Another Short Week

This week totally got away from me mainly because of the weather. On Sunday we had severe storms and our daughter lost one tree and they had a long power outage. Two days later, a tornado went through their small town AND they had 8 inches of rain in just a little over an hour. Thankfully our daughter and granddaughter was at the dance studio when this all happened. But while they were there, their neighbor sent her pictures of 2 MORE trees down at their house and told her the power was out. They waited at the studio, our son-in-law went home after work and thankfully checked the sump pumps. He bailed water until she got home and I finally had the thought that we should take the generator up to them. . .it is nearly a 2-hour drive to get there, but we got there and got the generator set up and that took care of the sump pumps as well as their refrigerator and freezer!!! I'm so thankful that we did that because the power didn't come on for several more hours!!! When we got ready to come home the next day, they were so fortunate!!! First of all, I'm thankful that they weren't home when it happened and I'm thankful that they weren't driving in that. I'm thankful that their house wasn't damaged and I'm thankful that they were able to bail the water from the sump pumps. I'm thankful that we took the generator up there. The next day their insurance agent called them to check on them. He said that most of his customers in that town had some sort of damage and he told them they were so fortunate. Driving around we saw a historic home with a huge tree through it. So many tree limbs down, so many sump pumps pumping water into the street. And to think they were hit twice in a matter of 4 days. . .crazy weather. And now, the temperatures are close to 100-degrees!!!

Needless to say, I've not gotten much accomplished this week. . .and scrapbooking took a hit too, but here is what I have to offer up this week. . . Created using Created using Told you it was short!!! And, with that I am outta here. . .until next week. . .

Jolly July

For a year that seems to just creep by on certain days, this year seems to be flying by!!! Hard to believe it is July already, but then again, seems like we have missed out on a lot of stuff this year!!! I am hoping next year is better but at this point, I actually have my doubts. . .

I have managed to do a little scrapping while cleaning so here goes. . . Created using Created using Created using Created using Created using Created using Created using Created using Created using Created using Created using WOW, I sure do scrap a lot when it is super hot outside!!! So that's a wrap for this week. Here's hoping you have a safe and happy 4th of July. . .there won't be fireworks here, but there will be memories!!! Until next time. . .

Bracing For Weather. . .

The forecast is calling for a "few storms" later today but my foot is telling me otherwise!!! Since I broke it last year it is a good indicator of stormy weather!!! Yesterday was a super productive day, so I don't have a lot on my to do list for today so today is a "freebie". . .I can relax and do what I want!!! Our granddaughter is studying for a music theory exam (she is 10) and occasionally she will need to ask a question and I'm her "go to" for music questions. So, I got the theory workbook that she is using and my goodness, she is WAY beyond me!!! Last year her teacher had her take the exam just so she could get used to it. . .it is a proctored timed test. She was 9 at the time and by far the youngest in the group. . .I think the next youngest was going into high school. Her teacher just wanted to expose her to it and said there was no expectation that she would pass, he just wanted her to have the experience. . .when they got her exam score back, not only had she passed the exam, but she had the highest score!!! Higher than the high school kids!!!

I've been doing a little scrapping lately, but have spent more time working on those Christmas projects and I can't share those with you so here are the things I can share. . .

Mid June Already?

This summer just seems to be slipping by. . .the days though run together horribly for me. During the lockdown I try to keep busy and lately that means doing some serious deep cleaning!!! Yesterday it was the kitchen. . .and it occurred to me that I am shrinking!!! Someone should have warned me the older I get the shorter I get!!! And, climbing is much harder than it used to be but I'm pretty resourceful and figured out a way. It worked great until my kitty decided to fall asleep on the step stool that I used to get up on the chair. . .it is always something when I try to do something!!!

Anyway, it is super hot here and I try to stay cool with a bit of scrapping so here goes. . . Created using Created using Created using Created using And, with that I am outta here to get a start on the weekend!!! Until next time. . .
