Sitting in my sewing studio by the light of my Dad’s lamp, it has been a day of “come what may.”

By the advice from Kevin, the first thing I did was call Dell Support and had them send me a shipping label so I could return the $129 replacement battery for my Dell laptop. Ya know . . . initially I had just taken the message that my laptop gave me and I didn’t think twice, I just ordered the battery. So bad, when I didn’t question the computer message or myself and then got smart and questioned Kevin. Dennis drove me to the UPS drop box and I can check that off of my senior decision gone bad.

This afternoon, a friend named Perry stopped by as he and his wife are visiting from their retirement home in Georgia. Great visit from my Watonwan County brother.

We have an event to travel to tomorrow. Dennis had all the items in the pickup by early afternoon today, so I could do the check, check thing. A few were heavy, such as loading a cooler with bottled water for ice to be put on in the a.m. I assured him there would be helpers when we arrived at our destination. Ya Sure!

Another inch and a half in rainfall. After enjoying how nice and manicured our front yard looked yesterday, I can almost hear it growing. I am groaning.
