I just came home from morning errands to find my street blocked by serious PUD equipment. Seems they’re doing major electrical work that they neglected to tell anybody about.
I have now apparently been “officially” notified that my power will be out most of the day today. Thank heaven I have no deadlines. But I had hoped to catch up on email. I’m seriously overdue with a few people. Sorry, guys; you’ve waited this long and now you’ll have to wait a few hours longer. (And no, I haven’t gotten that generator yet and it’s still going to be a while.)
I’ll take this opportunity to shingle a wall. See ya’ll later.
And thanks for the BIG boost to the roof-raiser today. Much appreciated!

Your Paypal button seems non-functional for me. Can I just send directly using your e-mail address?
No need to worry about replying to my ridiculously chatty email. This week’s news turned out to be bigger than expected, and resulting in bigger headaches too, LOL.
We need pix of the wall of shingles 🙂
jed — Yes, anybody who has my email address can just send a PayPal contribution that way. Thanks for thinking of it; I’d forgotten you could do that!
Just read an astounding dog story, apparently she was given away then got loose and went the 30 miles to get back home only to be rejected a second time. Then hit the lotto of owners ! http://www.inquisitr.com/1394319/heiress-adopts-lady-dog-who-walked-30-miles-home-gets-heiress-love/
Oh, that’s fantastic, naturegirl! Definitely adding that one to a links post tomorrow! Poor dog, going through so much.
