I had forgotten about it.
Our patio has turned into an storage area while they are in the process of rebuilding our kitchen where we had found a water leak.
I went out this morning, and there to my surprise was a leather Briefcase . I vaguely remember putting it out there, but that was some time ago. It’s from the days when I lived and was working in Florida. Considering that I have not put it in a box or ever covered it up, it’s in great shape. It’s not that it’s been exposed to the occupational rain, it’s been under the Patio cover next to the back wall of the house with a large box sitting on top of it. So I guess you could say it has been Protected.
Same token, I had completely forgotten about it.
Door Frame Gone.
Early this morning there was a knock on our front door and it was a plumber to remove our Hot Water Heater so that New Dry Wall can be put in our kitchen.
As soon as he started tearing out the door frame, so that he could get the Hot Water Heater out, I thought this would be a good time to take an Orlando Vacation . Our Hot Water Heater is now resting in our living room.
I knew that it wouldn’t be long before they would be making even more noise cutting the dry wall to fit. I know, I can turn off my hearing aids, so the level would be at a minimum….but really a vacation sounds like fun…Rebuilding the kitchen or not.
I like weekends.
Another happy weekend in the Seeley household.
Yesterday, we got up early in anticipation of a crew from church coming over to clean out our back yard. I refer to it as the JUNGLE. The weeds back there have almost taken over. When Miss Ellie, one of our cats goes back there, we lose sight of her, the weeds are so tall.
Anyway, the crew didn’t get here and is scheduled to be here next Saturday. But Karen and I just had a great day, spending it together and here at home quietly talking with each other and watching movies from the 40s on TV.
Didn’t think for a minute about Home Insurance, Car Insurance, or even term life insurance quotes. Those all are under control and have been for several years.
Today, we went to church and after the service staid for a Pot Luck Luncheon. We had BBQ chicken, and I could see the two BBQ grills just outside the door to the Family Rooms of our church. Good BBQ.
Yes, there were all the other things that make a gathering like that tasty to say the least. Our table was made up of people we knew but had not talked to so it was fun to talk and get to know them a little better.
Karen had fun. I had fun. So much, that on our way home, I told Karen I’ll like to do that again. That made her happy, and that’s why I’m here.
Here at home.

Our water is off this morning as the kitchen is torn apart and the appliances are removed. Why? as I told you Friday, we found a leak behind the kitchen sink and dishwater. And now begins the process to fix the problem.
With the water off, I have realized that I like taking a shower. I have dry skin and after taking a shower I feel good. Now I don’t have that dry a skin, I will never be a poster boy and appear in eczema photos , but it can bother me ever so little.
Its funny, with the water off, all I’m thinking about requires water. Had it been on, I would have never thought that I had to use water.
You think this time with the water shut off will show up in my water bill this month from the City of Scottsdale?
I didn’t either.
Water, Water, Water EveryWhere.
Yesterday afternoon, May 27th, Karen discovered a water leak that was sending water from where our Hot Water Heater is across the hall into the living room.
About an hour later, the plumber determined the the heater wasn’t leaking, but the pipes behind the Kitchen Sink and Dishwasher. To the point that would mean the kitchen cabinets would have to be removed and the wall dried out.
So now our kitchen is blocked off from the rest of the house and there are two fan/heaters in there drying the room and wall out.
The kitchen right now could be classed as a top fat burner, as with the AC vent blocked and the two doorways blocked off, the temp in there is hot to say the least.
Yes, those are French Fries on the table, dinner came from IN/out Burger last night. We cant use the sink or dishwasher and I don’t want to cook anything on the stove.
I would fry in there.
I want to build.
For a house in the city, we have a good sized back yard. And when we think of adding to our house, our first choice would be there.
In my mind, adding a new Master Bedroom suite with Large Walk-in Closet, Bathroom and Laundry Room would be the way to go. I have also been thinking of adding an office for Karen with at least one, maybe two walls of glass to use the Arizona Sun to it’s fullest.
We all ready have a Patio back there, and there is enough room to build around it and I would certainly look at outdoor fireplaces . Adding one would be a welcome addition to our house.
My only question at this point, do I have a RICH Uncle who thinks of me as his favorite and is in his 90s?
One more visit.
Looks like this is the last visit to our Hummingbird nest in our front yard.
