ROAD CLOSED

GOTTA LOVE  MOUNTAIN SUMMER MORNINGS !!!!


No g-son this morning as he is spending time with his other g-ma today.  Hopefully she can get him over his fear of basketball camp by 1:00, you go Deb !!!
I hurried through chores and breakfast to get over to Asheville to do some shopping before my dr's appointment at 11:30.
As I got to the end of our drive way I saw the road closed signs in place and they were already tearing up the pavement of the old road.  The state DOT inspector came over to the van and talked to me about what they were going to do and asked me some questions about the flood waters when they came.  He is concerned that the plans are not going to handle all the water that flows through there in a bad flood. I told him I knew it wouldn't as we have been saying that the bridge should be longer all along.
I guess only time will tell !!!
I got all my shopping done before the dr's appointment and it was a good thing as when she checked out a lump on my back right beside my spine she sent me immediately for an X-ray. They will send the results to the doctor tomorrow. I pray that it is nothing serious.
I was in and out of the radiology center in no time at all and still made it home at the same time I was expecting to be here.
The road crew was done for the day by the time I got home at 1:30 so I don't know what is going on now.

After a late lunch I did housework all afternoon.  The day was a hot one with a high of 88 degrees and clouds took over as the afternoon wore on.
I worked in the basement trying to get things re-arranged down there until it was supper time.
After supper and chores hubbie and I relaxed out on the patio. It seems strange for no cars to be passing on the road but the quiet sure is nice.
I can't wait to see how things look after they are finished. He told me today that our drive will be paved almost up to #1 son's house. He also asked if I knew how old the pavement on this road was because they had never taken up pavement that thick.  I am almost 60 years old and it has been paved for as long as I can remember.
 The rains came and ran hubbie and I inside . It rained for a couple hours slowly and more is expected overnight.  I am so thankful for the rain to give the garden a nice drink.
I put an Avon order on line and caught up on my blog reading tonight.
Grateful to God for the blessings of this day and prayerfully asking that it be His will that this lump not be anything to worry about.
Good Night and God Bless.

I am praying that your x-ray results come back negative. Why is it that city engineers never seem to listen to the local folk that know the area inside and out? Oh well, they have the degree, right? Blessings
