GREAT TIME WITH COMPANY

MONDAY:
Wow!  It's cool!  Get out the sweatshirts!  This is not nice!  Temps are dropping to fast for my liking.  Slow day, very tired from the weekend.  I finished the washing and took a nap!  After supper, I worked on the computer-I had at least 100 e-mails to go thru. 
TUESDAY:
This morning I typed the minutes of our camp out meeting.  My notes were not the best so I needed to get it done before my memory failed me.  It wasn't the most formal meeting as "motions" were forgotten and discussions abounded.  I probably have lots of unnecessary notes. Oh well. 


 After lunch, I went to Michael's to shop for the supplies to make a couple wine bottle lights to donate for the Brown Bag auction at our Region 1 Rally. There was a couple bottles shoved back under the deck that I found.  Bob & Betsy drilled the hole to insert the lights, using a new bit.  It's the one he bought to drill thru the tile in bathroom.  Now this hole is as big as a 50 cent piece which should make putting the electric lights in much easier.  Michael's didn't have everything so I had to go to Jo Ann's Fabric and Dollar Tree.  I still didn't find any purple beads to make purple grapes on the bottles.  So I'm disappointed. 
We just came home from a neighborhood backyard meeting in regards to the planned development in the back field.  Maybe 30-40 people there, not a good representation of the families that live here.
The next Public Meeting at Town Hall is the 20th of September and we wanted to discuss our options.
WEDNESDAY:
I'm working on the computer and Bob yells at me  from upstairs-"I can't find my phone, would you call me?"  Okay.  I called and he came downstairs.  "Would you call me again?"  Okay.  He goes in the downstairs bath.  "It's ringing in the toilet!"   Now I can't stand it and I get up to go look.  Sure enough it sounds like it's ringing in the toilet.  I get a little sarcastic, and I joked; good thing it's water proof!  You couldn't see it in the toilet, so I looked behind and all around.  Then I saw a tiny black corner of something under the sink cabinet.  I reached down and sure enough-it was his phone.   It must have dropped in one of his mad rush excursions to use the john.  He is very hard on phones, this is his third in two years. 
We finally decided to drive over to Frost Ridge (Le Roy) to look at our "over flow" site for the music camp out that we were invited to in Sept.   After being satisfied that Bob could balance the coach on the site; the attendant took us for a tour of the land.
On the way home we stopped at Le Roy Motors to look for a different vehicle.  I had my thoughts set on the same car as our friends, the Pitt's.  (Buick-Enclav)  It tows with out alot of "steps to do".  I wanted to see if I could get in and out easily. Well, guess what...that car is too high and no running boards. So that won't do.  A used GMA Envoy was pointed out but it "stunk" like doggie poopie!  No way!   So on the way home I'm looking around, there's hardly a car on the road with running boards.  Where have I been?  Guess this will go on the back burner till we do some research. 

Bob is drying the carpets which are out of the coach.  It was a wet weekend and alot of "gravel" was tracked in so he shampooed them all. 
After supper, I began work on a brochure for the schedule @ the rally.  I think I can do it!  Actually, Bob volunteered to try it and then he disowns having said it.  He doesn't remember saying that...well.   I had most of the typing in it when Betsy came along and took over.  She added graphic features, colored font, and the HR Logo.  That was a big improvement.  Then we printed it-the type moved and the front borders cut out some graphics.  Too tired at that point to fix it, we quit until another time, I have a month to work on it.
THURSDAY:
Bob has a Dr's appointment in Lockport today.  As he went to shower he discovered there wasn't any hot water.  Oh, brother!  Apparently, the draft in the mud room blew the pilot light out.  That's not good.
Bob lit the pilot and we hung around in our pj's until it heated back up.
I sent Sarah an e-mail to get her car packed and head home before Irene is on her doorstep.
In Lockport, Bob dropped me off to visit with Annalynn while he went to the doctors.  Rocco has his outdoor kitchen finished and it looks beautiful. 


IT LOOKS BEAUTIFUL ROCCO.  (Multi talented)

Back home, I made a chocolate cake with cheese cake filling for company coming this weekend.
FRIDAY:


I made a a quick trip to the grocery store and into Michael's.  Grub & crafts for company.  Then I did a quick dusting job of the house.  Bob's youngest sister, Marj,  and hubby, Rick,  arrived about 3:30pm, from Ohio.  After supper, with Betsy's help,  we made illuminated wine bottles.  Then did nails, girly stuff!


HOLDING THE BEADS.

RICK IS HOLDING BEADS UNTILTHEY DRY.



ALL FINISHED.

 SATURDAY:
We visited from breakfast until lunch.  We watched the Irene updates.  After lunch we decided to go thru Mom & Dad Rindo's slides in search of Marj & Rick's wedding photos.  They will be celebrating 38 years on Thursday and no wedding photos.  So the half dozen cartons were pulled out of storage and it was a good exercise in cleaning house.  We all agreed to dump the photos we couldn't identify.  We worked in the garage (the refrigerator as our screen) and it soon become too hot!  


SARAH ARRIVED!

WE ALL HELPED TO UNLOAD HER CAR.

Then we went swimming, had wine and cheese and crackers.  I soon became lazy and we all agreed on going out to eat.  So that we did.  Dinner at the casino and a few games and $20.00 bucks was gone so we headed home for dessert.
SUNDAY:
We headed for the porch for coffee and found a big temperature change..no swimming today.  Chilly!

So back to the garage to go thru more slides. 

ALEX

Donna called, they had just sent Alex off at the Rochester airport to Chicago-Wright-Patterson A.F. Base in Dayton for his physical. They would stop to say hello.  We had just found the wedding photos when they arrived.  (Yeah!)  A few more trays of slides and then we all had lunch.  Some photos were dark, so Bob e-mailed them to David and he will put them in his program to see if he can improve the image.  David, Donna, Marj & Rick left about 3:15pm. 
Now to finish the Blog and add photos.
Wishing you all a good week.  Thanks for clicking in.  I'm glad all the realitives in south FL., Baltimore area, and NC are safe!
