Robin, there you go, making me laugh again. Only one enjoyed the walk in the rain!
Kris and Manda, what fun--school pictures! I know you got great ones of Gena, Manda, and I'm sure Siege's will be good too. I look forward to seeing them.
Kat, I can't even wrap my mind around raking all those leaves. It was 50* here this morning, will get in the 80s*, then a cool down with possible severe storms tomorrow evening.
Squirrel, I'm sorry you keep getting pummeled with rain. I don't know how you screen babies but keep up the good work!
Poirot, I'm so sorry about your friend. You've had such a difficult and sad year, it's no wonder you are having tummy issues and insomnia. God bless and comfort you.
The welder arrived with materials to build my carport this morning and has finally gotten started. When he started to put down the plates to hold the supporting pipes/posts, he discovered he'd been given the wrong size bolts. He comes from my Wal-Mart store town, 40 miles from here. He came and asked me if my community has a hardware store. I had to stifle a chuckle. The center of the community is 5 miles from my house and it has a farm store, which is basically a gas station and not much more. It also has a feed store and 2 churches and that's it. He was not happy that he had to go back to his town (80 miles round trip) for the correct bolts). He has a very young helper--looks like a teenager. They both are afraid they'll see a rattlesnake. I told them if they did, to come get me.
The young guy was dodging, as though he'd seen a wasp, and probably did. I would think they'd have jobs in the country a lot but I don't know.....
