The pictures that you see is two houses down from me. It is not a sink hole but it is a rather deep hole. We have a sewer leak in the main line which is 14 foot deep. Today it began to fill back up as the soil began to slide. It became very unsafe for the workers and they were removed from in side. They now have a much bigger pump draining the water. I was told it would take another day to complete the job. Last night while I was writing on my Blog the power went out. Of course with a battery operated laptop it never slowed me down. when I finished I went out to investigate to see what was up. Neighbors hollered at me and ask if my power was out also. One man wanted to know what I was doing (hooking up my generator) and I show him. He then began to blame the city for digging in the street and he thought caused it. Some times it does not pay for me to be seen in an area with problems, especially in my yard. I explained that the city had left hours ago and if the cause it it would have s...

Today the carpet was installed in out room, and it looks really nice. Pat has put some of the things back in the room but is not completely finished as you can see. We will be hanging some pictures and we have one more piece of furniture to put in. It is will be my job to clean it up and get it painted. I will try to get it done this week or this weekend. I was able to get the stitches out of my finger so I have no more excuses left. I think in my mind I milked this cut and I mean cut (minor) as long as I can. Even I will start laughing pretty soon when I look at it. I have found out that my Grandson Luke is doing a paper about his family and where they came from. I was able to find some pictures of where my father was born. So I am sharing them with you along with a picture of him when he was in his twenties. I have read that a lot of Gator’s are jumping ship and going into the NFL draft. You can’t blame them as the money is too much to turn down. I am sure that the Gators will have a...

This has been an interesting week end for Pat and I. Seems as though our room will be finishing up this Tuesday with the installation of the carpet. And now, well now it seems that our AC unit is leaving us. Yesterday it froze up on the heat cycle and did not work, so last night we slept without heat. It really was not all that bad as it only was 61 in the house. That really made for great sleeping conditions. Today Pat and I loaded up with fire wood and hand split some oak. We are now prepared for whatever comes our way. Tonight is supposed to be even colder than last night. The pictures that you see were taken about 50 miles north of us. Next surprise is that I think we have to replace our garage opener, the whole enchilada. Looking at it I think that maybe Pat and I together can do it. Looking back now maybe Pat and I should have taken one more shot at having a boy. Think he would be offering to help if he existed? This picture is a framed statement of facts given to me by my daugh...
