Morning Susan.  We put in Laminate flooring about 9 years ago.

Our grands are all much older than that.  Sad but had to happen.

Our refrigerator freezer stopped cooling enough.  I noticed I didn't always hear the relay on the control board click when I plugged it in.  The relay controls the compressor and the fans.  So I replaced it and looks like we are good.  That's dollars I didn't want to spend right now.  Our last frig was 25 years old and still worked when I gave it to a friend for a garage beer frig.  The shelves were starting to rust.  One we have now is much younger.

Have a good day.

sometimes eating restrictions are too hard to follow....sometimes I just want a hamburger and fries too....and I don't have restrictions but shouldn't eat too much beef anymore.....no results on the testing....and still haven't picked colors to replace the purple and orange  would love to do it all...but we can't  paint or do anything inside until after the closing and we haven't a clue when that will be...

And what kind of appliance lasts 25 year?   I had an Amana once....side by side in Green that lasted forever.  I got tired of the color!

On hold now for 25 plus minutes waiting for the IRS Tax agent.  Seems I mailed my Federal Return in a timely manner....they CASHED my check within two weeks ~ and YESTERDAY, I received a letter complete with penalties and interest that I had not paid it.  NEVER in my entire life have I been remiss in checks.  So, now here I am on hold trying to figure out why they say I never paid.  As a sidenote....if the government can't properly credit you with the money you sent...how in the heck is this mail in balloting going to work????

Sunny here.  Cleaning lady was called in.  Can't do all of this.  Had granddaughter for three days and Jim's family this week-end.  Way too much.   ((hugs))  Susan

Morning Kitty.  We bought our original place before the tornado and it wouldn't have passed the tests.  Hope yours passes.

My weight and glucose weren't up so working on the antenna all day must have cancelled out the effects of the relaxed diet.

Painting will give you something to do in the future I guess.

We bought some new concrete blocks for the Winter pool cover since I used old ones for a barrier to keep mud out of the lower drainage ditch.

Have a good day.

Morning Susan.  It was a GE frig but the new one is also a GE and didn't last nearly as long before we had to fix it.

They are two different government agencies so hope the votes count and also that you get your tax payment straightened out.

We're going to a memorial for a friend that died today, second one in last 30 days.  Before that ten years since last one.

I need to go to the Farmers Market first and our 8 mile walk before that.

Have a good day.

Ernie

Good morning Ernie.....no news about anything....getting restless for it all to happen.....patience is a virtue which I don't have....spend the time when we should be sleeping....imagining paint colors.....arranging the furniture in the living room.....etc....also getting thru the surgery to take place in a hospital that isn't hometown.....

Morning Kitty.  Raining a little here so might be late heading out on our walk, 7 or so maybe.

We went to the memorial for our friend, we should have stayed in touch better after they moved away but probably everyone says that.

Bridge was out on the route there so we had to put the car on a different road and relie on the GPS.

Hope nobody else dies for a while.

Have a good day Kitty.

your comment about staying in touch with friends hit home....we do lose contact with friends over the years....have several of those situations....sometimes friends fit with your life at certain types and then we kind of move on.....and have new friends....I have tried reconnecting a couple of times and it doesn't seem to work....several years ago I ran into an old friend....as couples we had been very close helping each other when we had new babies etc....then we both ended up divorced and meeting new husbands and nothing fit anymore....we talked and confirm a desire to reconnect....with promises to call each other....within a week she had a surgical procedure and died.....tough spot...our weather is partly cloudy...not expecting rain....stay well...

Morning Kitty.  Sorry your friend died.  We've had way to much of that lately.

Rode my bike to a neighboring town yesterday.  Bike was missing part of the time, have an idea what might be wrong.

Bike is an 82 so a little old.

61 this morn, chilly but not like Saturday's 49.

Have good day Kitty.

Ernie

One degree warmer here  62 at the moment....and your bike is old enough..time for a new one...nothing special happening here   just a couple of friends to see...one for lunch and the others for tea/wine?  have a good one....
