Saturday, The Day After The Big Storm...


No post for yesterday because the power kept flickering. Figured there was no reason to even try to use it. Was an interesting day all in all. Thought there was enough water in the pool for it to hold up against high winds. Guess, I was wrong since it is now folded in half in the middle of the backyard. Told Ricky if it just needs new metal poles then I can order those. It the liner is gone then we might just get a new one in the spring. Poor Mr. V has been on conference calls and his work computer until 10 PM last night and was back on it this morning at 7 AM. He is trying to get all his cell sites back on the air. Has guys running around with generators and doing whatever he can to get all them back on the air. Poor guy, think he is getting frustrated. While home his office is our bedroom, so I left my nice warm bed before I really wanted to today. Oh, and for added fun last night around 2 AM our neighbors patio caught on fire. Not sure yet what happen there, but, most of it was out before the fire department got here (which may I say, they got here very fast). I will have to have a chat with Mrs. Neighbor to see what happen. We had already woken up because of the sounds it was making, Mrs. Neighbor came over ringing our doorbell to make sure we up and then she ran back home.

On a lighter note, Renee got to go see Walking With Dinosaurs. Said it is the greatest thing ever to go and watch. Wish I had planned better so I could have taken the Rebecca and Ricky to see this. I am sure it will be back this way again next year.

I will close with a review of the book from my last post. I really enjoyed it. The critters were all fairly simple and the instructions seem to really clear. Now all I need to do is sit down and try one of them out. Oh, and there is even tips in each project to help you out even more.

I suppose I should hit the shower, and then off to the grocery store before the rain comes again. No major winds this time, just colder and more rain (snow if you live in the mountains)......
