How nice it wake up to a nice cool morning after all that hot, muggy, humid weather we have been having. We are heading back out to the lake. Had to come home last night to take care of the animals (the drawback of having them) so we could not stay the night. The Rosenfelds' boat is back in our back yard waiting to head back to the shop tomorrow morning. It has to be put on a computer at a sea-doo dealership which will take it out of "limp" mode which is a safe mode to protect the engine when things are not quite kosher and in this case Lance put too much oil in it when they were putting it back together. Everyone seems to think that this jet-ski has some sort of hex on it. Of course, I don't believe in that. I think it is just a tempermental piece of equipment that has had a run of bad motors on several persons doings before Vincent got a hold of it. Not to mention the company who supplies the motors has a motor-put-together-er- who did not put oil in a certain part of the motor and it cannot function without it.
But we had out reliable jet-ski so we rode it. We left it down there on the boat lift at the Rosenfelds dock so we did not have to tow it back again today.
Yesterday Mom, Alpha and myself went to the Heirloom's Rubber Stamp and Paper Festival held at the Carolina First Center (formerly the Palmetto Expo Center). We had a really great time, I think Alpha spent the most money out of all three of us. I purchased 3 stamps, 2 of which were snowmen stamps, which I love. (Snowmen, hmmmm) a "Merry Christmas" stamp and a set of Heidi Swapp "credit card" embellishments. Don't ask me why they call them credit card embellishments, they are not the same size as credit cards and some are not even shaped like credit cards.....go figure. Mom did well walking around so much after her surgery 2 weeks ago. We kept asking her if she was ok. The only problem she had was when we went to Red Lobster to eat lunch (which is totally much cheaper than at dinner time) and she had a problem sitting in the booth for so long. She really needs to be sitting in a regular chair. I am sure she went home and took a nap.
I talked to my "fireman" brother Wayne. He works for Parker Fire District in Greenville. He is a Lt. now, promoted about a month or so ago. He loves fighting fires, it takes special men and women to do that sort of thing. He has gotten him a new cocker spaniel puppy, Harley. He had a cocker spaniel named Freckles which Wayne totally adored and she was run over a while back and he has now got her replacement (if you can call it that).
Haven't talked to my sister in a while. I keep tabs on her. She has a new job at Gateway Elementary where Allyssa goes. She was the computer lab teacher but was "promoted" to SASI clerk this year which is requiring more work than the computer lab, but both of their kids are into sports, track, basketball, high school footballs games, and just plain out high school stuff she has to do. She does live close by, but we hardly see each other. They were out of town this weekend for a sport related event.
Allyssa went to her Dad's house this weekend so Thursday was the last time we seen her and Dakota. Nick's girlfriend babysits them during the week now so that they are not in a nursery and daycare. Which is great that they get to be at home more.
Well, gotta go so I can get ready to get our of here.
