Good morning to you ladies. Rain, rain, go away. It isn't going to stop until Monday! We have flood watches all over the place and it is a mess here already. I just hope it doesn't cause the river to go over it's banks which means Jack working those crazy hours.
We have commissary weekend this weekend and I sure hope they have the mess all arranged. I sent a scathing email to the guy that runs the store and he never replied so I imagine there were a lot of people complaining. Before when they rearranged they just took whole rows and moved them to another row, but this time they separated things that went together and put them on separate isles. I can feel my blood pressure rise just thinking about trying to find stuff.
The stairs are all in and are great. They were here 3 hours putting them in and taking out the old ones. I think they were originals and that means over 40 yrs old. They did a very nice job.
Gail: I have a lot of yarn too, but I am one of those knitters that only buy yarn for a project not just because I love it. I need to organize it all. I haven't knit in months. I have a sweater halfway done that I need to finish, but with losing weight I may just rip it all out and wait.
Jean: That is scary about your bank accounts. It is strange how that possibly came about. We have one account as such but have our credit cards, car loan, savings, checking and another account all under one umbrella. Hope Bob can get it all straightened out.
Everyone have a great day!

and cooler temperatures today. This noon the weatherman said tomorrow will be record breaking and in the 70s. Yesterday Bob visited the bank where we had our house loan plus a checking account at one time. We have a neighbor a few houses away who works there and the CEO is on the manor board with Bob; he said it was like old home week with people walking through and saying, "hi Bob!" Today we went back there to open new accounts even though our accounts will be transferred to the other bank in the meantime. This is a bank I always felt uncomfortable going in because there is a huge chandelier and fountain in the center lobby, a fancy winding staircase where prom and wedding pictures are taken, carpet with a fancy design in it, etc. Everyone, especially the gals, dressed up and the guys wore suits and ties. It is more casual now but did see heels and slacks this morning. The CEO, no suit but long sleeved dress shirt and tie, walked by and stopped to shake hands with me and say, "welcome back" as well as the neighbor stopping by. We were offered coffee or bottled water and left with metal travel cups. I always did the drive through with the house payment so was surprised when people called me by name. I think someone did their homework after Bob was there yesterday.
The gal who helped us this morning has a son in Beth's class. Then I stopped by the gift shop to pick up a shower gift and a couple cards. Now I need to get busy and do some dusting and vacuum the fur bunnies. The boys must have had a little disagreement while I was gone because I am finding tufts of Ernie fur here 'n there.
It's always fun to share something you enjoy.
Maybe the commissary manager got enough complaints he will return it to the way it was. Wishful thinking I'm sure. We have so many automatic deposits and withdrawals that Bob wanted to get that paperwork started. Hopefully some of it might beat the transfer action from the first bank to the second. The second bank isn't a local bank either and that's why we opted for the third bank. I will be getting another debit card which I declined at first. One plan required I use it at least 15 times a month, which I rarely do. The plan we chose has no limit; she talked me into taking it saying that eventually the printed checks will not exist. I hope at doesn't happen any time soon!
I have good intentions but for some reason never get it all together at once.
I'm glad I don't have to dress up for work any more. I'm glad your rain has let up. 


to you! I hope you celebrate in style!
