Delivery Day for Appliances

   We are still hot and humid here-typical for Missouri Ozarks though. I spent a lot of hours yesterday morning, getting this gravel pile swept up and found boards to hopefully keep it from sliding down the hill. That was actually a big job.

  This morning our nearby friend here at the lake moved the suburban to the top of hill and into our neighbor's driveway so it would be out of the way for the Lowes truck. Then after that cleaned up the area that was under the suburban-this hill is so steep that gravel and soil comes down with the rain storms.

 I had just enough room in the very old chest freezer in the basement for the frozen items that were in the frig. That was a good thing. I also went through old bottles of things that we don't use any more and filled up about 6 wal mart bags full for the garbage pickup- which was early this morning-so that was good. It is amazing what was kept in the frig-especially since Larry's accident-that we don't use any more..

  The window for the delivery is 1 to 5 that is really a long time frame. not sure what we will eat today around 2 pm. Larry is getting worse-which is expected so we may just have yogurt and fruit today and somethings else later.

  I took a couple of photos



That stone pile was a job but now it is contained more. We bought this for projects before Larry's accident-and it was Very expensive we've used about half of it so far.

This hill is pretty steep and always intimidated me so is why I park up on the spot on top of this-I should learn to master this hill.  I am looking at new Equinox 2027 (online) for a new car for me-I need one soon to stay safe. Our friend that mowed the grass for me suggested it-he says his Mom and Grandma love theirs.  The dealerships near here closed down a few years ago so when I am ready will go to Lebanon which is near the woods home and am familiar with. Do any of you any have this car?

   I hadn't talked with a long time friend in Wisconsin for over a year now so I Facebooked him around 11 pm last night and he says I am calling you.  We talked til 3 am smiles. A nice catch up with a good long time friend. They live in Wisconsin but move down to Florida in September and stay til Wisconsin warms up.  I gotten woken up after two hours sleep this morning-this will be a long day smiles.

  Happy Tuesday

  Update more stress--the appliances won't make it through the opening on top of the steps so have to get a railing off--craziness because we have gotten very large pieces down here before stressed and not happy
