Just your average day---

Up at the crack of dawn ( not really but we did have to set an alarm),  hurry through breakfast ( good thing it's Monday and the newspaper is so thin), and get dressed  ( Say What?  dressed before noon!!)and wait for the construction person to arrive.  Some fuss about the size of the board for the floor, and he had to have someone pick him up and drive him somewhere else to replace it.  He and David were outside while the board was cut to fit, and had quite a conversation.  Turned out that the young fellow, readily admitting to a mis-spent youth, recognized the smell coming from next door as belonging to a grow-op.  A little more conversation, attempts to discuss everything further with the other neighbour who has been concerned about this for almost a year, sneaking into the yard next door, ( since when do they have a lock on their gate?) and taking pictures of the contents of their garbage bin with a cell phone.  The young fellow ended up calling the authorities, and leaving his information rather than ours. That part of the day finished.

My friend Shirley phoned and invited me over for coffee.  Taking the opportunity to go by Walmart on my way over, I was in line to check out when the cell phone rang.  David was reacting to the glue being used in the bathroom and had to get out of the house.  So home, and thinking up a couple of errands he could run, while I sit in the house and breathe fumes.  Called and alerted poor Shirley and we were able to re=schedule for Wednesday.

So it is now 2:20.  The young fellow should be finished in the bathroom in about half an hour.  Then we will have to open the windows, put on all of the fans, and desert the house for the rest of the day.

And I had hoped to spend my day quilting!  But I did get my Quilting Arts Magazine in the mail today, and that is a joy.
