Wednesday


So...Gary is home and doing well. Very sore but that is to be expected...He stayed overnight in the new section of NFRH...it was very new and nice.


Gary was ready for this Lumbar Laminecetomy as he has had severe back pain for a few years...


After surgery he was very hungry...the pulled pork sandwich the hospital offered wasn't to his liking...


 He will have to wear a back brace for awhile as he is forbidden to bend, twist or lift.


I did enjoy my splurge of many cafe lattes made with organic soy milk....


I'm back at pool duty...something about rain brings out the worms and frogs...


After cleaning the pool filter the robot still wasn't working...so protocol calls for removing it from the pool and checking for leaves...first time I ever found a dead frog stuck in it.


I wasn't sure how to remove it as I didn't want to touch it...Gary suggested pliers. I thought of the gloves...and out it came.

Robot back in business...

Saturday



So...earlier this week we had major septic issues with the kitchen and main bathroom...Charley our plumber said first thing to do is to have the tank drained...and guess where the opening to the tank is...yep, right in the middle of this veggie bed...


Gary made me a make do outdoor kitchen...


Just like camping...


It took me a couple of days to move all the dirt in the veggie bed...


Finally...


This is the same guy that drained the shop tank...nice guy...


...hardly smelled when he opened the tank up πŸ˜–πŸ˜–πŸ˜–


Today the twin came over and put the bed back together...


 I filled the bed back with the dirt...almost good as new...lost lots of dirt in the process!


I had time to make our favorite granola bars...I keep these in the freezer...they hold better that way...


It's so nice to be able to do the dishes indoors...


Going to try my Christmas soap from Trader Joe...


Dinner...

Steak, air fried potatoes and veggies.
