Well, we are the lucky ones here in PA! Sandy came and went without damage. We're getting the yard messes all cleaned up. I should say that HUSBAND is getting it done. All I have done is repair the wind chimes and whirlygigs and cover the porch glider and hang my pine cone wreath on the pillar post. A busy beaver has been chewing on the beachfront poplar tree so a wire deterrent is now placed around the trunk. If he gets it to fall, it will likely go one of two ways - across the road or into the lake. We can't have that!
This photo was taken last winter and shows the tree (far left).

The on/off switch on the outdated light fixture over the kitchen sink bit the dust. My live in Mr. Fix-it took it all apart and then had to run to town for a replacement. Needless to say, he is NOT an electrician by any means, and after my help getting the framework put back together, it blew the circuit breaker - 3 times! At least he knew to shut it off while working. It seems as if he had stretched a wire too tight and it "somehow" touched the metal surface. Ok! I'm rambling, but you get my point! Bless his heart - finally success. Now I can see to wash dishes - haha!
This photo shows how important that old fixture really is. I sure was hoping to not have to get a new fixture. Love the old stuff.
I have almost forgotten how to run my computer. No kidding! I was able to sort and upload most of my SC photos, though.
This shoulder gives me constant ache - like a dull toothache, but I can deal with it. My main concern is that my sciatica nerve on my right side keeps going into spasms - most likely due to shoulder injury or because my sacroiliac is out (again-lifelong problem). I go to chiropractor on Monday and hope he can relieve the nerve pressure. When I first get out of bed in the morning, I simply cannot bear weight on my right leg. It eases up after about 2 hours of collywobbling and I then function OK. Sorry you asked??? You didn't ask? Oops! Pity party over now.
Good to see a post from you. I hope you are feeling better soon.!
ReplyDeleteOh, I didn't see your post before I emailed you....so you already know how EXCITED I am that you are back home with your computer, my blogging email buddy!!! I have missed you so much. I know....you couldn't tell it because I didn't write you back....I did have good intentions. As a matter of fact, your letter is still by my lamp on my night stand. I think I will have it bronzed and leave it there permanently to remind me of how quickly time gets away when you intend to do something later. :) So sorry for being such a horrible pen pal....but I'm a great email buddy....so get those fingers back into action. I need to know when I misspell and what it is that I am taking pictures of! Hugs, hugs, and more hugs. :) huge smile. really glad you are back.
