Have been going back and forth to the lake, hence some insights of projects needed that will be addressed next year: 1) lighting for the deck and steps down to the lake, 2) “roof” to prevent sap dripping on the new deck extension 3) further planning on structure for the other room extension 4) removal of 3 dead large ash trees on lots, 5) cleanup of dead branches etc. on same 2 lots, 6) widening...
Heading for Negaunee today. Can you believe it’s the labor day weekend already? And next Wed. we will celebrate our 59th anniversary……..can’t believe it’s been that many years either. Mike’s right knee is “bone on bone”, so he’ll be having a total knee replacement on Nov. 3. He has to wait that long because it has to be 3 months since a cortisone injection, which he had on July 30. C’mon family! Use this site...
I had repeat ultrasounds of both carotids, then appointment with vascular surgeon yesterday. Am “stable”, so just to continue having testing done every 6 months. Rt. carotid is “about 80% blocked”.Today Gd-pa/Dad had orthopedic evaluation of right knee and his inability to bear weight without pain. Given cortisone injection. All due to arthritis aggravated by the fall in May and ruptured Baker’s cyst. Hopeful for pain relief. Tomorrow will be my last day for...
Thanks to Andy, I have a new (albeit refurbished) laptop and I am one happy camper. He installed an SSD in it and spent an afternoon installing my programs and transferring files and folders over to it. My old one was 6 years old and was painfully slow and would lock up requiring restarts often. That’s a thing of the past. I’m at Negaunee right now, and even using the Verizon jetpack, it’s working...
I should have sent the last pictures of the deck here instead of sending them to you from my phone.
Hooray! Hubby reported this evening that all the spindles are in place now on the railings, and that it looks good! He’s taken several pictures with our regular camera, so when he comes back downstate I’ll post them. I’m very anxious to see it…..planning to go up the weekend of the 22nd, 23rd. Andy and friends will be able to make use of the new decks during their stay the following week-end.
Also – the longest daylight hours…….bummer that now they start getting shorter again. Appliance illness is the name of the game at 9 Fawn Drive this week……reverse osmosis stopped working properly (Culligan coming out on Tuesday); desktop computer failing (Andy coming on Saturday); and today the washer stopped working. Geesh!!
Had a nice brunch here yesterday with Jeff, Julie and Todd. Spent some time discussing potential events/places etc. during our times together in August. Would like to do some planning ahead with everyone’s input to see what things we would like to do together and those things that might be independent of whole group involvement, fully acknowledging that there will be some of each for all of us. We were all in agreement that some...
