Well!

Time just flies by, some of it good, some not so.  But I'll start with the good.

Pam came to stay with us for a couple days.  It was great to have her here.  We had a nice visit.  Jacquie came over one of the days and we did some cleaning out of things in the garage, and they tackled a couple other chores around here for us.  And we appreciate them both for doing it!

Then on to getting a new dishwasher.  While Pam was replacing a screw on the bottom front plate of the dishwasher, she discovered there was water under it.  It had not run out on the floor, so we had no idea there was a leak.  I got a repairman scheduled and he checked it all out and gave us the estimate for replacing a couple large parts.  He was very hesitant to tell us the price and he offered suggestions.  We went to Lowes that afternoon and bought a new dishwasher instead of doing the expensive repairs.  It was delivered and installed yesterday.  I intend to use it for the first time this evening.

And I also scheduled a plumber to come fix one of the toilets that was flushing all wonky.  That is now fixed, too.

I've been working on washing windows, and doing some touch up painting, errands,  getting supplies for Thanksgiving, finishing the Christmas shopping, and working on the cards.  It seems like every time I cross something off the "To-Do" list, I also write something else on it. 😊

But life is still good.  Take care of yourselves.  Be gentle and be kind.  And God Bless America.
