Today was a very good day,nice and relaxing. We got to sleep in till 6;30. It was 46 degrees when we went to take the dogs out and the wind was strong. It definitely woke you up,the cold brisk air that early in the morning.
After parc time, Jeff and I groomed our pups. I also did obedience before Breakfast.
At 8,we had breakfast. We had omelets,English muffin, fruit and coffee.
I went back to my room and called My Mom. Called to wish her Happy Mother's Day and to chat for a bit. I wasn't aware that you were reading Karen's Corner Mom. Glad you're interested in the blog and enjoy reading what is happening.
While housekeeping was cleaning our rooms,Dawn and I sat in the women's lounge and chatted for a while.
By then, it was almost time for me to go on my morning trip. Kristin and I drove to Kings Grocery. It was an easy and fun trip.
we worked on using clicker to find the Customer Service desk. First,we placed the bell by the desk,showed it to Joyce and she quickly rang the bell. I immediately clicked and gave her a piece of kibble for an reward.
Then, I gradually stood further back and had her find the desk,first with the bell and reinforcing by food reward. Then, I was outside of the store,and had her locate the desk without the bell and food reward but praised her with positive words and affection. Joyce did great.
Then we walked around the store. Kristin pulled the cart,while I held onto the front and pushed it,heeling Joyce.
We stopped at the meat,seafood,bakery and coffee sections and Joyce did wonderful,no scoffing or sniffing. She was very well behaved.
I picked up a few items for Jeff and me and then we drove back to Campus. That was it for today's lesson.
For lunch they had grilled chicken in this spicy honey mustard sauce and roasted potatoes. it was pretty good.
I relaxed in the afternoon.
Around 2;30,got a phone call. It was my friend Mary Anne. I wasn't planning on having visitors. But,guess, marry Anne was not busy and stopped by for an hour with her 12 year old daughter Lydia. I met Lydi when she was small but she didn't remember me.
They both love Joyce and had a great time with her. and visiting with me. marry Anne and I were telling Lydia stories of what the other was like and had done in High school and fun things that happened when visiting with each other's families.:)
lydi was telling us about her experience in third grade visiting here at the Seeing Eye when her class took a tour of the place. Again the visit was way too short but I am grateful I had a chance to see her while here in n. J.
marry Anne and Lydi stopped by Subway before heading over to Morristown. I knew dinner would be keish so had her get me a small tuna on wheat.
I did go down to dinner but just had the soup and some lemonade. they had deep dish ham keish and Boston cream pie for dessert but I didn't have it.
Free for the evening. some of the students are in the dog massage lecture tonight. I went to that last night.
I think I will begin a new book and maybe, hang out in the common lounge for a little while. I still have some while wine left so today when at the grocery store picked up some cheese.
Joyce just went into her crate. I wasn't sure, but there she was,lying in it. How cute! now, she is playing with her bone.
I just checked the weather. In phoenix it is 91 degrees with a slight breeze at 3;30 pm,the low 62.
in contrast, here in Morristown N. J its now partly cloudy 57 degrees,low 36. there is a brisk breeze. ( tree branches fell in Morristown during the night/today). tomorrow it will be 64 for the high and the low 37 ( I just closed my window,getting too cold in my room ) .
Tomorrow morning we will be going to Headquarters Plaza hotel. That will be good work for Joyce since I work for Hyatt.
In the afternoon,I think we will be going to Livingston mall(near Basking Ridge where I use to live).
That's it for now. take care and stay tuned for the happenings of my last 3 days here. Time is slipping away. Have a good night.
