Ok. We had one of the strangest mornings! The bug spray man comes tomorrow to spray around the house so Don always washes off the patio the day before he comes. He started spraying this morning but had to quit because black clouds suddenly appeared with thunder and plenty of lightning. We had a sudden heavy rainfall but it didn't even last five minutes.
It rained enough to let us know that our eave troughs and downspouts definitely need attention. We have Jose on call.
Just as it quit, Tita from the fire department showed up to replace our 20 year old smoke alarms as promised. They brought in their tall ladder and it only took them about 15 minutes to replace the three alarms.
I missed getting a photo of Tita playing with the cats. They were certainly excited to have so much activity in the house....plus the rumble of thunder outside. I'm surprised that Kat didn't try climbing the ladder.
Thank you to Tita and Bill for the wonderful service. Need your alarms replaced and don't have access to a tall ladder? Sign up in the Activities office. When they get 10 names, they will contact the Fire Dept. and arrange a date. The whole program is run with available volunteers so you'll have to be patient.
Now Don is back outside with the hose to finish washing the driveway. What a crazy morning. All that happened within one hour.
I'm excited about going up to the Cafe for lunch today as I want to see how Taco Tuesday is served.
Google Memories sends me a couple pictures from previous years. This one popped up so thought I'd share it with you. This was taken on August 5, 2015 when they were first mapping out the sports pool.
