Monday

Well what a day, actually the day has been a continuation of Sunday evening since I've been awake since 3 AM trying to overcome the emotion of having streams of water exit your electrical fixtures and then trying to figure out how to rectify the problem until a new piece of tin roof can be installed. Along with the rain the fog has taken over eliminating any opportunity of a little sunshine and the chance to get on the roof and resolve the "hole in the roof" issue. Andy the "roof man" called but the tin roof was wet and too slippery for any safe operation on it slick surface when wet, so we are planning to change out the tin strip that held the vent stack.

Nancy and I did the Wal-Mart scene in Galax, Va after battling the heavy dense fog on the parkway. We filled up with fresh gas for all our outdoor yard equipment before heading out to Lowe's. There we once again picked up more annuals; saliva, petunias, periwinkles and some more flower seeds before heading over Wal-Mart for a restocking of groceries. We finally got on our way home around 1 PM after stopping at Horton's for some buckwheat pancake mix.

The wet cool mist and fog kept the temp's in the 50's all day and never did the sun ever show its face. The cool,wet weather sure has perked up the seedlings I transplanted over the past couple days in between the rain showers. Ray Todd finally came by for a visit around 4 and visited for nearly an hour, he now has only one Blue Heeler dog which is quite unusual for him. After Ray left Nancy started on a pot of zuppa which was perfect for the weather conditions. We planned on going out and transplanting those 24 different annuals purchased today, but the rain started once again keeping us in the dry(except for the bathroom)cabin. Tomorrow is supposed to be a much warmer as well as drier day. Missing our grand babies, LATER
