Yeah, Sunshine!

Had enough rain for awhile for sure.  First it threatened our party, then it made us worry about flooding again.  Our was under more water that the day before the party.

That's just the west side.  What made me nervous was the east side was beginning to fill up.  This being a really old (and not well designed) house, the well pump is in a attached house on that side.  It was beginning to rise up to it's door and I was worried it would get in and short out the electric to it.  Fortunately the sun came out and things have dried up nicely. 
 
Jack bought a wireless printer, you know the kind you can send to it from whereever you are.  Have spent 2 weeks trying to get it set up for that and have only manage to set it up the way a regular printer works.  Had to call the co. to get that done.  Have again contacted them a few times for help and get nothing but emails to call and then get put on hold.  We have followed the instructions step by step every which way it can be done and get the same no result.  I'm about to drowned the dam thing.  We have WiFi for our laptops, kindle and iPad, the router has the button it says to push etc.  I just don't understand it.  Guess we amateurs just aren't smart enough.  Emailing them again with a grousing about being put on hold too.
 
Sister Jodi is having a bone spur removed from her foot Fri. so I'll be taking her to the hospital and home.  She will be off work for 6 weeks, but has to get it done before they close up shop here and move to California.  She will be out of a job. 
 
So sad about the firefighters in Arizona.  I feel so for their families.  It was one of the things I feared the most when Jack was one.  God Bless them all.

  2. That is a lot of water! I'm glad you were able to function. My wife and Mom both have wireless printers. I set both up but for the life of me don't really remember how...they seem to function...I think God is kind to folks like me...whew.

  3. I deal with firefighters from time to time at the store and they are gentlemen. Always being on call to face who knows what and risking their lives to save others. I have nothing but respect.

    We had our share of rain and mid 90's temps last month and this month is featuring some really oppressive humidity. We even have had tornado warnings today. Something that's not very common 'round these here parts.
    Oh and a bit flooding, not like yours though.

  4. Indeed, God bless them all and their families. I was horribly saddened to read that yesterday when I got home. That flooding you're experiencing scares me. I remember a few years ago when we were on Spaces what happened!! I will have to go back and see how the party went. xxoo

  5. Been so busy this week...trying to catch up with a few of my friends. So glad you didn't get drowned during your party!! My dogs will be tearing up the house tonight when the fireworks start. I have to baby all three of them every 4th and New Years Day...and thunderstorm! lol I hope Oreo is a brave soldier!

    I have trouble with technology too....and have trouble even when I contact the people for help. I completely understand!!! Hope you get it fixed so you can use it like it was intended.
