Serve Out

Yes, it has been a while hasn't it? Some weeks are like that. So here are some odds and ends that have accumulated and I have no other place for them.

The wastewater project is complete! No longer are we wakened by the BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! of backwards moving construction equipment. No more dump trucks are rumbling up and down the street. No more creative ways needed to get in and out of the subdivision because they have the streets blocked off. They even replaced my grass and came and watered it daily for weeks! Now all we have to do is wait for that letter from the City that says it's time to dig up your yard and your flower beds, and oh by the way - you get to pay for this part.

Made a trip to Lubbock. It didn't get any closer since the last time we made the trip, but it has its redeeming features. Things of note on the way - great cotton crop this year and there are hundreds of new wind turbines between Roscoe and Snyder. Things of note while there - Barbara was reading a book to Grace and there was a picture of Santa Claus. Grace looked at the book, then looked at me; looked back at the book and then pointed at me. Ho, Ho, Ho!

Note to self: when one's wife calls the day before she is to teach a Bible class that she has been working on for days and says that her computer won't boot, show a lot of concern. Especially, do not use phrases like, "How do I know what's wrong?" or "What do you want me to do about it?"

Another note to self: Be sure there is a back-up plan in place for your wife's new computer.

And finally, is it supposed to be 90 degrees in mid November?
