NO FIREWORKS JUST LOVE

Sorry I haven’t been on here for a while. Computer problems. I set up our 15 foot round pool the other day. Never could afford to pour the pad out back so I set it on my driveway. This kind of sucks when trying to park everyone, but the pool is sure worth it.
This kind of pool requires a perfectly flat surface, which my driveway isn’t. So far so good but I think it is “crawling to one side of the driveway. If it gets over far enough, good bye water! The pool will just collapse. We will all enjoy it till that time if it ever comes. It is virtually impossible to get a pool like this to be level. I love to play with the kids and grandkids in the water. I also like to just be alone with my thoughts sometimes too.

It’s the Fourth of July weekend. We went up to my sister-in-law Nancy’s house on Saturday. She and Norma went to Kroger’s. This was the first time that Nancy has been to the store for herself in about a year. She said she enjoyed it a lot, although it really wore her out. I wish she would get the hip replacement(s) so she could walk without a walker again.

On Sunday I stayed after church to work on some scenery for our bible school which starts on the 16th. Then when I got home I found Chris, Cindy, Isaac and Sophie there. Chris and Cindy had just put a coat of polyurethane on their floors and they were going to spend the night with us. This was just fine with us, as they usually bring all the food with them and there is always enough for us too!

On Monday I took an annual day to make it a four day weekend. Chris and I decided to install a fan in Micki’s bedroom. We had to get in the attic and run the wiring and secure the box for the fan. Man was it hot; this took about 45 minutes or so. When we turned on the switch, nothing happened! After fooling with the wiring in the wall switch and the outlet that this switch controlled, for about another hour, we finally decided to go back in the attic and run the wiring different. By this time the heat it the attic was somewhere around hotter than heck! I was not perspiring, I was pouring the sweat, and getting light headed from the heat. I finally got the wire hooked into the junction box and climbed out of there. I was soaked from head to toe. I bet I haven’t sweated that much water in the last ten years combined. I then drank about a gallon of water and felt much better.

On the Fourth we went shopping with Chris and Cindy and the kids. Got home around four and rested up some. Then Johnny and Micki and Noah got home from the mountains. I asked where Maddie was and Micki said she had decided to stay the rest of the week with some of their kin. I hope she has a lot of fun with them; I am sure she will with two kids around her age to play with. Johnny and Micki walked through the bedroom several times before thy even noticed the fan. Oh about the floors that Chris and Cindy were doing, we went over there today and they were really beautiful. This is another improvement that may help them finally sell the house and get to move to the Parkersburg area.

This is the second Fourth of July that I haven’t seen any live fireworks. I thought about going to Charleston but glad I didn’t because they were rained out anyway. Believe you me I still had a wonderful weekend just spending time with my family. Hope you had a wonderful one too.
