It rained
during the night…nothing better to be in bed and hearing it rain.
I got up at
5:30… sun is up…sitting here typing looking out at the tall evergreens …nothing
better!!
We hadn’t
had any showings yet so hoping things will happen this week… we worked on
putting cedar mulch around the back landscaping before we left… looked really
nice… I do love our backyard…it is so private..
It was
overcast…supposed to rain on and off all day.
I cleaned out the pantry cupboard to make room for the large box of things I
brought from home..I was worried I wasn't going to fit everything in there but there was some
-wasted space … nice to get it re-organized (always a continuing process)
and good to see what I actually have…
I called
over to Beth and Rocky’s around 8:30…Rocky answered and said Beth was on her
way over…he was working at Sawgrass today…which is a development in Cornucopia
on the Lake…very exclusive homes/cabins ..Rocky takes care of the trees there.
Beth got
here soon after I hung up. I started to
make some coffee and then remembered the Christmas presents Pat and Vonnie had sent
along with us…one was a krups box…I sent her out to get it…thought it would be
fun for her to use… and I have never used one myself, so fun for me too…she
opened it and it was full of presents…we got a good laugh about that…there was
a pretty sweater and lots of other great things …Pat and Vonnie never
disappoint on the present factor!!
She was
working in Corny today at a remodel which she said was a real challenge…so
proud of my Master Electrician! Later
she was running with Sarah out at Lost Creek…I have been there and remember
walking was a real challenge!!
After she
left we went to Iron River for some groceries and stopping at the Artesian
well.
I am really
into my book and read most of the way…
The grocery
store was as frigid as ever…but I had on my thick sweatshirt… it will take
awhile to get used to where things are in the store.
We stopped for
lunch at the A&W… it was fun sitting in the car and getting our meal
delivered on a tray… the car hop was close to our age …which seemed fitting…
No
Teenburgers anymore…just the papa burger…I had a Mozerella cheese burger with
tomato/bacon/lettuce and a special sauce…and of course a frosty mug of root
beer, plus my date paid!
I had made some kombucha for Tom when I visited
him… I text him to see how it turned out…he text back and
said he was apprehensive to do the next step… so I went up the hill to get
better service to call him…
I told him
what to expect and if the baby had formed from the Scoby things would be good…
he text later and said he had a nice baby and had a question on what to put
the scoby’s into…so glad it was working for him…the couple yrs I have been
making it I only had one time it didn’t work out…and that was because I got tap
water involved…chlorine kills the scoby.
I took my rings off and dropped one into the vent on the floor...I got the screwdriver out and Steve instructed me on how to use it… hard to
be patient with men sometimes….since I had it off I cleaned out the grass and dirt in there...
It was a good day to read and nap… Steve went
out and got the lawnmower ready
and drove it
up to the trailer between the downpours.
I hadn’t
heard from our realtor so I text her to see if she had been receiving my
texts…then I e-mailed her….. course the service is so hit or miss in the
trailer the e-mail didn’t go through… hope everything is okay with her…
Got a text from Mary…she always shares
interesting things she is learning in school… this one was in her Psychology
book that helping people who have a problem with debilitating fear can be
accomplished with experiences of joy..it is less of a problem, or at least
easier to overcome. On to say that joy
is incompatible
with fear. She thought that was really
cool if taken with a Christian perspective.. When we have that deep inner
spiritual joy fear is not there. So very
true!!!
Steve wanted
to take a ride around the block to see how things were with all the rain so we did. The Flagg River wasn’t that high…which was good and Flagg river Rd wasn’t
washed out……
We got back
and I fixed soup again for supper… it was enough for us..I had been chewing on
the Keebler double chocolate chunk cookies all afternoon…why did I buy them????
But I haven’t really been that bad…there still is over ½ the package left!
Steve looked outside and even though it was raining the sun was peeking through…I went out and took some pictures…it was beautiful!
