We drove to the vet's clinic way out 294, through the woods over a dirt road almost into Tennessee to get Maxine her antibiotic.  This summer when her eyes wept a rusty fluid, the vet put her on Clavamox and in a few days her eyes began to clear up and she felt better. She lost her appetite when she had the infection.   Don't know if it's her old gums or sinuses or what but the Clavamox worked.  We'll see if it clears up again. We also got her some kitty Geritol to get thiamine, B vitamins, other vitamins, and minerals back into her system.  She can have Ensure, Carnation Evaporated milk to soothe her stomach, and raw egg if she wants.  We know she's geriatric but right now we're trying to make her comfortable. I warmed a couple tbs of evaporated milk for her when we got home, and she actually drank it then laid down for a catnap.

Last week, Pat and I roamed around Andrews, a little city out near Marble.  Cliff and Larry went to "a man's garage sale" with wires, antennae, speakers, hammers, rusty old things, and unidentified objects.  We found a great Thrift Store right near the Mexican Restaurant were we all met up and had lunch.  It was $5 bag sale day.  I filled a large paper grocery bag with 3 denim dresses/skirts, 2 nice winter pullovers, some sheers for the garden row covers, and some other items.  Yesterday I cut up one of the denim dresses and made an apron to sell.  My hairdresser displays crafts  from a few people and was kind enough to allow my aprons to be among them in her shop.  So far I've sold 3.

With the holidays approaching, aprons may sell for gifts or personal use.  Time to get busy.
