Rain, Rain, go away.....

Well the contractor came this weekend and we have the  of work to be done finalized.  Don't have a time-line of when they will be getting started.  Of course the weather is acting up again and a hail threat has been forecast.  If it is going to hail again I'd rather it happen BEFORE we get the new roof.

What do you think about the new CDC guidelines?  I'm not sure they mean much.  If you've been vaccinated you can remove masks in most instances.  How the heck do you know who has been vaccinated and who hasn't.  It's easier to tell with mask requirements in place.  You can bet those without masks haven't and aren't planning to be vaccinated.  Now you will have no idea at all.  Our city has a mask mandate until June 1st.  I figure they will drop it after the 1st.  I'm concerned we are moving a little too fast.  Oh well.  This was messed up from the beginning.

We have a forecast of rain for the next 7 days.  A total rainfall expected of 5 to 7 inches.  Our backyard is already a swamp.  But, it should help out the drought areas in Oklahoma.  Wheat farmers should be happy.

Ten Years and Counting

Today is our 10th anniversary.  Hardly seems possible.  There have been hurdles but nothing we can't handle.  Sometimes I marvel that two people who are opposites in every imaginable way can somehow make it work. We definitely teach each other tolerance and patience.  Ron had wanted to take a short day trip today and we planned one but at the last minute Mike got panicky and we had to abort that plan.  We will try again at a later date.  So we are going out for dinner tonight.  Our first restaurant visit in over 18 months.  This restaurant offers outside dining so we feel comfortable about trying it out.  

A couple of weeks ago we were hit by a storm with softball size hail and 80 mph!  70 percent of the homes in our town were damaged.  There are so many windows boarded up and car windshields demolished.  We are getting a new roof, new siding, a couple of windows but fortunately our cars were protected.  It will be several months before things start getting back to normal.

Ron has been going to physical therapy for his shoulder but has had minimal improvement.  He is getting an MRI next week and my guess is he will need surgery.  My knees are feeling better since I started taking Collagen Peptides.  I don't know if that's the reason they are better but I'll take it!

I don't know what to expect next, Locusts?  We've had ice storms, artic blast, hail the size of my head so nothing would be a surprise.  I imagine summer heat of 120 or higher.  Careful what I say..........I don't know who is listening.
