So sorry about your hail damage. Was there strictly damage to your roof, or did you lose windows too? We've had to replace our roof twice, and our siding once. Because coverage is getting so expensive here, we had to increase our deductible on the house this year, and I'm praying that wasn't a mistake, but I'd rather have a higher deductible than skip insurance completely.

Good Afternoon Kids! I did some shopping this morning, and found DS a tie that 1. matches his suit & 2. should coordinate well in any wedding pictures. I'm sure I'll be running around doing various errands until the big day, but I'm trying to get the obvious stuff now.

I have a concrete tile roof so the roof is okay it is my siding and fence that are damaged.

I have increased my deductible on all of my insurance as high as I feel I can afford to go.
I heard about the hail. The photos are awful and the insurance will increase yet again.

That's HUGE hail! I've never seen hail that big. Not even close. Did you get get a lot of damage? Thank goodness you have insurance! I pay a higher premium on my car insurance, to avoid a high deductible.

That is awful Icelandic Woman. What type of fencing did you have that the hail damaged it so badly? (Just curious.) Wishing you honest contractors to fix all of your property's problems.

Peeps, I wish all of you with storm damage speedy repairs. That hail is not a joke. We had some just north of us two days ago, but it was the nickle-size variety and did little damage.
Today is DH's 80th birthday, so after kitty's wellness vet visit, we brought her home and went out to lunch and grocery shopped. Lunch was too much food, so we have not even considered dinner yet. I bought him a slice of red velvet cake and told him it was OK if he wanted it for dinner, since it is his birthday. I did run today, and yesterday was my final PT session.

Ugh. I'm in a FOUL mood this evening.
Hope it improves by the morning. It isn't pretty and I'm not enjoying it.

It looks like I will be washing machine shopping today, mine had quite a bit of water coming out from underneath the machine last night. ![](https://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff155/JiminiChristmas/ymamsmiles/grrr.png) I know that now days 8 years is considered ancient in washing machine years but I had my previous machine 20+ years.

So many buttons; some of them look more like they are ready for a rocket launch that a dirty clothes load.

A nice morning here with less humidity; I actually worked outside after swimming, doing the Walmart stop and having breakfast. Pizza night tonight; I use the cauliflower crusts. Not the same as the real thing, but it is what DH can handle.

I haven't had pizza in a L O N G time. It sounds good.

Good Morning Kids! I've already made a trip to my favorite meat market today. I like pizza with a thick crust. Those frozen pizzas with the rising crust taste good to me.

There are some very decent frozen pizzas out there. I just don't do it because DH can't and I don't want to be a meanie eating it in front of him.

Just cleaned up the side yard mess left by the neighbor's yard service idiots. But don't worry, I gave those yard clippings a really good home.

DD2's DH hasn't shown up yet, to get the tables out of the back seat of my car. I text her and inquired if he's still coming.
She said, if he doesn't, she will. She's getting her nails done right now.
I don't think it will be easy, for us. And if she breaks a nail, I will feel SO bad! She's hosting a bridal shower tomorrow. And is the Matron of honor in the wedding, next week.
But I can't drive my car to get the shower gift, or attend the shower, with the tables in my car. I can't see out the back window.
The wedding and the shower, are for his sister and one of his best friends.
I guess, I'd better get up and get something done, before they get here!
Oh, the pressure! Haha.

No worries at all. I have placed them back where they belong on the proper side of the fence. By the way, the neighbors who own the property are never home when the lawn dudes are working there. They just conveniently seem to go out of town that day.

I started running my regular 3 mile route this morning on the road (I will go back to trails next weekend) and made scrambled eggs and turkey sausage for breakfast this morning. Will tidy the bathrooms shortly.

Thanks for brunch NancysSummerSip, just what I need before grocery shopping. Never shop on an empty stomach.

Good Afternoon Kids! We've got rain moving in, so I'm going to go hurry & rake some grass seed into the lawn before it arrives. It's gonna rain for at least half the week here.
