Made it to the Back Forty with zero battle wounds from my trip to Acalpulco. It was a very lovely trip and I hope to go back again someday. And so we've made it to the one week mark without any damage.
The sky is currently promising rain but I'm afraid it has slipped to the south and west of us. The temps are mild enough that I haven't had to turn on the air conditioner today. The house is usually akin to a wind tunnel this time of day. The goats are looking for shelter so maybe they know something I don't when it comes to the weather forecast. I tentatively planned on going to the river but guess I will save that trip for a sunny day. I suspect that day will be right around the corner.
It will have been six days since I have been to town (trip to Little Big Town doesn't count) and around people other than family. Good grief. I am turning into a hermit. I guess that would drive most folks crazy but it has been wonderful in a way that only country folks can understand. Laurrie has been my lifeline to any news I needed to know. Rana keeps me posted on the goings-on in her part of the world. I haven't watched or listened to any national or global news since before I got married.
I have created another plumbing repair job for Mr. Sam. Seems that I overloaded the shower caddy and when it crashed today...well, it crashed in a way such that it broke (as in sheared off) the hot water control knob of the tub/shower. It just so happens that Sam and his kids are in Little Big Town today so I sent a 911 message to Mike about the plumbing situation. I feel quite sure Sam will be calling me from Lowe's or Home Depot asking me for specific information to ensure that he gets the right parts for the repair job. He had no doubt that I had screwed up something when he got the message . HA -- RIGHT ON CUE, Sam just called. Gotta get some measurements for him.....oh joy. See what I have to look forward to this evening?
