Had a big storm Saturday, Roberta's power has been off for 3 days. She bought her frozen food over Sunday. We had bb sized hail that decimated my garden. My poor elephant ears look like someone shot them with a shotgun. Most of my zinnias are flattened, have to do lots of pruning, but they all will come back. I just heard from my cousin Beverly up in Chicago, that her daughter's husband just died. They found him in his sleep, he had been sick for quite a while. Only 43 years old..
We were needing rain and now it rains all the time, feels like we're living in the tropics, very humid out there, fortunately not too hot tho... lower 80's.
Suzankaye and family went to upper Wisconsin and spent a week in the woods. They had a good time getting away from civilization for a while, really roughed it ... only had local television!!!
Warning to all.... If you have an electric razor with a worn out head, you can be cut! I was shaving this morning and noticed that my razor was kind of hurting me. I looked at the screen and it had a sharp spot on it. When I looked in the mirror, it looked like I tried to cut my throat, bloody scratches everywhere. Any way that's my public service announcement for today.
