....Continuing On

I got things a little out of order when writing my blog.  Back to my electric problem.  Danny, the electrician, called me back.  I explained my problem and he said he would send someone over shortly.  Apparently, he is part owner of the electric company.  Mike arrived about an hour later and went directly to the main electric pole.  He informed me that my problem was the main circuit breaker for the house.  It just so happened that one of the two legs was “fried” as he put it.  He said this happens quite often here because of the weather.  It ages these breakers very quickly.  He replaced it and everything is working fine.  Brian was right!

Now that the electric is fixed the temperatures are going to be in the 70’s in the foreseeable future with lows in the 50’s.  Go figure.

Saturday was a pretty miserable day.  It had rained in the morning and was cloudy the rest of the day.  I didn’t get much accomplished except for a couple loads of laundry. It was a hurting kind of day.  I did get to Mass at St. Patrick’s, and after Mass Father asked about Jana and said to tell her hello.  I am amazed that he remembers us since we are so new to the parish.  On the way home I stopped at Subway and bought a BLT for supper.  Sure tasted good.  I planned to watch the CLASH NASCAR race, but it was postponed due to rain.  So, I read for a while and then went to bed.

Sunday morning was really foggy, but gave way to beautiful sunshine.   We are celebrating Renea’s 50^th birthday today.  Her birthday is actually Wednesday.  Brian’s is on Tuesday.  I understand that there is going to be quite a crowd at K & R’s today.  Should be fun.  I know there will be a lot of good food!

Had a great time celebrating Renea’s birthday.  And, yes, there was plenty of food.  Fried chicken, bar-b-qued chicken, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, cole slaw, green beans and rolls.  For dessert we had red velvet cake, orange cream cycle cake and ice cream. 

Monday I spent most of the morning in the backyard with Kevin while he was planting strawberries and asparagus.  I took some pictures so I can update the karsakerfarm blog.  I also filled my birdfeeders.  Renea’s dad, Dillard, spent the morning with us also.  Kevin tilled up an area by his camper and they planted rosebushes.  He also plans to plant some other flowers.  I just don’t know what kind.

After lunch I drove over to Barnes and Nobles.  A couple of the books I have been waiting for were ready to be picked up, and I had a thirty percent off coupon.  The coupon expired today so I knew I had to get over there.

Tuesday I did my laundry and spent most of the day embroidering one of my placemats.  It may be next spring before I can use them.  It is slow going.  It started raining in the afternoon, and continued to rain all night.  Didn’t get outside at all.  It was Wednesday morning before I was able to walk to the mailbox and get my mail.  And, that was between showers.  We haven’t had any severe weather, just a lot of rain.  It has been raining off and on all day today, so I am doing mostly inside work.  Still working on embroidering the placemats.

Also, I bought a six drawer closet organizer.  I knew it had to be put together.  However, it took me all morning.  I would get one piece in place and another would come apart.  I finally succeeded though.  It is not going in my closet.  My closet isn’t big enough.  That is why I bought this.  It is next to my bed in my bedroom.  I need the storage space.  My problem is room.

After putting this together I worked on my embroidery.
