Nope, no water

We were up around 8am. we had breakfast and got dressed. We went up to Dawn's house and started laundry and got 6 buckets of water. We came home and emptied  them in to the tub and filled all the stools. We then went up for another load of water and stored it in the mudroom. We went swimming after lunch and then went to Dawn's again to take showers and get the get the last load of laundry. We came home and had leftovers for dinner. We still do not have the markings for the guy to be able to dig. So it looks like we will not be getting water any time soon. It is nice not doing dishes, but limiting your potty flushes is for the birds.

Still no water....

Beth was up around 7am expecting the guys to call about fixing our water pipe. She finally had to call at 10am to see what was going on. The said someone would be here around noon to look at it. I left and went to Dawn's to do a load of laundry. The guy came and said we needed to have the area marked for buried lines and they he could come out and dig the hole. So the wait is on for that to happen. We went to Target to get some wipes to at least take a spit bath in the morning and evening. we will go to Dawn's to take a shower tomorrow and do some more laundry.

Water water water

We were up around 8:30am. I took a shower and we had breakfast. We were on the computer until lunch and then I went to the store. Beth wanted cucumber salad for dinner/ Dawn and Eileen were coming over for bar-b-que chicken and backed potatoes. I went into the offer around 5pm and hear some high pitch buzzing noise that was coming from downstairs. We raced downstairs and found water on the floor. The little watchdog water alarm saved us a big mess. We started sweeping the water in the drain, but could not find where it was coming from. After about 10 minutes, We found it was coming in between the wall and the floor. Beth called the plumber and turned off the pump. I threw 3 of the moving blankets on the floor to soak up the water and try to create a flow of water to the drain. The plumber got here about 20 minutes later and looked around. he determined that the pipe that brings the water from the pump to the house was probably broken. We would let his boss know and they would call us in the morning to let us know when they could come out and dig up the pipe and fix it. So the four of us went to dinner and had a great time visiting despite the water issues. We were able to fill the tab and have some water set aside for coffee and drinking. Let just hope they can come fix it tomorrow.

Buster's new bed...

We both slept until after 8:30am. We had breakfast and took showers. Buster had a grooming appointment at 11:30am and Beth had a hair cut at 12:15pm. I did 2 loads of laundry and washed Buster's bedding. He needed a new bed for the living room as the other one was falling apart. I had to go to the post office, get gas, go to AC Moore, and to the bank. Kyle stopped by for a visit and then left for work. Beth wen to pick up Buster and after she got home, we went to get a new dog bed. We had dinner and watch some TV.

More car stuff...

I got up at 7am and took a shower. I had breakfast and Kyle picked me up at 8am. We went to CJ tires to get new tires, an oil change, and a front end alignment on Kyle's car. After inspecting the car, they found that the front outside tie rod was bad and needed to be replaced. So they were able to do most things on the car, but had to wait for the tie rod to be delivered. So after 2 1/2 hours, it was finally done. Kyle dropped me off at home and Beth and I had lunch. Beth went out to cut grass and I did 3 loads of towels and sheets. I made Shepard pie for dinner and Beth and Dawn went swimming. I was too tired to swim and worked on getting our fast passes for the Sept. trip to Disney. So no alarms for tomorrow and I can sleep as late as I want. Yea

Another busy day...

Beth was up and at church by 8am. I got up and took a shower and Payton was up. Beth got home and round 9:15 and brought donuts home. We had breakfast and Payton and I watch Jurassic Park 1. I did his laundry and we took him home around noon. We came home and worked on our vinylmation collection. We then went to Lowe's and picked up a few things for Beth to finish her wedding project. We came home and I had to leave again as we forgot to take Payton's meds home with him and he needed them. So I dropped them off and we went up to see Dawn and had dinner with her. I had to water all the plants as it is going to be hot the next few days with no rain insight.

Car shopping and movie watching...

We were up at 7am and went to pick up Kyle. Payton stayed with Maggie while we went looking for cars. We went to Plymouth Meeting first. Beth said she could hear dueling banjos. We looked at several cars and the one Kyle loved was going to cost him an arm and a leg for insurance. So he made a good choice and walked away. He saw another post and talked to the guy and set up an appointment for noon. We stopped and had some lunch first and headed to see the car. It was a 2004 Nissan Altima with 130,000 miles. We test drove it and Kyle noticed it was shifting rough and the check engine light came on. The guy was able to determine the issue and said it would have it fixed if we wanted to come back in an hour. So we left and headed to DJ's house to wait and to talk about the car. It was in great shape and a good price. It had been a hot and sweated day and we were on the final leg of car shopping. One more test dive and everything checked out. So off we went to the title company and got everything in Kyle's name. It needs new tires and an oil change which will take place on Monday. Beth, Payton, and I stopped at the store and came home. I fixed steak and buttered noodles for dinner. Payton and I went to see Jurassic World. We were back home by 9:30pm. It has been a long hot day,, but everything got done and I am so ready for bed.

Good and Bad...

Beth and I were up around 8am. we took shower and Payton finally got up around 9:30am. The guy came around 11am to look at our range hood in the kitchen. After a hour, he could not find the reason it will not work. It is getting power, but that is it. It is 7 years old, so he said it would cost more to get it fixed than to replace. Not sure I agree with him and a new one cost $1500. so we might get another person in to look at it first or go with a cheaper new one. So we took Payton to a place in reading called The Works. It is a restaurant and gaming center. We had a great time and then took Payton to see the chiropractor at 5pm. We stopped at the store and came home. We had tacos for dinner and then Beth and Payton went swimming. So it was a good and bad day.

Payton racing...

we were up around 7:30am. we took showers and Dawn picked us up around 8:45am. we looked at 3 townhouse. One of them was a dump and I am not sure how they expect to get $199 thousand for it. I might give you $140. There was one that was ok, but we wanted to see one more. So the relator was able to get an appointment tonight at 6:30pm and Rylee could go see it and the ok one. It was a dream house. Thy are in the process of painting, but it was by far the best and the cheapest. We picked up DJ from work and took her to the track. We were getting Payton for the next 3 day. He was racing a 60 lap race tonight. At lap 19 he got hit hard from the back a few times and came into the pits crying. He had a bad headache and was done for the night. So on top of the strep he has, now you can add a headache. We were going to Knobble's amusement park tomorrow with Dawn and Rylee, but not sure if that will happen. I also was phone interviewed by a reporter from the Associated Press out of DC. She want to talk about our wedding and able us adding a quote from Judge Kennedy's ruling. She will let me know when it will be published, so I will keep you posted.

Planting...

We were up around 8:30am. We had breakfast and got dressed. I dug up the crape myrtle tree and took it to Colonial Gardens for a replacement. I found they were still accepting the colonial buck, so everything I got was half price. So I picked up a few day lilies, and a couple bushes, and for flowers for the pots. I was back home around 11a and got the crape myrtle planted. We had lunch and then went out to plant the rest of the flowers. Beth pulled weeds from Pooh's corner. I went to pick up my computer and they found no virus on it or any of my external hard drive. Dawn and Rylee came over for dinner around 5:30pm. After dinner, Beth and Rylee got in the pool and Dawn and I watched. We then had smores. Yum Yum
