Blog Entry: It sure is and Papa's, too! We are so tired from all the traveling and work we've been doing. Papa is taking the day off but I still have some odds and ends to take of but I wanted to write a Blog before our computer gets sent in to HP Monday. If you don't already know we have a brand new computer and have never been able to get any sound, even after, hooking three sets of speakers to it. We took it back to Staples, where we got it, and the Tech looked at it there and called HP for help. After about 1.5 hours and a lot of messing with it, it still didn't have a sound. It was decided we'd send it back to the company and have them check it out and repair it first hand. After recently going without a computer for five months a week or so won't be bad. We're not addicted to it like we earlier was! But we will still miss it. I'll get some more work done around that's for sure! Papa Allen has all the new appliances taken care of for the micro-wave that goes over the range. He's been working on our back porch and will do that after he gets a little more done. He tore up the floor yesterday and put insulation down there and, of course, put the floor back down. He wants to finish putting insulation in the walls so we can panel it next month. He also has three new windows and two doors to put on it and one new door for the kitchen. Looks like I'll be doing some painting while he's working on other things. I can't believe it is 89 degrees here! The humidity is 45% and we had to turn the AC's off because we were freezing. And we're still cold and have the back door open! Weird!! But it really does feel good. It was supposed to rain again last night and, of course, it didn't. We did get 1/2" last week, though but it didn't do too much good for a lot of things. Allen keeps his tomatoes watered and they're doing good. He's been bringing some in and the others are ripening quickly. I'll have my hands full of those soon! I chop them up and put them in the freezer, instead of, canning. Canning is just too hard on me in the last few years. They will last us until next spring. After Papa gets the micro-wave up he's putting a new floor in. Next month we will get our new counter tops and sink. This winter we'll paint the walls and cabinets again. And work on the bathroom at that time, too. He still has to shingle but it might just wait until spring. It seems he can work a day or two for about four hours and has to rest up for a couple of days; sometimes a week. His condition is getting much worse. He (and I) have been having a lot of spasms, too. When they get into the feet and up the front of our legs---well, that is very painful. The last two nights I've gotten very little sleep as a result of having. Papa hasn't done much better. Our doctor tells us our Fibromyalgia is getting worse when that happens. Coupled with osteoarthritis we're both in great shape!! I've gone on much to long and I still have a few things to file away so I'll let you get to another Blog. Take care, Dear Friends and we'll be back soon. Much Love, Junie & Papa Allen
