Debbie and Curtis getting the gates put up.
Debbie's roll of paper towels blew away in the wind Am writing Thursday's post on Saturday, and surely will forget a lot of what went on. It's been like a whirlwind, but best thing is how much we needed done is getting accomplished. They worked in the back yard on the fence. Curtis also went on the roof to work on the furnace vent that had been put in when the furnace went out in the coldest part of winter - remember the trouble with it being vented into the attic and then the repairmen vented it through the roof. Well they didn't use the right size roof jack for the vent - just put a whole bunch of sialastic on it - and Curtis had to buy another one and put it in instead. While up there he found that ALL the other roof jacks had not been installed properly either, so fixed all those too.
The wind was just howling again and very little sun, so it was a miserable day to be working outside. It was over 90 in Las Vegas! Debbie washed the windows outside and also cleaned all the screens. And I did the insides. She used paper towels and Windex I used my microfiber cloths, hard to tell which did the best job. Can't guess how many times she went up and down the ladder. In fact, in places it was so muddy that the ladder would sink in to the first rung. After washing the windows and some other regular chores I started to blog and read email, and began to get a quite terrible pain in my shoulder and neck. Had to go lay down with heat on it for a couple of hours. It was not nice - probably a pinched nerve or something pulled from scrubbing on the windows. Curtis' back and shoulder hurts every day like that so he has a lot of pain after helping us.
We made fried trout for dinner with corn on the cob, salad and the leftover creamed peas and potatoes. I may have made chocolate chip cookies today and know a lot more happened. As I remember what .... or not, I might get it in here for the record ..... or not.
