EIGHT DAYS

THE TIMING WAS PERFECT, AS ONE OF OUR TWO HOUSE SITTING JOBS CAME THROUGH LAST WEEK.  IT HAD TO BE THE HOTTEST WEEK OF THE SUMMER WITH FOUR OR FIVE DAYS IN A ROW GOING OVER 110 DEGREES AND WE WERE SITTING SMACK DAB IN THE MIDDLE OF THE SWIMMING POOL.

IT WAS SOOOO NICE……

HOW NICE? WELL WE ONLY WORKED 23 HOURS FOR THE WEEK AND SAT IN THE POOL DRINKING JACK AND ICE COLD BEERS.  I ATE THREE RIBEYES OFF THE GRILL AND SHOUTED FOR GLEE WHEN THE HOME OWNER CALLED AND SAID THEY WERE SPENDING AN EXTRA DAY BEFORE THEY RETURNED HOME.

I WAS HAPPY WITH SUSIE, THE CAT, AS SHE ONLY RAN ONE A/C WHILE WE WERE GONE AND HELD THE ELECTRIC BILL DOWN TO UNDER $5 A DAY, AND SUSIE, THANKS FOR WATERING THE PLANTS.
