No longer on the river and, again, an empty nester. Back to living on Fleming Island and making some more friends!

Rain, rain, go away

Almost all day long it's been like this---rain, rain, rain, flash of lightning, boom of thunder, rain, rain, rain. Not always hard, but pretty much steady. Those who know say this is exactly what is needed for our soil, and to reduce the fire danger. Of course, lightning does NOT help with that!
                     
Justin stayed the night at the new house, going over there almost immediately after work last night. His tail was dragging but he headed straight to the new house to help get things ready for the housewarming party which is tonight. He invited me to come to the party, but I have opted to stay in rather than brave the roads on this rain-soaked day. 
                                                    
The other night Ron and he tried their hand at installing a toilet ("We have one working toilet in the house!") and last night were installing ceiling fans and other lights. I hope they got it all ready plus had what they needed to make it a party.

This late morning my car came home to me. It was delivered to my parking space by Vince, the owner of Norris Automotive. He drove it many miles in an attempt to get it to act up but no luck. He told me that he ran all the diagnostics on the engine and stuff which came up as being in good working order. So, it must be my imagination playing tricks on me. I hope and pray he is right, have to trust him. But I also have to trust my car...sigh....

Today I made a batch of spaghetti which I enjoyed for lunch and for dinner. My, it is tasty! It is not easy to mess up such a dish but it is easy to mess up my stove, sink, and cooking utensils. Thankful for the new dishwasher to take care of the mess for me. Still in the process of deciding what to serve next Sunday for my guests...I am just so excited about having a feast. It's been a while, probably since ThanksLiving in 2011. 

Have a great Palm Sunday all! "Hosanna in the highest!"
