MONDAY WITH POSSIBLE SHOWERS
Posted: Mon Aug 02, 2010 6:24 amGOOD MORNING ALL!
This is the week of the Ruckus in the Mountains, and the sky is heavy, greyish, and the temperature is a good deal warmer. Scattered rain showers are predicted for this afternoon. Actually, rain is predicted for the first three days this week, so let's hope things get better as the days march on. No matter what the weather brings, however, there is my huge shelter here for all of us to sit under. We can even carry the screen rooms into the shelter, should the evenings become mosquitoey.
Today I have a doc appointment at noon to have a skin lesion cut off, will then go across the street to do some last minute grocery shopping, and back here I will come to greet whomever might show up early. I got an email from Richard the Roofer yesterday, and he is the only one, as far as I know, who might show today.
It sounds as if my plan for some cold meats and tuna/noodle salad will be the menu for the arrival days, so that anyone can eat whenever hunger strikes, and we won't have to plan for a sit-down meal-as-we-cook it. I will also have some recipe ready to go, maybe some jello shots, plenty of coffee and cocoa. Whatever evolves from there remains to be seen! The lawn is all mowed, the limbs all trimmed from the trees on the driveway in, and the wire-lifter pole will be in place for those with big rigs. Let the games begin!
Joe will be brush-hogging trails today, and cutting down dead trees. Mandy will be returning to her place for the day, but will be back here tonight. There are still many brushy trees I need to take down later, along with those stumps I didn't have the time to cut back yesterday. I may do that this morning before I take a bath and head to the doc's.
I hope you all are having a fun day wherever you are. If you are within shooting distance of the Ruckus, come on over and join us!
I will try to keep up with pictures as the days go on. News just said there is a thunderstorm between us and the neighboring town....ACK! Maybe it will stay south of us as they have been doing this summer.
Off I go---things to do! Happy Monday!

At least it wasn't hot, but will probably get hot and muggy this afternoon. I'm sure I looked real cute with my soaking wet red COE hat, wet shirt, rain pants, and rubber boots 
Sure made me appreciate my shower when I was done!
That is the only good thing that comes out of that bunch 
I held onto it when sold most everything else as I loved it so much! It was very modern and ergonomic. I removed the extra bucket seat in Myrtle and had put it in here. It was a bit too wide for the spot and hung over my stairwell a little. I really wasn't using it much, as it was awkward to move around. I would like to get one of those reclining chairs like I saw someone post a pic of on the forum. I hope I can find it.
