Reunion

Neither one of us have been feeling great and we stayed up a bit late Friday night so we slept til almost noon Saturday.  When we finally did getup we just sat on the couch and played games.  While we were sitting there, we realized the house was getting hotter and hotter.  I could hear the blower going so thought maybe we had waited too long to change the filter and the cooler had frozen up.  I went outside and saw no ice, but saw something else.  The a/c unit wasn't on, the fan on top wasn't going.  I checked the thermostat and it was on cool.  Great.  I went out to the unit and is was making an electrical buzz.  Its dead. Nothing can be done about it right now.

Mom called and asked if we could go pick up Aunt Mary so we left, stopped at the store for a few things, went and picked her up and headed for the reunion.  We had a great time.  I love visiting with everyone and participating in the auction.  We didn't come away with much this year tho.I really wanted a wood carving Uncle Wayne had made, but it got up too high for us.  There is a bowling pin that my cousin Mindy put in the auction a few years ago with a pair of eyes drawn on it.  We wan it, took it home and added a tie and a few other things and took it back the next year.  It now circulates and whoever wins it has to add something and bring it back the next year.  We have missed out on getting it two years in a row now.  Next year tho, we'll get you Mr Pin, next year...

We had a nice visit again with Mary on the way home.  She lives not too far from Andy's mom, and even tho it was late, we decided to call and see if she was up.  She was and so we stopped in at 10:00 and visited until almost 2:00 it was really nice.  We sat on her patio and visited for a bit and then went in.  She  made us her yummy chicken cabbage salad for a midnight meal.  Love that salad.

It really sucked coming home that late to a house that was 84 degrees tho.
