A Big Week

I sure has been a productive week. Monday night we came home from Michigan. I was very sad as always, but it was good to get home. Except that we came home to a wet basement. When we left the prior Thursday morning it was pouring rain. It had actually rained all night long. By the time we left we had gotten over 5 inches. But, the basement was dry and the city crew had beenout and started pumping the manholes. We thought we were home free so we left for MIchigan. It took us 6 hours to drive out of the rain. by the time we got to Michigan I had contacted a friend and they checked the basement. Bless their hearts, they found out it was wet so they went and got a shop vac and got it all dried out. But when we got home on Monday night, it smelled very musty in the house. Tuesday, after a very hectic day at work, I went and rented a carpet shampooer. I spent 3 hours shampooing, but it smelled a lot better when I was done. The rest of the work week was spent catching up from being gone, training a new employee in Fulda, and getting yet another project completed. Friday night we went to the Homecoming Game here in town. I don't know many of the kids out there anymore, but it is still fun to be at high school sporting events. Saturday morning I worked. That is okay. I always get a lot of catch up work done on Saturday mornings. This particular Saturday morning was very very busy so I helped the tellers, but I still got a lot of stuff done. Saturday afternoon we worked in the yard. We got the vegetable garden totally cleaned out and the remains taken out to the tree dump. They have a compost pile out there that you can put garden waste in. It was kind of sad that the garden is done, because I love to be able to run out to the garden and get things for a meal. ON the other hand I am tired of canning salsa, tomatoes, and green beans and dicing onion and peppers. Today I spent putzing and cleaning. I did a lot of cleaning I have not had a chance to do the last few weeks. I dusted, scrubbed floors, cleaned bathrooms, etc. I feel like I have gotten a lot done! It is a really good feeling. Now, tomorrow is Monday so I have to get ready to do it all again.
