Home again

After two wonderful weeks in CA with son and his family, I came home on Wednesday. Flights were smooth and I slept most of the way back, knowing what I had to do when I arrived. After dinner out with Wanda and a trip to the grocery store, I spent the evening going through and taking care of ALL the first class mail that Peggy had sorted for me. Paid all the bills and then went to bed, exhausted. Since then, I have gotten back on the ususal schedule of volunteering, etc. and did work on Thursday to try to catch up my boss after my absence. Stayed until mid afternoon and took the rest of the work home. Got it all out in the mail on Friday AM.

There have been workmen in the area working on the sewers in our town. What a mess the streets near me are and the digging creates some unusual traffic patterns for me. I have to go three blocks west, two blocks north, then back the three blocks plus three more to get to the PO and bank. With gas as high as it is, I wish I could just walk, but that is even more trecherous with the deep trenches that have been dug for curbs and gutters. Hopefully, the job will be done soon in my vicinity, but the whole projsct is supposed to be completed by Nov. 1. Yeah!!!

I called the roofer tonight. He is working on one roof now, there is one leaking that is next, then comes my roof. Please pray for a long dry spell so that they can get this job done. I have been waiting since November for this!!! (I waited 9 months for each of the children, so this is lots shorter.)

Weather here is nice and warm, but there must have been quite a big blow in my absence. A tree in the back corner (near the lilacs and rhubarb) was toppled over to about a 45 degree angle. My neighbor and a friend of his have been working all weekend to get it down, so that the phone lines would not get disturbed. Only the main trunk remains to be sawed apart. The smaller branches are out at the curb in front of my neighbor's home. Such excitement!

Have caught up on sleep since coming home, so I can get back to work tomorrow.

Good night, all.

Sunny California

The weather was quite nice in Wisconsin this spring, except for the abundant rain. Here I am now in sunny California visiting Paul, Nicki and Kate. Weather here is ideal for just basking, walking, doing little or nothing and enjoying every minute of it. Lots to do with an inquisitive 18 month old little girl around. She is such a sweetheart!!! Very cuddly and affectionate. I will hate to leave when the time comes, but I know that there is much to do when I return home.
Peggy has written that I should blog. What's with you, Peggy? Your last on was on the big birthday. Get with it, kiddo.
Now as far as Mary goes, she must be making up for her absent office worker. Did she mail out those cards that were ready for June 1st? No blogs from her since State Track Meet. Hey, Mare, do it.
Know that I am having a wonderful visit with your brother and family. Take care and see you soon again.
