The big basket of yarn is slowly emptying out as I finish more squares for Grammie Pammie. The work seems to settle me down a little and take my mind off of the recent events.
We had a great thunder shower last night. We so needed the rain. Unfortunately we didn’t need to lose power along with it. But as usual when this happens I thank my lucky stars that we had enough brains to buy a generator when we moved in. During the storm I sat working on squares and Jay was lost in the wonders of the internet. Another good thing about the outage was just before bedtime it helped Brandy and I spot the lightening bugs again.
This morning Jay and I went out to breakfast and by the time we got home the power was restored.
My visit to the Dr.‘s office yesterday was good. The polyp found and removed during the scope was non cancerous and I get to go through the same thing in another five years. ( I can hardly wait—not)! I will be adding a fiber drink to my routine however but that beats a sharp stick in the eye.
My Hummingbird(s) are still stopping by for a little snort but unfortunately it is when the camera is in the house and I’m not. I am going to get a picture of it/them and the Gold Finches some how.
The temperature is delightful today but I still haven’t found the heart to go out and weed.
I think I’ll try to find some pictures of Gene for the memorial this coming Sunday. Then maybe things will come back into line a little more.
Oh- Mary, I know this is a very sad time for you…but it’s good you are able to keep busy with the squares! (Very pretty work, too!)
Take Care,
Junie
Keeping busy with yarn is a good way to calm down.
The squares are looking beautiful. And I’m glad somebody else will be sewing them together!
Generator—heh heh.
Reminds me of an evening a few years ago, terrible awful thunderstorm on the prairie.
Trees down, power out.
A couple streets over, there was a box about 6feet across in an alley. Nobody ever bothered it, no markings on the sides.
After that storm, the neighbors learned the box held a generator, a very noisy machine, and smelled awful.
The guy who lived nearest the box put up with it for awhile, then went out and pried open the door, and turned it off. He had some mechanical skills.
Next day, there’s a report in the newspaper about how the cable went out in a major section of town—just as the Season Finale of ER was coming to its end.
It seems that generator was a booster for the cable company, and when it got turned off, broadcast operations also ceased.
Even though many citizens had power, their televisions were useless.
The neighbor guy got legal problems cited for breaking and entering, and tampering with private property.
His explanation was the box should have been clearly marked. He did not realize the generator was so important.
He got hate mail for weeks afterward, from folks who had missed the ending of the tv show.
