Showers

We have been having late afternoon and evening thunderstorms everyday. Not a lot of rain from these, but the clouds keep the temps down. Floyd had to cut the grass today, lol. We get spoiled since the desert doesn't normally give us much moisture.

We had a nice lunch last Saturday, Chinese! Good company, too. We had a silly thing happen here. We have a small house, but the ceilings are very high. So when we have to do something toward the ceiling, like clean a ceiling fan or clean the walls, it just doesn't get done. Well, we have an abundance of smoke detectors, I don't know why but Stewart just kept installing them. When the battery goes, they make this awful high-pitched beeping sound. Floyd tries, but never can fix them so we call the local electrician. The electrician didn't show and the beeping drove the dogs crazy. Casey ran outside, stayed out all night two nights in a row, which she never does. The weather was really nice, thank goodness. Baby who sleeps in my bed, tried to sleep on top of me and Duke was very restless all night as was Floyd so we didn't get much sleep this past weekend. Then this morning early, Floyd figured out that he had actually fixed the one in the hallway because it wasn't beeping anymore, but the one on the wall in the hallway was, so it was easy to get to, he changed the battery and we had peace and quiet. I finally was able to coax Casey inside, lol. I mean, being old is an experience, I can tell you.
