Hi everyone. We've had a nice spring day here. Temp. is only 81* now. We do need some rain; the grass here is still dry and not growing much yet.
We've had a bulldozer/backhoe combo parked in our front yard all week. I woke up early one morning to the sound of the dozer dumping all kinds of yard debris on the spot where the tree fell over last fall ( the hole was never filled in or planted with grass). So we watched and later that day orange cones appeared and the sidewalk was painted with arrows indicating where the sidewalks were uneven, broken etc. County workers (we live in unincorporated county area) have been moving throughout the neighborhood digging out the sidewalks needing replaced. At one time they stacked broken pieces of sidewalk on our lawn, actually on the right of way between sidewalk and street. Yesterday they set the forms and poured cement, but when they got to our sections they ran out of cement.
This morning they had to score and dig out a section that they poured yesterday and recement that and finish the end they missed. This is the first time in the 32 years we have lived here that I know of a total neighborhood repair. There are 500 homes here; it will be nice when we take a walk to be on a flat even surface!
Dh is known as "Papa" to all our dgrandkids and I am Grandma. When ds#3's daughter was just starting to talk she started calling me Judy and with her dparents' persistent suggesting she eventually learned to call me "GrandmaJudy". Sometimes her dbro uses that term, but not as much as she does. I remember when I was very young calling my dad by his first name. So it tickled me when dgd20 did that with me also! My dmom was called Nana. I never knew either of my grandmothers and only my dmom's dfather. We always called him Grandpa. My ddad's father was never close to us, he died when I was about 12 years old. I think I would have called him Granddad.
It is good to hear that
Dee's dh is home again; hope he is recovering well.
Cathy, feel better soon.
Dh has had three doctor appointments in the last two weeks and has had good reports for the most part from all of them. Primary doctor has upped his thyroid RX a little, so maybe he won't feel as cold or tired now.
Happy Birthday, Sadie. I'm sorry I missed greeting you yesterday.
Supper is ready.....
