Ohio Valley Weather Update

 I am happy to report that the weather this week here in the 'Ville has been picture perfect.  It's been sunny every day, and the temperatures have been in the upper 70's.  The Old Man and I have been able to enjoy sitting out on the back porch this week - something we haven't done all summer due to the normal August heat and humidity.  I could get used to this.  

A Great Tuesday

 The Old Man and I had a great day today.  My new good friend from my BSF class visited us this morning, bringing her trained therapy dog Waffles and her husband Dan.  They were here for a pretty long while - it gave the Old Man someone new to talk to.  We all four (five, including Waffles) had a great morning talking and just being together.  We are already looking forward to their next visit.  We are so thankful for our friends.  

Covid 19 Update

 The Old Man and I were up early this morning, waiting for the roofers to come start on the garage repair.  I got a phone call from the company owner saying they would be delayed about a week, since three of his roofers have Covid.  He was headed to Walgreens to get tested, and since then also is positive.  He said they might be able to start Friday or Saturday.  

Stay tuned.  

Easy Like Sunday Morning

 I'm not ashamed to say that the Old Man and I are still resting up from the action-packed three day visit from my Favorite Cousin and her Dear Husband this past week.  We sure can cram in a whole lot of fun in three days. 

We're just chilling now, waiting for the Reds game to start later this afternoon, and anxiously awaiting the roofers to come in the morning for the big garage repair.  

We are thankful for the cooler temperatures today, and hope that they continue tomorrow so it won't be too hard on the roofers. 

Stay tuned. 

Covid 19 Update

 I made an early trip to the grocery this morning, and combined with a trip to the drugstore yesterday, I saw more people masking up than in previous weeks.  I am all for whatever it takes to keep us all safe.  

And Once Again, More Bad News

 I knew we couldn't bask in glow of our good luck with the insurance claim too long before something would break.  This time it's the deep freezer out in the garage,  I'm thankful that my Favorite Cousin was here to help me.  Last night, we cleaned out the freezer on the fridge, and brought in essentials from the freezer that hadn't thawed out yet. 

But it was a blessing in disguise.  Last night the Old Man and I decided that we don't really need a freezer for just us two.  So it will keep me from overbuying things just because they are on sale.  I go to the grocery store once a week (or twice if we decide we want something special) so I can buy ground beef, chicken, pork, and frozen foods as we need them.  There's really no need for me to have 3 frozen Tombstone pizzas or 6 TV dinners,  

It's all good,  

Finally Some Good News

 I got an email this morning from our homeowners insurance company saying that my claim for the water line repair has been approved, and that I should have the money deposited in my checking account tomorrow morning.  

For the first time in a long time, we have some good news. But we are not celebrating too much; we are just waiting for the next thing to break down. 

Stay tuned.
