CHORES, CHORES, CHORES



We have been busy with all the chores that needed to be done to make our little home away from home livable, for the next three months that we will be down here.  Dan got busy and replaced both of our damaged roof vents. 








This time we replaced them with metal ones, because the plastic ones just don't last in the intense summer heat and sun down here.  The plastic gets very brittle and shatters easily. 






We also got out all our patio furniture, which of course all needed washing down, being very dirty from being stored for nine months.  It has starting to be a little more homey, but we are still having problems with telephone service and television service.  We don't have either one.  I am waiting for a new SIM card for my cell phone, which apparently won't be here until next week.  The television service would be easily solved if I had a phone.  There in lies the rub. 



I still have to get some plants for my planters and the Grapefruit Tree definitely needs pruning.  But we will slowly get to it all. 

Sea-Enna has recovered from her trauma of the long drive down here.  She is loving it.  She is outside most of the time, just like at the lake.  So, that makes her happy.
