Nate Visits

Here is a picture of my new water line.  Exciting isn't it?

It is Sunday morning and Nate has arrived.  I know it isn’t as bad here as it was on the coast, but we are having heavy rain and lots of wind.  In fact, the wind knocked down one of my Bradford Pear trees.  There is about two foot of trunk left in the ground.  So sad.  We had just been talking about how pretty they were.  Jim and I bought and planted them as one of our first trees when we “moved” here.

The rest of the day I spent watching NASCAR.  I was surprised that my television was working with all the rain and wind.  Kevin came over and brought me a loaf of banana bread that Renea had baked. He also invited me for supper.  Renea made hillbilly lasagna – which is one of my favorites.  She also baked cheese/garlic biscuits.  Dinner was very good!  We had a really nice visit.  I was sorry that Ryan and Stephanie were not there, but due to the weather everyone decided it was best that they stayed home.  When I came back home I read for a while then went to bed.

It rained off and on during the night.  This morning we had a doozy of a storm with a lot of thunder and lightning.  That has since gone through, but it is still raining.  Just a gloomy kind of day, so I am doing laundry.

Good Thursday morning.  I am not going to detail everything I have done the past couple of days because it would be extremely boring.  Summer is back and we are setting record temperatures which means nothing is getting done outside.  So, I have been working on Christmas stuff.  Yesterday I did go to the doctor to get the results of my bloodwork and everything is fine.  This morning I went outside and filled the birdfeeders, and I noticed that my azaleas are blooming (even the one I thought was dead).  Not sure what I am going to do today.
