air for a chew on my forearms.
My vegetable specialist suggested daily walks, which are easier than the high heat and humidity we had for the summer. Yesterday we walked to Bible John's house, so John invited us to sit a spell and visit with his wife Pat.
We discussed Super Large Print KJVs for people like us and smaller ones for women's prison groups and for kids. The smaller ones are about $4. Super Giant Print Bibles are around $15.
AT&T was trying to boost the couple's phone costs even higher so I called Ozarks (a co-op) and worked on the problem. Pretty soon Ozarks had the high speed connection into the house. AT&T kept trying to bully their way back into the picture. I have experienced their charm more than once. I tell them, "Around here, AT&T is a warning label!"
Charlie loves to kiss, so she had a lot of love for John and Pat. We still talk about Sassy Sue, who discovered that food would be served and always looked for bones to enjoy.
We had a perfect day for an afternoon walk. We went to the end of the cul-de-sac, came back and walked over to Joye to see John and Pat. The air was cool and we were glad that NWA was far too dry and humid but better than the Southeast.

| Porchi enjoys his finger-combed coat. If we work on both sides and his head, talking about how much Charlie loves him, he gently grabs me by the neck to be close. Little Dustmop, a tiny handful, uses Porchi so he can jump up and nibble on my fingers. |
