For the past two days, I have found the annoying armadillo that lives under my house roaming around in my backyard. I really wish it would move out, surely there are other houses more interesting than our humble abode! Maybe I should write a children's book about this critter, that would be a lot of fun to do and I think that I could probably draw an armadillo without too much effort. Hmmm, I will have to think about this. Anyway, today was hot. This afternoon at some point I looked at the thermometer that is on our front porch in the shade and and it read 101 degrees. I missed the weather tonight so I don't know what the "official" temp was.
My parents finished taking up their wood floors this morning at 12:45 so the workers could begin fixing their foundation and guess who NEVER showed up. Hopefully they will come tomorrow. It is amazing how different a house looks when it is completely emptied (with the exception of the sofa and piano) and the wood floor is up and the carpets pulled up. I haven't seen the house like that since 1976 when we moved in. My parents have worked so hard these last few days getting everything ready and they are totally wiped out. I wish they could go away for a couple of weeks but they have too much on their plates here so here they will stay. Have I ever mentioned how AWESOME my parents are? They are such hard workers in everything they do. When I grow up, I hope to be like them.
Well, it is late and I have to get up early in the morning to get some yard work done before it is too hot. Hope everyone had a good day.
Happy Monday!
