We had a real nice rain last night

Yes, we had a real good rain with lots of thunder and very little wind. I always worry when those storms out of the west come blowing through that we will be blown away!
Last year we had tornadoes one right after the other and we packed it up and went in the other direction. This place can be replaced but my family cannot.
Yesterday I spent all day burning the hay I harvested out of my overgrown lawn. I must have burned 50 loads of grass before I called it quits. I was going to finish up today but with the rain and all the grass will be too wet to light.
We have a few things to finish around here and then we are headed back to Jason's to complete our projects up there. He is getting his new carpet this week and the painter are coming next week.
Kris will be at his grandma's and we are homeschooling Franki. All in all we should be finished and back at the lake for the long stretch in two weeks. 
I hope to do some paintings when we come back...

Somewhere in Time

We are back at the Lake

I am trying out our Internet to see if it works better on this program. We got back Thursday and I had sooo much to do that I did not think I would ever get it all done. 
The yard was close to 5 feet tall when we arrived! Yes 5 feet and all I had was our little mower. I had to purchase another mower for back-up so that if one died I would have another to continue on with. 
It took me two full days to complete the yard mowing but I finally got it all done and then I had to rake all the grass up. That has been a three day job...this being the third day. I hope to get it all wheeled to the back yard so I can start burning it all.
I had to set up the Direct TV and that took some doing. We still don't have our local channels because our address is still in Colorado. I hope to get that done sometime this week.
My Internet was not working when they said they had it back on so I have been working on it for the past three days. Finally I found out what the problem was. After inspecting the phone lines from the main box I located a spot in the line where a varmint had been chewing on the insulation. The wires had shorted out and therefor no Internet. 
The next problem was the bathroom light in the cabin. When we got back we turned all the breakers back on and the bathroom breaker sparked and would not come on. So I had to trace down that problem and found that the breaker was worn out. I exchanged that circuit breaker with another circuit and it worked so now I have to get another breaker for the other circuit that I am borrowing. What fun this has all been.
We will be leaving tomorrow for Jason's home. He is having some remodeling done and his Mom and I are going to be overseeing it while he is at work. Always something to do here...
