Mixed bag Saturday

Saturday, which is already yesterday, was for the most part a pretty quiet day around Chez Lola. Blog Mom says everyone's under the weather. She's had a relapse. She was getting better and went back to work but feels awful today. Her boss, who is also our friend, feels the same way and can't seem to get rid of it either. Then Daddy, who had been in charge of everything while Blog Mom was sick, finally succumbed as well. Thank goodness Alpha Mom is still OK. Of course, that meant that she was able to take me for my bath and then could be out doing things that don't have anything to do with me, Lola, all afternoon, so when I say thank goodness she's all right I'm speaking very unselfishly.

While it was pretty quiet around the house there was this one interesting thing. There were a bunch of men I didn't know working at a house that's right in back of mine. Some of them were up on the roof hammering things and making all kinds of noises. I decided to hang around and watch the show for a while through the chain link fence. Pretty soon one of them came over to visit with me. Then another did, too and we all stood around chatting and the work they were doing had to wait a while. I hope they come back soon. I just love making new friends.

Speaking of friends, since Blog Mom has not felt up to much in the way of new photos this week it seems a very good time to introduce you to my very best through-the-fence neighbor and friend. She lives right next door and she's just my age.

 

Here she is. Her name is Sambuca. Isn't she beautiful?

 

And she's always such an elegant lady.

We like to meet at the fence and talk about the other neighbors. She always knows what's going on.
