Hey! Getting Back to "Normal"

I know that there are many, many people still dealing with the problems caused by Hurricane Matthew and all the flooding.  But right here, right now, things are getting back to normal.

Our friends are back in their homes in South Carolina.  J & B say they just had a lot of yard debris to clean-up.  And of course, the after-a-storm chores of putting things back in place.  I have not heard any more from E since she said they were on the way home and T had bought a new chain saw to deal with the mess their neighbors told them about.  I am hoping that the flood water did not get into their house.

Golfer and I have been busy around here.  We've both been finishing up projects.  I've  been keeping up with the usual household chores and errands.  He got the shed door painting finished.

I got out and did some yard clean-up for a few hours.  Feels good to get that done.  Golfer thinks maybe he will mow next week.  Right now we have a lot of new little grass seedlings coming up and we don't want them disturbed!

Kirk had to go to the Acura dealership this morning for what I thought would be a quick stop to get some air in the tires.  (Kirk's tires use the Nitrogen mix)  They found a nail in one and I waited while they fixed that.

It's been beautiful weather here - in the 60's and sunny.  Today has been a little warmer but a front is coming through tonight with some wind and is supposed to cool things off some more and only be in the low 60's for a few days.  The A/C is off and the windows are open.  Our furry boys are happy!

We had some computer issues that kept Golfer pretty busy for a while.  Our external drive we use for storage died.  Technology changes so quickly that it is not always a fast, easy fix when something needs to be replaced.  But it's all done now and everything is working.

I finally got a picture of our new weather vane that we bought in Ohio.


Stay safe!
