FOR JULY
We have had what we call "spaghetti wires" around here for months. They are connected to the exploration of gas in the Marcellus Shale. They had taken them up once, but they put them back down. When they took them up this time, I talked with one of the workers. He gave me a phone number. They were to have given us one when the wires were installed, so we could call if/when we needed to mow, etc. They dropped bundles of sensors and other materials by helicopter. People would come on foot and string the wires according to grids, through the woods, lawns, across roads and driveways. Since we had no way of contact, when we did mow, the wires inadvertently were cut in several different places. The telephone number was useful for the removal of the last couple packages of materials, however.
We are displaying more clocks. Frank fixed my Humming Bird and Uncle Dan's Swinging Girl clocks. We also needed a clock in the bathroom. Of course, it had to agree with our theme in there. I think we now have 25 clocks around the house, plus eight on things from the weather station to the computer to the microwave, one in the basement, and two in the garage!
I keep the girls a couple times a week while Tonya works. After John's mother died, we kept Kali, their dog, while they went to the memorial service. They left after work on a day I had the girls, and Tonya dropped off Kali's things when she left for work that morning. This is the way I watched the girls that day! Actually, the girls love to play in Kali's cage.
Frank took out the fireplace and put the stones on the wall behind it. We have both man-made stones and some I've collected from here and there over the years. Do you like it?
With that project completed, our house is officially finished!!
