Hello. I've been absent for a few days. Had a wonderful visit with my son and he fixed a few things for me, mostly electronic-type stuff. When Dish came and put me on the Hopper they removed the dish from my guest house so I no longer had tv out there. Son and I went to town and ate on Saturday so we went into Wal-Mart, where he got a Roku and installed it at the guest house. I don't think there's much on it I'd want to watch but that's okay since I'm not out there much. It's just another hassle for me to try to figure out anyhow and I'm still finding my home tv tiring to watch. I did figure out how to set up my favorites and record, etc., the basics, but I still can't do anything automatically on it. Every time I want to do anything--like change channel or any basic thing--I have to put on my reading glasses, turn on a lamp and try to remember all the steps involved. If I accidentally hit the wrong button it goes off into unknown territory. Oh well, point is, I'm not even close to being in a mood where I want to learn how to operate one more new thing! But the Roku in the guest house allows my kids to watch when they stay there. They can also watch streaming things in my house by using their own accounts.
That brings me to the phone call I got from my other son this morning. He and his family and my daughter and her family (except for her son, who lives and works in east Texas) are planning to come here on Saturday and go to church with me on Sunday morning, then leave for home from there. He thought I already knew (thought his sister had told me) lol..... No, a total surprise to me. Of course I'm thrilled but I've got to try to make some order out of the chaos in my house (and guest house), and get some beds ready. My niece is coming today to put some moth balls around the hole the skunk has dug out to go and come from under the guest house. I just ordered some Bad Air Sponges to put out there, IF the moth balls do drive the skunk out. The list goes on. I have to pick one day and go somewhere to get laundry detergent and other things. Maybe tomorrow.
I'm glad the bad weather split and went either side of us. We had clouds but no rain or anything besides wind, which goes on and on. Yesterday I literally had trouble walking from my car to the house after church. Hasn't been that bad today but a cold front did come through a couple of hours ago. Sexton, probably the one that's headed your way.
Thinking of all of you with your extreme weather conditions and other problems. Be as safe and comfortable as possible.
Nasty rain will be back tomorrow.
