Not really. I have a leaky roof and nobody will fix it. They demand that I buy a whole NEW roof. Oh well...I am going to lose the house anyway, so I guess I have to just place buckets and pails around.

One would think that in this economy, someone would be glad to take the “small jobs”.

Good morning, Luv!

*HUGS*

How are you doing this morning? We're cooling off here in D.C. Land - current temp is 70 - looking for a high in the low 80's.



Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps Pacem!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

((HUGS)) snow is gone. Lots of summer folks slowly comming in town.

Locals happy snow melted 1 month early. I think it signals a bad fire season.

Take Care!
