And This Is the Week.....

All sorts of things have gotten done this week, starting with last weekend's work on the mailbox and the trimming and yard work out front.  I spent a little more time on desk work this week as I had to make some changes and updates to our billpay system with our credit union.  Several of our utility companies have changed names and one credit card company made changes that involved mailing us new cards that never arrived.  That is hopefully all straightened out now.

We've been sorting and putting names to all the pictures we took on our trip.  Nice way to spend the time!  It was a good trip!

We had that very windy storm on Tuesday and were inside all day.  The rain gauge said 4 1/2", but by the time I got out to read it some may have evaporated.  Also a lot of the rain came sideways in the wind and might not have made it into the tube!  Yesterday afternoon we got out and did some clean-up.  Had two huge bags and a pile of bigger pieces.  While we were out working I also did a little trimming on some dead azalea bits and some other chores outside.  Glad that is done for now!  However....the local weather people are keeping an eye on Irma.  There is a chance she might head this way but it is too soon to tell.

Les had to make an urgent dental appointment when a 25+ year old cap on his tooth decided it was time to give up.  He has had two appointments and currently has a temporary until the new one is ready.  He is doing well and is playing golf today.

One fun job this week was to work on the trip collage.  I usually make a collage for each major trip we take.  They are a good way to remember the good times we've had.

That picture of us in the top left corner is when we first got off the cog railway train at the top of Pikes Peak in the snow.  :)

I am continuing to read the Longmire books and am about ready to start another one later today.  We are anxiously waiting for the next season of the show to be released!

Another time-consuming job was setting up the 2018 calendar.  We both have several appointments already set up for 2018 and we try to coordinate our scheduled things so they show on both our Google calendars and are on the large paper calendar we keep hung up on the bulletin board.  We try not to schedule conflicting appointments in case one of us has to drive the other.  Yes, I know, paper calendar is old school!  But I like having that.  I also write reminders for when certain things need to be done to the house.

So, it has been a busy week.  Life is good.  Stay safe and God Bless America!
