Let the weekend begin!

Friday is a wonderful day.  Not for traffic but it was a good day here.  The girls just left a few hours ago.  Riley, Lauren and Madi had a sleepover or slumber party last night.  We didn't see them much but they sure had fun together.  Our grand daughters are all 12 years old, all going into 7th grade, all going to 3 different Middle Schools and live in 3 different towns in the same county.  They really don't get together very often so I always tried to get them together.  However, this time I didn't even have to!  Madi and Riley planned it out.  Games, contests, food, snacks, etc.....and they camped out in the trailer for the night.  They spent most of their time in the toy room, outside and in the trailer. I took pictures but for some reason only one good picture turned out.  This one:

Lauren, Riley and Madi

Just waiting for papa to get home from taking Riley and Lauren home.  Oh, here he comes now. I always feel better when he gets home.  You can never tell what can happen out in that big bad world.

There is so much earthquake talk around here.  I bought 4 gallons of water to store....will buy more next month and have some stored (just in case).   I also called our insurance agent, Merilee, and found out most people don't have earthquake insurance.  It is too expensive.  But for us to insure is actually kind of cheap...only $23 a month or $245 a year.  So that would add $23 to our house payment.  Sounds good, right?  Lanny's hesitation is the 10% deductible.  Which would cost us about $11,500.  If our place would destroyed they would take the deduction out of what they would owe us for the place.  However if some windows popped out or something from an earthquake or a tree fell on our place from the earthquake....we would have to pay up to $11,500 for repairs before anything would come out of their pocket.  I don't know about you, but we don't have that kind of money sitting around.   So should we do it or not?  It is hard to buy on a "perhaps it could happen" scenario. 

It finally cooled off around here.  So glad. Windows still open and fans still going, but it isn't 90 miles an hour. It even rained a little bit this morning.  That was nice. It is suppose to rain a little bit more over the weekend but probably not enough to lift the burn ban.

Tomorrow the cat is getting a pedicure....the dog is getting bath, shave and nails done.  The whole show.  He hates it.  I am going to try to talk papa into going in and getting a pedicure.  I think it would be good for his feet, him being diabetic.  

Well, I don't have much more to say.  Papa and I are going to watch Beat Bobby Flay right now.  I hope you enjoy your weekend.  I am pretty sure we will.  God's blessings!!!!
