A very normal stay-at-home-day.

The title says it all.......you may not desire to read any further! Coffee/breakfast on the patio....beautiful outdoor eating weather...breezy, 70's, and pleasant.

Mid-morning: A discussion with the contractor who is repairing my garage wall that was "raped" by my neighbor's car as it rolled...empty....through his fence, across my land AND, thru the wall and into my garage.......this all happened last December. The foundation was severely damaged, as well as the wall, the overall structure, the inside sheetrock ceiling, etc., etc., etc. Soooo, our contractor began repairing it this week. We discussed the progress being made, and then we went inside the brick/stick house and discussed his bids for a large remodeling job that we have decided to do. I told him he has the job........and now we play the waiting game again......he said it would be at least after the Holidays before he could begin the work. That will give us time to pick out flooring, carpeting, colors, and other design items.

Later in the morning: I completed mowing the yard....took a couple of hours. EXCITING!!!!! Hope you enjoy this mowing discussion.....hahhaa.

Afternoon: I made a chicken salad for dinner tonight. And then......did some reading inside. Way, Way tooo hot to sit on the patio. Another exciting discussion......right???

Dinner was eaten!

AND, then.....THE storm hit us about 8:15pm........tons of lightening, tons of rain, but no real wind to speak of. We even kept the electricity going throughout the storm........even tho I did unplug all appliances, computers, tv's, cable connections, etc., etc. AND....I found the flash light prior to THE BIG EVENT OF THE DAY!!!!

Ohhhhh, left out a phone call from Mr. Ass. Principal of Osage HS. We hadn't chatted for a few weeks and so there was lots to catch up on, and lots of griping about how terrible the government, including FEMA, had done in their "efforts" to protect and rescue our own Americans.

Now.......with the 1st Lady having just removed a pan of hot banana bread from the oven......I will close this uninteresting post and bore you no more tonight!!!!!!

Until tomorrow..........more excitement than today......I HOPE!!!
