checking in

Sara in FL - I think a trip to Quebec would be marvelous. The DR is in hurricane territory in September, while Quebec is less likely to suffer one, so last-minute trip cancellation wouldn't be a concern. JMO . That said, DH has a convention in September, at Amelia Island, and I'm going. :-0

Marion - How sad for Christchurch as a city, and all of you for whom it is/was a central figure in your life. You are all going through an excruciating grieving process for which there is no quick resolution. (((hugs)))

More storms & rain today, with possible tornadoes. 'Tis the season. (ugh!)

Our laundry room remodel is half-done, I'm waiting for the painters to come remove wallpaper and paint walls & woodwork before the new washing machine & dryer are delivered. I'm diving into the world of F/L (front-loaders) and the cabinets had to be raised, so that the F/L will fit. I'm having the risers/pedestals/platforms/whateveryoucallthem as well, due to my tallness and bad back/neck/shoulder/knees.

Good thing we did this small remodel, too! When the carpenter removed the cabinets from the soffits, the drywall was moldy and damp. The sewer vent pipe is routed through the soffits and the flashing at the roof had gone bad. We've had a leak for who knows how long. It could have gone on for years before we realized it, and suffered worse damage.

Stay dry and safe!

Doris, thanks for the hugz. We really need them at the moment. A severe after-shock at the w/end caused more damage. We are wondering when it is all going to end !
