Our river has dropped a whole lot since last weekend. That was fun,,, pontoon was about a foot away from being level with the bank... heck at least it wasnt above the bank, that would be pretty bad. Himself is healing slightly from his car accident week ago Thursday,,,, anyway,,, he was cleaning the gutters on the cabin and turned around to watch a very long really big tree trunk park itself under the tooner. Tried everything to get it out, 3 of them did. He had to untie the tooner drive it out into the middle of the river, put it in reverse and one of the guys used all he had to bounce it free with a paddle. After a small bit of time it freed itself and went away. The week before was our first party. It happened to be Halloween in June. Complete with peeps in costumes of many kinds. a haunted house and graveyard. A table stretch of about 60', no 50' of all kinds of wonderful foods. It was pretty funny. A most excellent time... It was 2 days before that the accident was,,, ugh, scarey phone call,,,hate em,,, but at the end of the day,,, while on the beginning trek to work in his big dually a woman screamed thru a stop sign and creamed the front end of the truck. Her passenger was hurt, how bad, we cant find out. I just been saying prayers its not bad. She got the ticket and all that stuff,,,, we did spend the day at the ER because by that Sunday he really couldn't walk very well, of course.... new computer system there had everything all screwed up. Finally got in after help from a volunteer, to be happily told no breaks, or anything related to, just bad muscle. Now if he would only quit using it. Lasdt Friday it was looking good! Then the tree thing,,, back to square 3 I am thinking.
During all of this,,,he had my truck, I got the rental car. Have mercy to go from a suburban to a car the size of a roller skate,,,,YUCK! They stuck me with a Sonic,,,cute little thing, (if anyone has one they own,,sorry but),,,, a total POS! I was never so glad last Saturday to give it back. About the only good thing I liked about it is the volume control is on the steering wheel. At's it. So after that in the flippin rain storm we went and looked at a Prius, a used one.... It was nice,,, 92 thou miles on it,,, then Himself started using his logic,, for every counter to his, he came up with a better and even more logical reason why I should get a brand new one. I hate when that happens. Needless to say,, I now drive a 2013 Prius two sedan. Roomy comfortable, can use the back seat, has all the space I need for my stocking up/ deer fetching what ever I need to do.
I also have my jams started, made cherry, strawberry and blackberry. Gardens are looking good and now that I have a feral cat living under the deck the bunnies are not eating everything they see. A nice thing. We are going to the cabin Wednesday evening, I will bring more fruits to make a different kind of jam,,, then pick some mulberrys (maybe depends on if they are done) and check the black raspberries snag some of them up... Try to go to the you pick farm and get some red raspberries or what ever suits my fancy,lol... Gotta fill time up somehow,,, 4 days is way to much time for me to sit and watch water, ugh I'll be nuts! Well ok Friday I will start to go nuts because Thursday is the 4th...;), probably put the camper back.... then do fireworks stuff...
Well I must say, have a wonderful 4th of July. Be safe and I hope it becomes the kind of day you like.
Gotta go and yank some weeds now, garbage day tomorrow and they'll take the yard stuff to...
yaaay :wink:
