Debbie took this picture today because we got such a kick out of the sign that's been placed on the old car. You might have to click to see it. Remember I've shown you pictures of the East Fork River at different stages measured by the bumper or headlights of the car. The other day we drove by and a Jim Roscoe for State Representative sign was on the grill of the car. Totally funny. They are stuck in people's yards all over the country, but this is the first one I've seen like this. We may stop and zoom in on it tomorrow. Whoever put it there would have had quite a hike or horseback ride on the opposite side of the river to get there. Or maybe they swam. Click it.
This is the new front gate Craig made for us. The brand is our cattle brand, the reverse G N . They used it when they ran cattle before Joe's dad sold most of the land off.It's another nice day. Cloudy overcast but no wind so far. The spiders are really moving into the house. They do that in the fall and are EVERYWHERE. It probably looks like more of them because they just keep crawling around and around - you probably see the same one ten times if you don't get it caught. Nanny sent me some interesting remedies I might try.
This morning we spent an hour or so making sure we are as organized as we should be for finalizing the sale of the house, making sure the loan is all correct, and proceeding with getting utilities, phone TV computer hookups, P.O. Box, and the inspection etc. Need to get the house insured. Since phone is out, emailed both James and the bank with questions. James says we are in good shape with it all at this point, just need to be all set to write the check about the 28th. There's just about a week left now until we finish up with the purchase and can take possession about the 30th.
The phone company guy got here a while ago to fix the phone. Probably talked to Joe who is working down at the front gate, drove in, went in the shop for 10 minutes and drove away. The phone is still the same, so don't know if he needed parts from town or the problem is with their equipment in town or what. Joe may know when he comes back in, I don't.
I'll post a picture of the new gate today, but need to get one taken.
Debbie has gone to town to mail her absentee voting ballot, and have lunch and look around. She is pretty bored with not much interesting to do and little activity. I think she's also a little homesick. While she's in there she's going to check out a place or two for new furnishings or things we may need for the house. She likes to shop, and since all their stuff is in storage she's banned from shopping at home. She can shop for us. Joe has an appointment at the VA on the 3rd and we can get things at WalMart and check out some furniture stores in Rock Springs. Joe won't like that, but it will save another trip down there. Maybe for kitchen things and linens I can shop online.
Got the windows washed inside, using a couple of days to do it. Am doing several loads of laundry again today and changing the sheets.
Sparky has a lump behind his shoulder about the size of a small saucer. I don't know what could have happened to him. It doesn't seem to cause him pain. If it doesn't get better soon he will need to go see Dr. Susie.
Tomorrow will go back to town for the various errands and to the clinic to get my protime test for the coumadin. Need to send some DVDs back to Amazon.com that were supposed to be VHS, so have to check online to see how they want me to do that. I emailed them about the problem but they never answered back.
