After all the craziness of the week before, and the fact that our Internet was not working properly, I had to leave you all hanging yet again. I was hoping for wireless at our beach house this year but it just didn’t happen. So, fear not, I am still around just rejuvenated from a week at my favorite beach, some quality family time with Hubby and the kids and a visit from my youngest Sister who lives in Charlotte, NC.
There was a little bitter-sweetness to our trip this year because my Uncle (In-Law) who has welcomed us year after year into his home while we trek to the beach was in the hospital. He went in for surgery before we left and complication after complication has kept him in intensive care. I was able to visit and tell him how much we love him and pray for a full recovery. And my Aunt who would never say no to a visit had some peach pie ready and waiting along with the pecan and blueberry pie and chocolate rocky road cake (for Hubby who doesn’t like pie as much).
We did make a major decision this year and one that I am more than happy to accommodate, we have decided to go for two weeks next year. Hooray!!! We are already planning and looking forward to our return.
I will leave you with a photo of my Sister and I on the beach, note the umbrella with the Canadian Maple leaves in the background, yes that is our umbrella. And as much as it was fun to be away, it is always great to come home.
What a week! Our fridge, which is a Maytag, was repaired on Wednesday. After three phone calls on Monday, a calm one, a yelling one and a crying one, I finally got a confirmed time for Wednesday and $200 to buy a little fridge to carry us through. I was not exactly happy, but I took it anyway. What else was I to do?
Monday also took me to the garage with our truck for an oil change. Well, the oil change turned into two new belts and a broken tension something or other. Thankfully, we only had to pay for th part because one of the guys at the garage broke the tension something or other.
Add to that mess the fact that we have been having major connectivity issues left far away from my lovely computer.
Tuesday had us celebrating Canada Day, which was quiet, but fun. I have photos to share, but unfortunately I am without a USB cable right now, so they are all stuck in my camera.
Wednesday saw me running back and forth with the truck, having my Mom come to wait on the fridge guy and me trying to pull everything together.
This has been a tough week. I do have more to share, but am not sure how long I will be able to stay connected, so I think I will post this for tonight and hopefully get a USB going for tomorrow so I can share some wonderful photos with you all.
Hope you all had a great Canada Day and Fourth of July!
… when I posted about my new awesome fridge?
Well, it’s broken.
It broke yesterday. And the technician might not get here until tomorrow.
Nice.
Did I mention that I already threw out a couple hundred dollars of meat? Yep.
Happy Monday.
