Sorry for no post yesterday. There is nothing wrong, we were just very busy.

Our week started out with a bang, the dishwasher overflowed through the washer drain so we had a flooded laundry/computer room again. I called Roto Rooter but they couldn't get here until Tuesday. So, sopped up water again, although this was much worse than just from the laundry because it also washed out debris from the garbage disposal as I had been cleaning out the refrigerator. It took the technician a little longer than he thought it would but he got it running free. Then, it was washing up the towels again and getting it all cleaned up again. I had to wash the towels twice and use a laundry boost to get the smell out but it got done.

I've also had a secret that pertained to this week...my sister came to visit Thursday! We didn't tell anyone she was coming so that we could have just sister time, with Bill of course. She actually came to have me do her taxes. She's a partner in a business that always files an extension for the business taxes so it makes her taxes late, too. We haven't even done the taxes yet! We've just visited, and yesterday we went to Hardy, Arkansas to go to the antique and craft stores. It was also a good trial for Bill and his little tanks. It's also a little hilly and of course walking in and out of the shops. We had lunch in a little diner and then started out. Bill sat on the benches outside most of the time, but it was really hot again so he couldn't stay out long. We all got pretty tired and headed home and got in about 5, just in time to order pizza and just sit again.

Bill did fine and we had to change his tank while we were there, but we managed just fine.

Today is going to be for taxes and a little insurance research and more visiting. She's leaving tomorrow, she thinks. She says as long as she gets home in time to go to work Weds. afternoon, but I think now she's leaning toward tomorrow.

It's supposed to cool down tomorrow and I am really ready. The temperature on the bank in Hardy said that it was 100 yesterday afternoon, and Hardy is in the foothills of the ozarks. It's been just as hot here in the flatlands. But, tomorrow the high is only supposed to be 79 and a little rainy...nice fall weather.

So, that's why this is late, our week was adventurous but nice with family around. Until next time, and it should be on time!
