Our day started late yesterday as we slept-in until after 12:30. Nothing was scheduled except to rest up and allow our muscles to recover from the last 2 nights.
We were just sitting around watching the TV shows we copied from Sunday and Monday night when the wind started blowing. We had been getting rain (.50") the last two days, but the wind started gusting and blowing everything around. We raised our awning and noticed that Karen & George's awning was flopping up and down next door, and they were still at work. One of their tie-downs came loose and the awning was about to fly off when Josie and I rushed over and fought the wind to raise it into the closed position. We managed to do it before any damage was done. They signed up for part-time work and work half the hours we work. They also have a nice schedule of 11-4 every week day. So, when they got out of work at 4 PM yesterday, they were nearly blown away by the wind and they thought for sure their awning was history. Needless to say, they were relieved when they arrived home and found it stowed and ok. The winds eventually slowed by around 6 PM, but it continued to rain off and on the rest of the day and night. It was a good day to do nothing.
We are going to get our grocery shopping done this morning and then figure out where we might start our fun activities. So far, we have been enjoying the relaxation from our strenuous work days. There are some very interesting places to go, so we hope to have some interesting stuff to report. Until tomorrow...
