Begin the Fun

 It is kind of funny, that after writing about because and then laughing when the excuse whether good or not is, because of Covid that Roy would receive an email letting him know his flight is canceled and canceled because of Covid. Well probably more like, canceled because of Covid related numbers and not having enough people to justify the flight. He scrambled to find another flight on a different airline and in the midst of the scramble, he booked a flight to Charleston. Now, I like Charleston, but he meant for it to be a flight to Charlotte. Once again he booked his flight. The nonstops are all but nonexistent to Charlotte from Houston, travel time would be horrible for him and all the flights seem to come in at night. While he was driving home from the office, I found a flight for him on a Friday, nonstop and to Greenville. He got it booked and then began rearranging doctor appointments and a haircut appointment. Now, with the Greenville landing, we will make a trip to Costco while in the area. Love Costco runs with Roy. 

I am still soaking in the fun and fellowship, hey Baptist here, yesterday morning with our Sunday School class. The friends at Edify, put together a barn quilt kit for us to paint. We did the small size. It felt so good being back together again, even if everyone couldn't attend. We painted and laughed, gave praise reports and prayer requests. I'm glad that we had so much fun because when I came home, there was a gate problem to deal with. It kept opening and shutting, which I figured out how to stop that but upon closer inspection I noticed the arm on the gate that opens and closes it was coming loose, like almost totally coming off. Quick look to call gate repair people but no luck in getting anyone to come out. As a last resort I contacted the guy that installed the gate, he said he could be here on Tuesday. Well, Tuesday turned into Wednesday but he and another guy showed up. We briefly discussed the electrical problem from a few weeks ago and then they got to work. This time they brought huge bolts with them. Thus, the gate has been fixed. It kept me home almost all weekend except for going to church. Guess since Covid is spiking it was good to stay home. 

On Saturday, I began cleaning out the flowerbeds getting everything ready for when spring rolls around. The weirdest thing, the WiFi and internet went down a minute or so of reading a friend's post that Biden had been declared President-Elect. Now that is a strange feeling and being raised by a conspiracy theorist I had to fight the thought of what this loosing internet and WiFi meant. Was it like the electrical issue from the fence cement? So, Roy contacted Spectrum. At first they said, no outage, but he tried a second time and there was a huge outage across the area when a contractor cut a fiber optic line accidentally. Once settling into the house after working most of the day outside, I finished up a book. About halfway through the book it really grabbed me in and that is where I was when Roy called and I turned on the TV. Ah, internet. I read with interest people's ideas and theories of what had happened. Alas it was none of those things, just someone not getting lines marked and cutting a major fiber optic cable. 

The days have been warm with a breeze but a cold front is supposed to arrive sometime on Sunday. Next week the highs will be in the 50s. My kind of weather. That meant it was a perfect day yesterday, after the rain to finish planting daffodils. Did that in the front and also planted two azaleas in the backyard. Have the perennial Lenten roses to plant. Not so much a rose but in the buttercup family. They need more shade so they'll likely be planted on the other side of the back porch. 

A fun day awaits, so I will feed the cats and begin the fun.....
