Ok, that sentence is nothing really special except we are in the sixth month already. Today is also the start of hurricane season. I didn't think I would be talking or thinking about hurricanes. Our newspaper gave the list of names for the hurricanes this year. Chris will be the next name used with Tony further down on the list. Hmmm, I wonder what type of hurricanes they will be...
We will be celebrating our wedding anniversary this year in California. We will be there for about a week. Frankie won't be able to go with us this time. He will have to be boarded at the Vet. He never has had to do this as he was boarded at someone's home. We are concerned how he will take this change. He will be put into a small cage and will not have the freedom he usually has while at home. We both wish we could take him but the California plans will not allow it.
My craft table has been started. It has been so warm to hot, the last few days (take goodness for A/C), that it makes working in the garage almost impossible. At least a little bit has been done so I can wait a little while longer.
Our neighborhood is changing again. The lot next to us had been sold and the house is now going up. It will be the last house in our section. We are missing the openness that was provided to us when the house wasn't there. Of course we have said to ourselves, we should have purchased that lot. If we had, we would have had to pay HOA fees in addition to our present house. We pay two separate fees now.
I am pretty sure we have all of our doctors set up now. I have another new appointment to go too but the rest are complete. We saw our new dentist on Thursday and it was a fantastic experience. They used different tools. To take pictures of your mouth, the hygienist used a hand held camera that was the size of a wand. The pictures taken went straight to their computer. They now had a pictures of your teeth and then could add any further detail. The office also had something that looked like a black light that she used to look into your mouth. This device could tell whether you had cavities or problems with your mouth for the dentist to take a look further. I go back in two weeks to have a spot on the inside of my left cheek rechecked to see if it is still there or has gone away. Of course, my mind is going crazy but I was also told not to worry about it. If it was still there, then the next step will be to an oral surgeon. So, I wait.
This office, though, has been the best we have ever gone too. They all are so pleasant, the cleaning was easy and not rough as the last one was in California. They have TV's in each exam room. One of the rooms is for kids only and they show cartoons or shows that would interest the age of the child. Where was this when the kids were growing up?!
We had a problem with the Duffy boat the other day. We took it out and before we went too far, we lost power or just about. We called the gate house to try and find someone to help. We were had to go backwards in order to go forwards. The boat corrected this situation so the boat could go forward as it should have been doing, but it did it on its own. We made it back to the house but just barely. A repair service was contacted and we learned that the Duffy boat needs to be on a charge all the time. We were told the batteries just ran out of juice. We would charge the boat for most of a day or after taking it our and then take it off the charge at night fall. The boat has now been on a charge for the last couple of days but one particular person is anxious to get back out on the lake. Sunday will be the day.
We had Karen and Eddie spend the Memorial Day weekend with us. Karen had a conference in Washington DC and was able to stop for a visit on her return home. They did have to cut it short when Beryl decided to pay South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida a little visit. Karen and Eddie were able to make it back home before the heavy rain started. Florida did lose some power but we didn't have any problem. Beryl started as a tropical depression, then a tropical storm, and almost to hurricane force, Category 1, status. It stayed a storm when it reached land fall and slowly left the area after drenching the states with much needed water. Everyone has been dealing with drought conditions, that this soaking was a welcomed relief.
June is now starting to look full already. Between appointments, social events at the clubhouse, and trying to complete projects, we are busy. What happened to taking it easy?
