Good afternoon. Mark has just left for his chiropractor appointment. Tree branch cutting and hauling has done him in. We still have half the backyard to tidy but it certainly is getting "back to normal." I had five loads of laundry to catch up on. Clothes went in the hamper pretty quickly after working outside in 90° sunshine. We have the air conditioning cranking today drying the house out. 

Several months ago we buried a St. Joseph statue upside down in the backyard of the abandoned house across the street. The place has been empty since our neighbor Jack passed away about 2008. His daughter who lives in New York State refused to sell it for all these years ... doesn't maintain the house and never comes to use it. Anyway, it was listed for sale today! Yay St. Joseph ... finish your work! 😇

Our friend Nancy stopped in to return our cooler and ice packs. We were so excited to tell her that the property across the street is listed for sale. She thought the price was not too bad at 200,000 and that perhaps the neighborhood should buy it for a community party and pool area plus space for dock rental. I'm sure that's just a pipe dream as most of the people in our neighborhood already live on the water and have pools. But hey, it's not a bad idea. 

Sue and Wayne are rolling along on their way home to Florida. They will stop in Nashville for a night or two. Fortunately they seem to have had very good weather but mentioned there's a lot of truck traffic on the roads. 

Ohio River barges ... a beautiful area. 

Pam is a proud mom today. Her son Daniel was on TV ... 

👍🏻 We're pretty proud too! There's a lot of talent in our families. Here's the link:

A small thunderstorm moved through tonight. I hope everyone's roofs stay watertight. Ta Ta.
