The Wedding

Today was spent as a lazy morning and then it was time for David and Twila’s big day!  Yep the wedding.  Can you believe i forgot my camera but hopefully i can get a few pictures to post. 
It was a beautiful service and I was blessed to be able to be here to witness the joining of 2 beautiful people.  Congrats David and Twila.

After the wedding we stopped at Wal-mart to purchase a few needed supplies for the week.  Wow .. we got off with only a $37 purchase! 

It’s been one very hot day .. temps rose to 89 degrees!  Ughh with no living room AC it was not good.  The temperature in the living room was 84 degrees!  The upstairs was nice and cool .. yep hubby went up and took him a nap while i went and sat outside with the ladies.  I almost have the quilt top embroidered. 
The wind started to pick up, the temperature started dropping and it was after 8 pm so it was time to retire inside.  It wasn’t long and i was in my comfy clothes and around 10.30 i was headed to bed.

where have i been?

Friday … I called this morning and argued with our insurance about covering our AC from the brown out. They are claiming that electrical may be excluded from our coverage and i reminded them that i was never informed this and that i am not willing to take this lightly. It seems we will be looking for a new insurance company in the near future.

Hubby decided regardless we need our AC looked out and so a repairman came out this afternoon and checked our unit out and sure enough it’s the compressor. He gave me a statement in writing that he is sure it was the brown out because everything else seems to be in good working order. He is going to price a new compressor and price a new unit to see which is our best option. Regardless it has to be fixed and i will fight it out later with our insurance and what ever action i may need to take.

The temps have been in the high 80’s and so by afternoon our living room is warmer then the rest of camper. Our bedroom AC just isn’t big enough to cool our entire home. The repairman did disconnect the wire so that we can circulate the air with the fan part if we need too.

I spent a few hours sitting outside this evening enjoying another great night.

For now i will not be saying who our insurance company is .. I will wait to pass judgment until we see what they do. I am going to be making phone calls on Monday to inquire with other carriers.

Hope you all have a great weekend .. we have a wedding to attend tomorrow.

Thursday … I slept in again today and i had just gotten dressed when one of the ladies came to remind me it was devotional day. Yes, I forgot! So i hurried to get ready and went over. Devotions got a late start so they had a late ending and then it was time to get lunch. After lunch I spent my afternoon being lazy as i was still wore out from the day before. I spent my evening outside enjoying the wonderful evenings we’ve been having.

Wednesday … I slept in and then i picked up and did a couple loads of laundry. After lunch i went over and painted the boards on the carports. All the volunteers have been moved from the carports to the cottages to help finish up and get the homes livable again.

I worked all afternoon painting and then after dinner i sat outside and visited for a little bit and then it was time to hit the shower and bed.

My Baby is Officially Engaged!

I received good news last week ..Our youngest son is officially engaged!

From what i hear the pictures don’t do it justice. It has a big diamond in the middle and 2 smaller diamonds on the sides. I’m excited to see it and I’m so happy for them.

This afternoon while we were gone we had a brown out and it got our air conditioner in the living room. I have to call and report the claim to our insurance tomorrow so they get someone out.

working on taxes

I got up late this morning and cleaned up the kitchen and the rest of the day was spent on sorting receipts by each month to get everything ready to do the taxes.

It’s a dreaded task but i neglected to keep track this past year and now i have it to do all at once. I am planning to get it all done this week.

I spent my evening sitting outside relaxing and chatting. A needed break away from tax stuff

tired day

I slept in as i was exhausted. It’s been a busy for weeks and we skipped church today. I went over and helped with lunch and dinner that is being served in the dining hall. Since a couple of the cottages have no water or cooking appliances meals are all being served in the dinning hall.

After dinner several of us ladies sat outside and visited and the it was time to retire and get ready for bed.

It’s been another exhausting day and my MS is flaring up .. it’s telling me .. hey i still exist … i’m getting ready to head to bed .. night all

It’s Saturday

We slept in this morning and it felt so good. It took us awhile to get moving and then we headed to town to do some shopping. Hubby was in a spending mood .. ughh we went to Sears and they had the cordless drill and impact drill he’s been wanting on sale .. yes he got it for $100 .. much less then regular price. He also needed a new air hose as his gave out and living on wheels that is something we need to carry with us for that just in case thing. Grocery shopping and Wal-mart were on the list and we ate lunch at the Chinese place.

We returned around 2 pm and the rummage sale was still going on so i went over visited with the gals while they finished up.

Here is the new basketball court .. one thing that has been finished

The extrememe make over didn’t get finished. It was just too much of a bigger project then they thought and so last night there was some very long faces leaving. There is much work yet to be done.

I captured this picture of the moon. This picture didn’t do it justice. It was beautiful to see the orange moon through the trees.

2nd Day of Rummage Sale

I got up early again today and was over to the Rock House by 8 am for the 2nd day of the rummage sale.

The carports are looking better each day.

The 2nd carport is beginning to look like the first one

The ceilings are in, the siding is finished on the outside .. the bottom photo’s of are the 1st carport.

I came home after another exhausting day. So far we have sold about $1100 worth of stuff in 2 days for the home. Tomorrow is the last day but i’m not sure i’m working. My MS has me exhausted. I am not sure how the make over is going as i haven’t seen either of the homes yet. No one has, tomorrow is the big unveiling.

I came home and made baked potatoes and bbq meat. Yep a easy dinner .. one that i could just throw everything in the oven and let it cook. The rest of my night was spent curled up on the couch resting!!!
