Here it is another week and we will see what might break down this week. As some of you already know we have had to replace our air conditioner in the house, the air conditioner in the car, the hot water heater and now we have no air conditioning in the truck. Oh, yes, the car repair man took his "Car Stethoscope" and tells that we have a bearing going out in the car now.
Needless to say, I wish it were either time for winter or that we drove a horse and buggy!
On the brighter side, Kate and I made some flubber the other day. What fun--I hadn't made any of that since all of you grandchildren were small. Maybe in a few years Addy and Baby Rivers will be ready to try their hand at flubber!
Outside of this Grandpa is doing his rehab and doing o.k. Only has 7 more sessions before he is finished.
We both volunteered at the library one day and I volunteered at the Cosmo one day.
Family dinner was at the pasture last week and we checked out the rat "catchers" (traps)
while we were there. One more rat fell by the wayside! There seems to be a lot of those this year. Earlier one had carried away the little plastic hubcaps from the mowers.
We hope you all have a good week and nothing breaks down at your house.
Love to all, Grandma & Grandpa
P.S. Excuse the format-I did not get the pictures with the appropriate text. If anyone wants to send me directions I would love to hear from you.
Please oh please don't send the breakdown virus over to us:) I can vouch that the rat was big. It even made a big clunk when Grandma dropped it over the side of the deck for someone to pick up for dinner.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had quite the eventful week! Hopefully nothing else breaks for you.
ReplyDeleteAlthough the break down fairy has visited our house as well. We are borrowing Pam's car as ours is going in to the shop for a few days to replace a part. Plus we are out of a/c for a few days so we feel your pain :)Things can only get better, right?
I'm sure the next generation will have a great making Flubber at Great Grandma's house!
Praying for you tomorrow!
Agreed - flubber will be amazing!!! Now I kind of want to make some :)
ReplyDeleteI hope all the things in your house are fixed before winter, including Grandpa.
Love you both!!!
Ps - very impressed by the pics being in the blog - will work on sending along instructions as soon as I get a chance!
The pictures were great! We only had flooding at school today and no kids so hopefully that is the only break down this way.
ReplyDeleteI've been keeping updated through my mom. I am so glad to hear that Grandpa made it home this morning! Wish I could be there. You are in my heart and my prayers.
ReplyDeleteLet's see what I can add to the break down list. My apartment hasn't been so good with water. My faucet in the bathroom and the kitchen leaked significantly when I first moved in. The toilet is running now and my fridge is leaking water onto the floor. I guess that is what I get for choosing the cheaper option for an apartment. I have, however, made friends with our maintenance guy, Omar, so he usually takes care of me. The water in Georgetown is HARD. My sink looks like someone spilled paint in it, but it is just the water eating it away or reacting with it or something. Needless to say I have chosen to use a laundrymat with soft water as opposed to the washers in the apartment complex :-).
Here is to a few days of health, happiness, cool temperatures, and water where it should be :-).
Love you all!
Keep the breakdown bug...or maybe you will have passed it on while Grandpa was in the hospital this past week. :) It is a catching germ. I have many wonderful memories of all the fun crafts and activities we did at your house Grandma-we'll look forward to coming to visit for Baby Rivers to experience some too! I always tell people that my Grandma should have been an OT--she's got lots of creative ideas and had us doing OT-like activities all the time. :) Love you guys!
ReplyDeleteOh my - I just noticed that the thing Grandma is holding in the picture is a rat in a trap!!! Gross ;) Mary
