Alone

Al is in California for a long weekend at his sister's wedding. I'm home packing, cleaning and having some fun too. The rain has been keeping me inside most of the time but I'm looking forward to getting out to work in the yard. We're getting closer to making a decision on when we're moving.

Dead tree

This tree was essentially dead and in the way of the the farmer bringing his equipment up our driveway. He also removed 2 other big trees in the middle of fields.

Wonderful Power

Today I used a power washer for the first time and was that thing ever nifty! We cleaned 23 dirty rubbermaid bins and covers plus 12 plastic crates in no time flat. The dirt literally disappeared. However, I'm a little mystified about how it worked on the car. It's still covered with dust like I never cleaned it. I can't figure that one out! Now we're ready to start packing. How exciting is that!

My favorite cat

I made this closeup of the tiger from the zoo and love it.

Progress

We are working hard to get our house in orde to move. I've gone thru books, drawers, cabinets, etc. getting rid of everything I never use. Today I'm thawing our upright freezer and we're trying to use up food stuffs.

Al is working outside doing things I didn't know had to be done. We still haven't heard back from any moving people. I think they just want us to accept whatever charge they decide to ask for. We want estimates.

Scandalous

Why is it that every time I go to the P. O. to mail something I feel like they're trying to get all the money out of me possible? They always start with the highest method of sending then try to add things like confirmation, etc. I never care when the package arrives and want bone bare cost. It's always enough!
