Lot of people getting sick in our region. Sounds like several schools are shutting down because so many teachers and students are ill. We have several people in our circle that our sick now with H1N1. Really hoping we don’t get it. Last year the flu experience was nottttttt fun. Several months of being sick on and off.
We did get our flu shot. However, the H1N1 shots are not available yet - and you have to wait 1 month between shots. Uncertain on the actual vaccine. Sounds like a lot of people don’t trust the shot. Unsure what we will do. Not sure if you can get the H1N1 more than once, either. Guess I will google that subject.
Well, it has been a little while since I posted some photos. Errr few days :) Dione said I should post something. So, here goes!
Looks like the wood floors are almost finished on the first floor of the house. Next up with be the second floor. Looks like it is taking around six days for each floor. Next two floors might actually go faster. Unsure. We will see how it goes!
The lights are going up on the outside of the house. The ceiling is almost finished on the third floor - family room. Fans are up. Tile work is almost finished in the bathrooms - sunroom. Moving along nicely.
The weather has been nice. Beautiful today. Low temperatures this morning were in the 40s. :) Not bad!
Had a great dinner with Jason and Jess tonight. Outback - lots of food! Did not leave hungry.
Dylan had a birthday on Monday. So, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DYLAN. Hope you had a good one.
Tony and Deena have moved into their new house - northern Graves County. About 20 minutes away. They just started moving in - so it will take a little while to unpack.
Been working on the budget today - trying to learn how to use Quicken. Slowly getting there. At least I have the budget written out. That is a good start.
Some photos from the last few days - all photos here
Well daddy on the news at noon today - 6 pm - and 10 pm. Top story! I think he did quite well with the interview. AND it was his birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY
Unfortunately, the news story was not about his birthday.
We made it home! We had such a wonderful time at Drew and Kristy’s wedding in Jacksonville, Florida. It was a quick trip, though.
The wedding was beautiful - on the beach! Then after the wedding we went to one of their friends homes. Beautiful house on the river. The house was 101 years old.
Looks like a wet week ahead - on and off rain. Then cooler towards next weekend or the beginning of the new work week. The cold air is slower to move in than expected. Looks like a more active pattern is trying to emerge. These cut off lows, though, are causing a lot of flooding in some areas.
Well, after a few rain delays we made it to Jacksonville, Florida last night around 6 pm. Not bad. The airport wasn’t toooooo bad. :) Could have been worse. We made it safely, so that is all that matters.
Had a great time last night with Drew and Kristy - his parents - Kristy’s parents - and Richard and Becky. I have never met Kristy’s mom, but she seems just like her!
The wedding is this afternoon. We are going to the mall for a couple of hours this morning and then Kristy is coming here to the hotel to get ready for the wedding.
I think we get to meet their new pug this afternoon, as well. Mack or Mac? That is the puppys name. I am sure Lucy will be happy to see us, as well. It has been awhile since we saw Lucy.
Left my card reader at home - so can’t upload photos. Will have to do that once I get back home.
Well, it has been a few days since I updated the blog. :) On Thursday and Friday the solar hot water tank was installed. Solar panels were placed on the roof of the garage. The other solar panels will have to wait a few weeks (some of the parts didn’t arrive). The solar project was David’s idea and mine - mixture of ideas. :) It is a good start - perhaps we can add to it in the future.
We celebrated birthdays on Sunday. Danielle’s birthday - Dylan’s birthday - daddy’s birthday! We had dinner at Dione’s house and then went up to the farm to show the kids the house. After that we went to Marvin’s Marvelous Corn Maze (right down the road from our house up in Massac County).
I think everyone had a great time. I had to work through the maze so Deena and Joey wouldn’t get lost. I tried to make sure they saw every dead end possible. Maybe more than once. :) Anyhoo - we survived. Well Joey and I survived. I am not sure if Deena ever made it out. We may have to send out a search team for her.
The rest of the family went in different directions - once they were in the maze. I think they all made it out!
Welcome to my journal. I call it a journal because I started this before "blogs" existed. Within this site you will find pages and pages and pages of my journey over the last 10 years. An incredible story of triumph, sadness, happiness, and intense battles. I run several web-sites. Most of them dealing with weather and photography - my passion. You can visit the sites through the links below. If you would like to know more about me then please visit my biography page by clicking Here.
