One evening, I asked the nice man, George, who waited on our table morning and evening, how his day had been. He said very good, as he had been visiting a dog he'd found on Facebook which someone was trying to place for adoption. George said he wanted to get a friend for his current dog, which had been rescued in Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03853238256715757283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-468223150447785936.post-55890720848149082262018-11-10T23:20:03.731-08:002018-11-10T23:20:03.731-08:00I don't like having people over, nor do I like... I don't like having people over, nor do I like going to people's places. I tire easily and I don't want to get up in the middle of dinner and tell my guests to have a good time but I have to go to bed now, or go out and come home 30 minutes after I get there. People get upset but it's not something I can control. I quite like mushroom pictures, and can send you some lovely ones.

When I am forced to engage socially, I tend to pull up pictures of my dog because I’m more comfortable with my dog and would much rather be with her. I imagine that’s how your dad felt about mushrooms. After dinner with the Dunns, he missed mushrooms and needed to visit with them.Nancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15166865250789996825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-468223150447785936.post-48102988048924521752018-11-10T18:54:19.596-08:002018-11-10T18:54:19.596-08:00But MY dog is really cute and does lots of amusing...But MY dog is really cute and does lots of amusing things.
