Just Saying Hi!

The flat tire on our TLX had too big a hole to repair, so she now has a brand new tire.  We have no idea what was run over; we did not see anything in the road.  I remembered we had points on the Acura rewards program and used those for the cost.  They paid almost all of it, so yay! for me for remembering about it!

It's been coolish, and damp here.  Had a couple cloudy days, but today is sunny and in 60's.

We have been trying for years to get help with the drainage issues at the side of our house.  Several times we talked to companies and they either backed out, didn't want the work, or said they would do it and then never show up.  But..... Les talked to a new company a month or so ago that seemed promising.  He called us Tuesday morning and said he was ready to do the work either that afternoon or on Wednesday morning.  He and his crew of guys showed up Tuesday afternoon, dug a trench down to the storm drain.  Installed a flexible pipe and a grated drain cover and then repaired the yard, raked and seeded.  And it was done for the estimated cost, so we are hoping this is going to help.  I kept his card in case we ever need anything else done.

I have continued with my catching up and have even gotten a good start on the Christmas shopping!  Other than that, the file cabinet has been cleaned out, some organizing done in the closets, and yesterday I did a little yard work out front.  Got the mulched area all cleaned up and the Liriope cut back.  Will do some in the back yard on the next  yard work day.

Life is great!  Stay safe and God Bless America!
