Where do you do all that cooking, LadyM? You've probably told us before.
DD/Dsonil just left for the Orlando hockey game. Dh was supposed to go but he's too sick to go. Feeling a little better tonight but he wouldn't if he went for all those hours and he also doesn't want to spread it.
Dh and I went this morning to have our nails cut. Painful for me, but it's done for another 6 weeks. I just can't do it myself any more and my toe nails are so curved it's a bit hard for her. Think next time I'm going to soak mine for about a 1/2 hour before we go.
DS-A (and many, many others) had quite a night up home. Next town had a huge house fire and all the companies in surrounding towns were called in. Think they had 7 companies. Then about 4:30/5 this morning an apartment complex just down the road (probably a mile or so) burned. Again all these companies plus some from Rochester were called. Temp was about 5 and wind chill anywhere from 10-15 below. Those guys all have to be exhausted. Everyone escaped from both structures. Understand there were 4 apartments destroyed and damage to others. Know our department had a work detail going on this afternoon to get all the equipment stocked and reorganized and cleaned.
DD and dsonil dragged 2 mattresses out by the trash can a while ago. When they pick up the trash tomorrow the crew will notify the county that there's mattresses to be picked up. Hopefully that won't be too long. (At least that's the way it's supposed to work). Now they're out of the garage and maybe we can start doing some organizing out there. We gave them the assembly to turn their porch light into a motion light. That way dsonil won't have to remember to turn the porch light on for her and it'll also be a safety device if anyone walks up on the porch. Plus if the light is on for any length of time the mosquitoes find that area big time. A sheriff stopped here a few weeks ago to ask where some people might live. Poor girl was batting at those pesky mosquitoes like mad. Certain times they're really bad.
