Good morning! Bright, sunny skies and 83 degrees. What a nice was to start the morning!!! Of course, about an hour ago, it was pouring, as it had apparently done a few times during the night. Bert brought the newspaper in and it was a soggy mess that went right into the garbage, even though it was in a plastic bag. What a waste!!
Bert's involved in a major project right now. Seems like we have a problem here every summer with teeny tiny "sugar ants" The name is deceiving as they really don't go after sugar, but everything else that is sweet and we even find them on the bathroom and kitchen counter. Right now Bert has everything off the kitchen counter and is treating it to get rid of the ants once again. He decided that while he was at it, he would totally clean the coffee pot and ran vinegar through it. Now he's got a problem in that no matter how much water he's running through the coffee pot, there's still vinegar in it!! Serves him right for being so efficient! And while all this is going on, he has everything from the kitchen counter spread out all over the place. What a mess! I don't want to know anything about this project, so he's on his own.
Kathie - Glad you finally got your power back. Now keep your fingers crossed that it stays on. I was really surprised that we never lost power during the storm yesterday. Some areas got hit real bad. Our electric company is really good for not losing power unless a transformer blows. Then all bets are off.
Dave - Interesting what it takes to get a handicap tag in different states. What works in one state doesn't work in another. What kind of walker are you using - one with 4 wheels or only 2? I have both. I use the one with 4 wheels and hand breaks in the house and the other one outside, as the 4 wheeler is heavy to lift into the house.
Lee - You OGCs really do like to work on projects. This one is the first of this type, isn't it? You sure are all getting experience and could rent out your services!! Bet you had your long pants on for your early morning walk with Ava. Am I right?
Karen - So what's on tap for today? Got an stuff to put back in place in preparation for the storm? I have only 1 more plant to put back on the top of the bakers wrack and all will be back in place.
Tonight we are going all Jersey diner food for dinner - fried shrimp sandwiches with coleslaw and mayo. Not exactly diet food, but they sure are good and remind us of those days growing up in NJ.
Coffee pot is finally ready, so I'm off to get a cup and to go outside for a while. I need some fresh air!!
