Good Morning everyone! I hope everyone has had a good week, I know we have.

It's been another boring, normal week. My daughter got home from South America with no problems other than a flight delay in Atlanta, but what else is new?

My foot has finally started to feel better. My big toe is still the sorest and it finally bruised in a couple of places so I had really bruised it deeply. But, I can put normal pressure on it most of the time. Usually afternoon and evening are the times it hurts, but that's because I've been on it all day.

Bill did some walking every day and a couple of days he walked twice again. I have noticed we're getting into a really bad rut of just sitting and staring at the TV, watching the same reruns over and over. So, I've got to start finding things for us to do during the day.

The best news of the week is that our troublemaking neighbors have moved! And, I think they did it mostly under cover of darkness to avoid the landlord. I would notice that there was nothing piled at the curb when we would go to bed but there would be a large pile of broken furniture and toys there in the morning. There also haven't been any lights on at all, whether the power was just turned off or what I don't know. But the bathroom light was usually left on all night. If the condition of the mini-blinds is any indication, the house will not be in the best shape! Hopefully they've moved to a neighborhood that isn't as ours normally is. And, while it may seem bad to be happy that someone may have been forced to move (by the complaints of noise and police presence), we're glad to get our neighborhood back.

Our friend Ron, who lives behind us and down a house, is having an in-ground pool broken up and filled in. I'm not really sure the people he hired know what they are doing. But, the process is really disturbing Bill. There is a utility access way that separates the house on the different blocks and they have, of course, been using that to bring in their equipment. They have chewed it up behind Ron's and even took down part of his privacy fence. I don't know why but this has really upset Bill. The damage is not at our backyard so we don't have to look at, but he's just beside himself about it. That's one of the drawbacks from the stroke, when he gets on a subject he stays with it. It's like a computer that gets into an endless loop. If only he could get rebooted like the computer!

So, that's our week. It's been dry but hot and more humid as the week has continued. Cool enough in the mornings to turn the air off and open the doors. Today is cloudy and it's sprinkling now, with heavier rain forecast for later today. So, I'd better get my shoes on and get to the grocery store before the main event starts. Have a great week-end!
