Monday 08.05.2013

The radio came on this morning ... *sigh* ...  I called the unit to see if maybe it would be my turn to be on call. Nope, it was my turn to work.  I got up and got ready to go.

I was just finishing dressing when the phone rang. Mistake--it IS my turn!  I put my jammas back on and went back to bed.

I finished the other 2 loads of laundry, cleaned and refilled the hummingbird feeder, vacuumed, and finished unpacking. Made food and ate. Frank stopped by for a visit, too.

Tomorrow, I work.

Sunday 08.04.2013 Home

So I get to Rose City, and BAM my phone starts making noises like receiving text messages or something. And it was.

It was on, it stayed on, and received 13 messages, and a voice mail.

I thought that the Google Voice had taken over.

At the red light, I called voicemail on the phone. Transferred to Google voice. Hm.

So I'm thinking that I won't be receiving phone calls until I can discontinue the call forwarding.

And much to my surprise, the phone rang.

And I could answer it.

Ooookaaaayyyy.......

I don't get it, but my phone is working, and that makes me much happier.

Made it to the Reunion, and had a nice time, visiting with family I only see once a year.

And made it Home without incident. Thank you God.

Unloaded, coolers unpacked, laundry started, and went for a few groceries.

Two loads done, a third in the washer.

Ready for bed.

Work day tomorrow.

Thank you for reading. Hugs.

Another Crazy Weather day!

Though no rain here. The dark clouds gathered, and it rained somewhere.

Cooler--maybe low 70's with the sun--with a gusty wind that pushed up the whitecaps on the lake. It got pretty rough out there, so much so that the boaters finally got off the lake in the afternoon.

The clouds moved in and it got cool. Jackets on, sitting on the lee side of the buildings, trying to find somewhere to enjoy being outdoors.

Jim finally finished scraping the cottage--YAY JIM!!--and I finished priming the front peak (YAY ME!!). He primed the back peak, which wasn't so much bare wood. Big job. Next for the top coat...

I spent the remainder of the afternoon/evening trying to get the Google Voice set up. My phone is constantly rebooting (Droid X) but I was able to get the "code call" made to transfer the phone to the Google number. I'm not sure it's real reliable yet; but I do see the calls, voice mails, and text messages now on the computer. And I was able to make calls, too, with the computer. I haven't figured out how to make the "pop up"  actually pop up when a call comes in, so I miss the call and have to watch the Inbox. And I don't know how I actually sent a text.  Geesh...  Hoping to get the phone resolved sooner than later in the week.

Tomorrow I go back home, with a stop at our family's reunion. Tonight I got the majority of things collected and packed, and the refrigerator cleaned.

Hope to sleep--got a lot to do in the morning.

Thank you for reading. Hugs.

Another day of sun and rain and sun and rain and clouds and a nice evening.

Jim made good progress today, finishing the scraping of the peak on the front of the cottage. I made fair progress, as the wet wood can't be painted until it's dry. I did get the majority of the front of the fascia and the soffits done, as well as about a foot onto the front of the peak itself. I hope to be able to finish that front peak tomorrow.

Along with packing up, cleaning the trailer, and getting ready to leave on Sunday morning. And the Property Owners meeting is at 10:00--I like going, to keep updated on our Lake.

I was able to visit with Evelyn and Bob this evening. We had a good time laughing. I miss being neighbors with them--they miss me, too.

Hug 'em while you got 'em.

Thank you for reading. {{squeeze}}

Thursday 08.01.2013

Turned out to be a beautiful day today!!

I slept really well this morning, was surprised that it was 0900...!!

Went out for a run, and Jeremy and Jenny were packing to leave. I spent some time with Matilda before they left, maybe about 1?? or 2???  She's so sweet, even with her ears hurting.

Jim resumed scraping the cottage, and Polly and I went into Hale. When we got back, I started with the paint brush again. And I'm happy to say I caught up to Jim. Well, kind of. He's working on the front peak, and I finished the bottom, including the eaves.

Tomorrow I'll go up on the roof, too, and see if I'll be able to work up there. Not sure--never worked or painted up higher like that. Probably be ok.

Polly and I sat out on the porch and watched it get dark. It was a quiet evening, with the wind calming and temperature in the 60's. Ahh, summer.

Thank you for reading.  Hugs.
