I did chores then we all had breakfast. I gave g-son a choice of three things to do today, park , Carl Sandburg's, or swimming at daughter's. I was thinking he might be tired of swimming pools but that is what he chose.
We got things ready and got our swim suits on and headed over to her apartment.
G-daughter IR is mesmerized by g-son's attentions right now and it is so cute how she looks at him so intently.
RL is also a real water lover and she has so much fun.
IR got this float for her birthday yesterday and she loved riding around on the water in it.
It didn't take long this morning even in the cool pool water for the heat of the day to wear everyone out.
Daughter and IR went to pick up Addie from camp and the rest of us went to the Ingles next door to the pool to have lunch.
We knew if we didn't feed RL before we got in the car to come home she would go to sleep without lunch.
We ate and she fell right to sleep as soon as we hit the road.
She slept a good nap when we got home while I got the weekly laundry started and g-son and hubbie stayed outside.
Today was the hottest day of the year so far with a temp over 91 degrees.
When g-daughter RL woke up she wanted to play outside for a while.
We had some cold cantaloupe for a snack on a hot summer day.
Daughter brought IR and Addie over to use the computer and all the kids had fun in the new swing.
I took time this afternoon to put a call in to Duke Power to get them to schedule an appointment for someone to check the burned power line as each time it rains our lights blink dim and bright alternately so we think the line may be burned worse than originally thought.
The man I talked to had a hard time understanding what I was asking them to do so I totally expected to have to put in another report before anything was done. However much to our surprise a Duke Power truck came driving up about 8:00 this evening.
Come to find out they now work a second shift and with no power outages and the good weather of today he had time to check our line out.
He found the problem wasn't actually the burned line but he patched it anyway but the real problem was the fuse the squirrels keep knocking out on top of our transformer. It was really loose and flopping around in the wind causing the voltage to fluctuate. So we got both problems solved at the same time. I'm sure the neighbors weren't real happy as their power also had to be turned off for the 45 minutes it took to fix these lines.
Hubbie and I spent a restful evening.
Thankful for the blessing of this day.
God Bless and Good Night
