More digging, everything seems to be hooked up. Everything flushing nicely.
Putting the dirt back where he found it.
Buttoned up for the day, most holes filled, tomorrow, cement the sidewalk and fix the road. I pray earnestly that nothing breaks for at least ten years. Thank you.
Husband warned me that I might want to park in back when I came home today.
The plumbers/diggers came today to excavate a deepish hole to locate water and sewer hookup. That is some nice looking dirt, not a rock to be had. Since half the lawn is dug up and the other half is buried under some fine dirt, we may consider a little sprinkle of grass seed.
I had to appear in court today as a witness. We had dutifully sent off copies of records to the lawyers and all however they released all of the physicians from the case so they were forced to drag in custodians of the records to swear they were the real deal.
Raise yer right hand....
Do you so swear?
Yes, sir.
Be seated.
Lawyer introduced me, presented the copies of the medical records and asked me if they were the records of name, date of birth etc.
Yes.
Please examine them.
I fluffled through them and commented that I saw records from another hospital mixed in with the Coquille records.
Then an argument developed between the three lawyers and the judge.
Consensus reached, the Court will accept the records from CVH with the records from SCH redacted.
That means they took out the wrong hospitals copies and gave them to the court.
You may be excused.
Thank you! (Big cheesy smile)
Um, hospitals do not ordinarily release OTHER Hospitals medical records because they are the property of the other hospital y'see.
Learnt that in HIM101. Yeppers.
Today was the First Annual Block Party. Which implies there will be one next year. Yeah! Invite brother from Elkton to pick and grin. Lets have T-shirts! Lets have silly contests. Lets do Iron Chef Coquille. Lets invite all of our friends. The weather was perfect. The pickled green tomatoes went over well. People really liked the crab potato salad.
Didn't have to drag much home. About 20 to 25 people showed up. The local constabulary dropped off some traffic cones and yellow barrier tape.
We met lots of neighbors and chatted, it was nice.
Look back up at the first picture, the "Grapes of Wrath" house is the red one on the right, chatted with the owner. Asked him what led him to purchase that property. He said had been looking for a fixer upper and was attracted by the lot thinking of demolishing the house and putting in a modular home. The more he looked at it, the more he saw worth saving. They have shingles going up on the roof and it is vastly improved.
Oh and we met Miss Chicken. She is very social, loves hot dog buns and vodka tonic. She even took a little nap by my chair but left when the kids began playing on the water slide and playing hop scotch in the street.
Well,well, well! Look it's Mom's old Sears Catalog oak table that Dad purchased at an auction in the 70's and which she refinished using Homer Formby's refinishing products. She put new seat covers on the chairs and had Clair Harden carve a new crossbar foot piece. The table and chairs have served well as nearly to ceiling vertical filing space for various empty boxes, food stuff and other items. The rebuild of the store room has allowed for most of those goods to be stored in there. Hazzah! Played lots of Pinochle and Scrabble games at that table.
I had commented to my neighbor across the street that with all the neighborly sprucing up we should probably have a block party. It went from there, if you are in the neighborhood, drop in noon to five tomorrow, there will be burgers, bring a side.
I am making three kinds of potato salad; crab, halibut and plain.
We had an HIM student from Bend here this week for directed practice. Her whole family came with, rented a beach house in Coos Bay, she came to work every day and her family took the boat and brought back large amounts of fresh crab and a halibut. She brought in a dozen or so cooked crab, we cried thank you! and I brought home two and I picked out the meat. The halibut was cooked also and I will break up the steaks into one of the other salads. Should be good weather. I will take pictures of the "Grapes of Wrath" house. The owner has had a crew putting on a new roof.
Will report later tomorrow.
Finally have the last bit shoehorned into the storage wall. The book case that husband purchased fit perfectly in the corner. We did some re-arranging to make things fit in, have most of the dining room cleaned out. Will take a picture of that event. Ooh look an empty spot!!
We have HOT water, the family plumber came by and installed a made-in-America hot water heater and is energy efficient!
Also had a short term crisis, the heat pump was not pumping heat this morning until husband took a closer look at the electric panel and flipped a circuit. Heat!! Warm those toes right up.
That was interesting, fills the space nicely,can now drag more goods up from the basement. Yay! And yes I washed my clothes in cold water this morning...at least I have water with which to wash.
