sewer problems continue

This is one of those times I wish I was home. If I was home I would know who to call with my problems with the sewer and I would not have to wait for a landlord because I own the house...My landlord did finally call, he is the nicest man, he has been out of state the last 4 days.  He was a doll about the whole thing, if you have to have a landlord they don't come any better then him.

It was a hurry up and wait kind of day, waiting for phone calls. I did go get some stuff to put in the septic that is suppose to break up any hard crust from it setting and not being used so long and hopefully when I get up in the morning it will be all fixed.  Prayers everyone!  Sewer problems are not fun.

I broke the little prong off my nook charger so I am without a nook. I can't gripe to much as I am finishing my book on my droid. That screen is so small it makes for lots of page turning.

See everyone in the morning. Count your blessings, it sure helps you get to sleep and you never run out of sheep and it is a whole lot more fun and does wonders for your mental health.

sewer problems

Last evening was not a fun evening. I was going to get ready to go to my gospel concert and decided I should empty the black tank. Bad decision as the sewer ran for about 1 minute and then backed up and squirted back up...YUCK! STINK!

I tried to call the landlord in Montana and no one was home, I sure hope he did not go on vacation. I looked in my little book the chamber of commerce gave me and nothing about septic people. Now who do I get to empty the stinking thing. One time I wish I was at home then I would know who to call!  This flat sucks and I did not get much emptied before the blow up so not only do I have a full septic tank, I have a full black tank.

Guess I had better get off her and see if I can find someone.  Have a great day everyone

Painting

Well I actually tried to paint something yesterday. I think I forgot how. It is so much faster, easier and prettier when I take a picture but it was a lot of fun.

I have to try and find my water colors today because I have something I want to try and paint in water colors. I am also going to try and burn some of my yard clippings today.

Tomorrow is art club again and I have to try and decide what I am going to work on. Mom is still busy painting away every day most of the day. She kind of over did it yesterday as she painted so many hours her back got sore and so did her arms.

Everyone have a great day

Band Scramble

What a fun day, spent the whole day listening to music. I wish I could post a picture of everyone I liked but I just had to put my all time favorites on here.  It was fun to be a judge. When they first said Band Scramble and I knew they had money prizes I thought it was just a contest where people form a band and try to win but it isn't. It is a real challenge, they put everyone's name in a can depending on what instrument they play and then they draw the names. When four people are drawn you have a band and they have about 20 minutes to group together and then they play.You luck out if you get someone that can play a lot of songs or is any good. It really was fun.

Mom did not go but she painted all day and had a blast. She also fell out of her chair last night. She was reaching way out to get something and tipped her chair over but luckily she did not get hurt as she was already on the floor because what she was reaching for was on the floor.

My poor dogs thought I had deserted them as I have not left them for more then an hour since I retired and when I left all day they were sure glad to see me last night.  Hank is a good dog, Paco not so good. He has got where he minds me better but with mom he thinks it is a big game. He loves grabbing stuff and taking off and playing catch me if you can with her.  If he gets outside the does the same thing to her and stays just out of her reach. He loves to snuggle with her though.

They had a plane poker run here yesterday so planes were in and out. Something is always happening here to entertain you.  My favorite is music night on Wednesday and when I get to go drive around and take pictures. Mom favorite is art club day. Two of the people I have met, one from Washington and one from Oregon own houses right on the airport, their hanger attaches to their house like our garages do. They were telling me they have a real problem with people driving on the runway. The other day and big motor home pulling a car went right down the runway like it was a road.  I wonder what they thought all those blue lights on both sides of the road met and I know they did not read the signs.

Going to clean house and paint today. Have a great day everyone!

My favorite and an audience favorite banjo player. He puts his heart and soul and body into his playing

The blue grass band that played after the band scramble. They are fun and really good
