We have two more Indian-Summer-Like days and then we are SUPPOSED to get back to celebrating fall here. I’m ready.

We saw what we THINK might be the last hummingbird of the season this morning. I realize that there is a huge group of people who say I should put the feeder away at the beginning of October to encourage the hummers to fly south. There is a BIG voice, though, in my head that asks what the hummers will do if they stop for fuel and there isn’t any. So I keep the feeder out until it’s clear that no one else needs it.

I lost pound # 41 this morning!

We discovered that it was Columbus Day yesterday – trying to mail a used book we sold on Amazon and finding the post office was closed, and then checking our mailbox on the way home and finding it empty. We will try again today. (I usually look at my desk calendar, but I had written so much on it that the small holiday notice didn’t show. :0(

The Window World representative came yesterday afternoon and was able to find serial numbers on BOTH of the windows that we need to have replaced! The one in the dining area window set was in the frame of the right side. The man opened the window, sliding one part to the left and looked up to find it. The other one I could see when I got up on a stool and looked down at the bottom part of the window. (Have I mentioned that I’m height-challenged?) ANYHOW – they will order the replacements and will call us when they are ready to come out again.

We took our truck to the man who will replace the headliner that is sagging. He will call us this afternoon when he is ready for us to come pick it up. My to-do list is finally getting shorter!!!
Did I tell you I’m in love with this man’s face? He is probably in his 80’s. He has the most wonderful smile. I told my husband that I was in love. He took it in stride, since this man is just one of many on my list – which includes Tom Selleck showing up at our front door and telling me he wants me to run away with him…
