Been a while

Not a lot to say. Getting used to the new home. Needless to say it is a bit noisier than the old, double-walled, wooden farm house.
Went to the flea market this weekend. The heat and humidity was not good, haha.
The only thing worth sharing was an impromptu "petting zoo", so to speak, at the flea market.

A piglet.


And a calf and goat.


The goat seemed to like chewing on a ribbon that was tied to the pen.

And the funny thing about the calf was whenever it wanted to be where the goat was, it would stick its nose on the goat's butt. The goat would jump and move, and the calf would move where the goat was.

The goat obviously didn't like it; but it never butted the calf back.

We came home after the flea market. Usually we go into Lafayette for shopping; but with the heat and humidity we just didn't feel like dealing with the Saturday traffic there.

I hope you are all doing well. Praying for God's mercy on the Western states, especially where the fires are. 
Praying for rain for you who need it.
Our rain has stopped for the most part, so now we have the summer heat and humidity.
You all be safe and God bless!

You all be safe and God bless!

Please disreguard the mess.

 I honestly believe someone who does not cook must have designed this kitchen...


Stove, obviously.


Sink.


Distance from one to the other.

I am still thankful though. Don't get me wrong, just wondering how much water I will be spilling.  😛

You all be safe and God bless.

Pictures that are not of problems.

 Middle son took this one for me.



And some odds and ends,





You all be safe and God bless.

So we found out why the hot water heater

 doesn't work right.

Maintenance people were out to fix all the other problems, like roofing shingles, and found this.


I am without words. Well, I have plenty really. And I told the dealer how frustrated we were.

The maintenance team reported it though and the pipe that is supposed to be there is supposedly being sent to the dealer from the factory.

Dealer said he hadn't realized the problem because we were the first people to ask for a gas water heater in 20 years.

Now, I find that hard to believe. And was he okay with random tape being on the pipe? I mean, it's obvious SOMETHING was missing.

Anyway, WHEN they receive the part they will find someone to install it.

Hopefully.

In God's time, which is not my time, but it is getting harder.

You all be safe and God bless.
