Holiday Busy-ness

Families tend to gather on holidays, and mine did yesterday.  My daughter and her husband stopped by for a business on their way to a vacation. Its always great to see them and get updates in person!  Once they leave, a kind of melancholy is left behind.  I wish we all lived closer, but it hasn't worked out that way.

In other good news,  I had set a small dish of water in the freezer to see if it was really not working, and the water froze.  So I unplugged and plugged my freezer back in and the settings were reset, all is normal again.  For now.  Yay! I hated the thought of shopping for another new unit. 

In my neighborhood, the "kids" playing with fireworks on July 4th were very busy. I assumed the loud kabooms would end just after midnight.  Nope!  1am:  Boom! 2am: Boom!  4am:  Boom! Boom! Boom!  Doesnt this person ever sleep??????

Hope everyone had a Happy 4th!

Excuses, Excuses

It's a holiday .... Happy 4th of July!!  And what better excuse to just relax! Right?

Although I'm using that as an excuse, it's really not a very good one.  We're looking at temps over 110 for the next 7 days.  It makes a person lethargic, and I need to try and shake it.  I'm beginning to be very lazy.  

And now, an error light for my freezer. No idea why, sounds like the fans are working, so I slid the unit away from the wall and see what's next.  Otherwise, I'll be shopping for a new one. Again. Its always a challenge because I am limited in height so that limits my choices.  I've had trouble with the Frigidaire brand lately.  Ugh.

Isn't it funny how different things happen in life ... the ups and downs that carry us through each day.  Sometimes it gets to be too much, but we all just carry on as best we can. 

Hope your day is a good one!
