Good morning gals. I keep telling you I think the rain has moved out then it rains another day. I am hoping it is finally moving off today. They were powerwashing the deck next door for what seemed like hours yesterday and oh what a noise. Gave me a headache. I am amazed he makes any money at all with the work he puts into his rental property.
I got an email from my younger sister and she said her husband got fired on Friday so he is out of a job out in expensive California. They have two teenagers in the home and one of their grown children living there. Then yesterday, I got an email from my oldest sister and she had talked to my brother, who lives just outside Chicago. He works for Ford and they have cut his pay by about 35%. He built a huge new house not more than about a year or so ago and now is in jeopardy of losing it as he can't make the payments. He has always been money savvy, having a masters in accounting and he says he has lost big money in all his investments and they have gone through all their savings. They have three teenage children they have to think about, my brother is near 50, is obese, and has serious diabetes. Finding a job for him is going to be tough. So please keep them in your prayers. It might not sound very glamorous, but thank God for sewage! Jack jokes that he has ultimate job security as everybody has to poop.
I overdid my turnips so they were mushy and a little lame on taste last night. I made Faye's stuff so kind of used the sauce as gravy over the mashed turnips, which gave them some flavor. Tonight is sirloin burger for Jack and turkey burger for me and I am having a german cole slaw. I love vinegar based slaw so am looking forward to it. Because of the fiber in the slaw and the no calorie dressing, it is actualy minus on WW points. What could be better than that? I am going to make a pot of pumpkin soup for lunch I think.
Lots to do today so I better get with it. Hope everyone has a good day today. I am off to do chores and start the downstairs cleaning for this week.
