A Cold Wet Dreary Monday on daylight savings time....
Well after an interesting weekend, here it is a cold wet dark and dreary Monday. It's raining , you can feel winter creeping up on us and in general it's just plain depressing....
Friday evening we had quite the storm complete with thunder, lighting , gusting winds and a torrential downpour. The electricity went out for a while, (not unusual for the area we live in) and we found out that the house that we had just closed on last week definitely had a roof leak! There's nothing like hearing the thunderous roar of the rain outside only to see the ceiling gushing water in the living room and bathroom. Well according to my husband and our friend that we are in partnership with, it's not as bad as it seems and can be easily patched/fixed. Well, Saturday and Sunday was spent working on the roof, trying to get the water pump to work properly and other such fun things! I guess I need to be patient and not let it bother me, but I can't help wondering if we did the right thing , purchasing this fixer-upper.... Ah well, time will tell.....
Saturday was blustery and cold, a perfectly Halloweenish day! It had the feel of, oh say .... a line that I might be misqoting here ... "Something wicked this way comes".....
Sunday was spent running around, "spinning my wheels" and not having a lot to show for anything... We didn't have very many trick or treaters, five groups with a total of about 18 kids. Our area had designated from 3:00 -7:00 pm as the official time for trick or treaters. The neighborhood we live in is an older neighborhood that has a lot of middle age to older people , not very many families with children. That and the fact that, lets face it , it's not the same as when I was a kid, the world seems to be far more dangerous. .....
Don't forget to vote tomorrow!
