Million Dollar View

This is the view taken moments ago from my bedroom window- The lake seems to have its own personality and moods- today it's gleaming and sparkling- another gorgeous day- All that talk about housecleaning inspired me to do a little- very litte- Plugged in the vacuum- Phew! The stench of Brutus dog exhaling from the back of the machine- rush to the cupboard and pour out some of those little aromatic granules supplied by Electrolux - went to garbage can to dispose of package- return to rug ---granules gone !!! Billy smacking his lips-- oh oh- should I call poison control, 911 , Frank --- No, I'll wait , Billy has eaten much worse and survived- and then I think, maybe that really is the best way to control dog odour- we'll see- that low fat dog food has a "breaking wind frequently" side effect- maybe his "wind" will be aromatic and I've just"inadvertently" stumbled on an amazing discovery that will make me rich--- Then he bolts through the open door and decides to go for a full body immersion in the lake- rushes in and chooses our BED to dry off on- Wet stinky dog smell- now I have to wash the comforter- granules haven't taken effect yet- Dogs !!!!

Now, back to that view- Five years ago, when we purchased the property, that little separate parcel of lake frontage was assessed for five thousand- This year it has become more valuable- Eleven thousand!! It's not big enough for building purposes, (except for a gazebo that Frank has been wishing for) and is at times partially submerged- Could we sell it for eleven grand? Don't think so- would spoil the view- would we sell for any amount- make an offer!!! If we live long enough, who knows what it will be worth- Gotta go wash the bedding-
