nothing has happened

We were warned over and over this week that we would be having more rain... and so far nothing has happened.
The paper ( Kansas City Star) says the flooding along the Missouri will continue for months. The Corps of Engineers has been releasing loads of water from the reservoirs to the North up by the Nebraska-N. Dakota area due to large amounts of rain and snow melt.  The berms have been breached all along the River and things are still so wet that repairs cannot be made.

So no rain but our summer heat has arrived. Today we reached 87 F and the house air conditioner runs most of the time. It has been a faithful system - 43 years old - new when the house was built. So Bob decided a new system was needed. Who wants the old one to quit either when it's cold or when it's hot ?  Next week is the Day.
Plus a new hot water heater and a new house shut-off valve for the water....
Hope these guys are as good as the roof ones were....

Next week we will become the grandchildrens'  source of transportation... Both parents are working and Lili needs to get to HER job and Dominic has band camp.
Lili told Bob she'd rather work than be in school... so Bob told her he always felt that way at the beginning of summer and a summer job but by the end of summer, school seemed better!

Think I lost 10 lbs this morning... had my hair cut, summer version, short!!

Your air conditioner is 43 years old? Wow! That is awesome!
