Weekend happenings

DH decided to drive back to the city and see his brother last night. He, his wife, and daughter are doing as well as can be expected. DH's sis and her husband are on their way over here, today.

DH called up the electrician that was recommended and he met us out at our property late this morning. Seems like a nice decent guy and sounds like he would like to finish the job. DH is pretty sure the first electrician had bought all the parts needed, so most likely still has them in his van. This guy said DH is most likely right. So, I guess DH will have to contact the widow and see what can be done about seeing if we can get the parts we've already paid him for. DH is just going to wait another week, until after the service for him.

After electrician guy left we just went over to the shady corner of our patio and sat and had the lunch we brought with us. Even though it's hot out, there was a nice breeze in the shade, so it wasn't too bad. Our neighbor walked over with a couple of yummy brownies she had just made and we visited with her awhile.  Their barking dog problem we had every time we would go out there? All fixed. The dogs are so used to us now, they don't care or bark. Whew! We love their dogs, so are glad it won't be a problem.

Came home and took an hour nap, while DH messaged with his sister. Then after I got up, DH decided to nap. I ran to the store to pick up some lettuce and milk and get our mail. On the way home, passed a guy riding his horse down the main street through town :) This is such a cute little town.

Next week is supposed to see the siding finished up (did I tell you we have windows in now?) as well as Thursday the sheetrock will get started taped and mudded. 

Here is a recent pic DH took of the river, above our property, with his drone. It's coming down and clearing up. Much prettier than the spring mud it looked like.

I truly love living here and am so blessed.

  1. That is a beautiful sky.

    Do not be surprised if electricians van is plundered by relatives who think he will not be needing stuff in the van. It happened to my friend when her husband died and his brothers just took stuff. Waiting until too late by being polite might mean the stuff is gone. Hope not.

  3. I'm not sure if it is an age thing or what, but lately I'm feeling all this death stuff getting to me more and more. Older folks I can understand, but the younger ones, not so much.

    Absolutely stunning picture! Where is your property...right or left of the picture? Hubs and I could definitely see ourselves living in an area like yours. Trees, trees and more trees!

    1. We've had two young ones die in less than 2 months. It's tough. We are on the left side of this picture
