We have a new fence and AC today

Fianlly it is done, the fence is up and it only cost us $75.00 out of pocket. The insurance company gave us 175.00 to repair exsisting fence and we did. We fixed that fence so the dogs can not get out and terrorize the neighborhood. Thank God for Eric our nieghbor, he helped Fred put it up and it looks pretty good. Eric had his own fencing project he needed to do so when Fred told him what we were doing Monday he went and bought a bale of chainlink. Fred helped Eric put up his section of fence and then they came over here and finished ours. They had the job completed by 6 pm yesterday. Im so proud of Fred and the dogs are happy.

Cujo and Zack spent all evening in the back yard. Cujo our 7 month old dane rottie mix chewed on everything he could put in his mouth and Zack ran from one side of the fence to the other side barking occasionally at god only knows what. Zack our brindle pit mix is all talk and no action and it was funny watching him walk around the yard all bowed up like he was the alpha male protecting his turf. Butch our old man just did his business and wanted to go back inside. He is 12 and his body dose'nt work like it used to.

Today we are cleaning up the aluminum that has been lying in my yard since Wilma hit us last year. Fred borrowed his dad's truck (the house is fine and all the tomatoes are gone) and borrowed Eric's Sawzall???? and our yard should be almost back to normal by this afternoon. We still have the grapefruit tree lying on the power lines and since FPUA has never returned to cut it down, Eric said he would take care of it.

My good luck has not run out yet, today Grimes AC is coming out and installing our new 5 ton AC unit, not that there is anything wrong with the ancient unit that sits outside our home but Eric's father in-law is installing a brand new AC. Their old unit is only 5 years old and works great. Fred and Eric got with the AC company and for $400.00 they will install the new unit after they finish Eric's house.

Today is a good day. It is also Warren's 20th birthday today. He has class and then he is going shopping with his friends to buy himself a new flat panel monitor for his computer. We will take him out for dinner and desert tonite and my birthday present to him was paying his car insurance for the last time and not making him pay rent for 2 months. He was happy.

Tell Warren we all say "Happy Birthday" and give him hugs and kisses for us.

Mom and Dad are having a blast here, but mom has caught a cold and we have stayed in yesterday and today.

What happened to all the tomatos???

Love,
