Good morning to you all! We had a huge thunderstorm overnight and everything is soaked now, but mild outside.
Jack and I ran an errand last night and came home to find two police cars and about 8 cops next door. They were all going through the gate next door and we had pushed out garage door opener so our garage door was sliding up. As we drove past, one cop signaled to the last cop something about us as we went past the second cop just smiled at us and waved. Don't know what that was about, but instead of getting on my pjs like I usually do and watching tv, I sat there dressed in case we had to make "a run for it."
As we were going into the condo they were knocking on the door and talking and joking with someone not dressed in a uniform so I wonder if it was the condo owner (rental property) and they were going to evict the ghetto trash that lives there. Who knows? We always have some kind of drama here.
Susan: I hope that all the work you are doing will benefit you in the long run. Boy I got a shock at the laundromat. The prices sure have gone up considerably. The dryers were 25 cents for 5 minutes! I feel for the people who have to do their laundry there all the time. The washers cost $6.25. At least it is clean and non threatening, which was nice. I can stand it until we decide what we want and where we want to get it.
Jean: Did you have a good time with your school friends? Alicia posted a picture of Jackson standing on this little circle of snow in their front yard and he was growling about all the rest of the snow being gone. I imagine they are happy though. They are trying to get their rental in shape to re rent it and it is always better in dry weather for painting and such.
I went to Walmart and picked up my contacts, another clothes basket, a couple movies we wanted to see and a book I want to read on the way to Atlanta next month. Hope I can keep my hands off it. It is a series I read and I especially like. One of the movies we got was "2012" and it was pretty good. Thomas told me the movie was bad when he stayed with us, but I imagine he thought it was hokey and that is why he didn't like it. It was a disaster movie and with all the earthquakes recently really brought the possibility of it happening home I guess.
Well, I am going to get back into the recliner and snooze for an hour then Jack will be getting up. He has a recheck on his knee today and wants to get there as soon as it opens. My appt is at 10 so I want to be over there early and get it over with so we can move on with all of this.
Have a grand Thursday all! Faye
Where oh where is the sun? I need to go down to the basement and vacuum the litter and dust bunnies. The outside pump is pumping but with all the rain I can't help but know we will get water in the basement sooner or later. 
I'm famous for putting clothes in the dryer for 'only a few minutes' and then forgetting to get them before they are completely dry. There is nothing like a good speaker for motivation. I'm glad you enjoyed your quilt guild; I hope you get your books soon! 
Bob had to go out, in the rain this morning, to dig the pump hole a bit deeper. It wasn't pumping as often as he wanted with it raining so hard. When it pumps it sucks the hold dry though. 
You can guess who is hanging around the ones that we have here. My neighbor's dryer quit on her and she brought her laundry over here to use mine. I know I could use hers in a pinch. Our lunch bunch sat and visited for 3 hours yesterday. The one who is on the school board couldn't be there so it wasn't quite as informative as usual.

Iowa!
Titilating Thursday
Things that go on in small town America are different than in the large cities. I much prefer small town America. Ya know there is a grand population of about 2000 that live in that little place where our butcher is located. Everyone must know everyone there.
