Wednesday -
A longtime friend came over for lunch. She is such a good friend and loves my children dearly. She is always gifting us with sweet treasures or lending us educational dvds (Answers in Genesis) to watch. She was the very first, in real life, person I met who homeschooled and she encouraged me to do the same. That was … oh, probably about 14 years ago! We ate yummy Mexican food for lunch (my first really yummy and juicy oven grilled chicken breasts ever!) and talked the afternoon away. She forgot her Bible when left for home so she, and her husband, came by that night to pick it up. We had a nice time visiting for about an hour with both of them.
Thursday -
The dishwasher repair man was supposed to come … again. We were given a very broad time frame, 8-5, for his arrival. He did not make it. We bought this dishwasher last July and it has had problems every since. It is a two drawer dishwasher and I really like the concept but the bottom drawer has never worked correctly. We have run maybe 12-15 complete loads in that drawer since last July. Three different service technicians have been out to fix it and it is still broken. One time we had to wait two months for a part. We were getting a little bit frustrated. My sweet husband called and talked with the company that we bought it from again today. A nice woman took his information and told him someone would get back to him. A couple hours later a nice man called and he said we had been more than patient. He offered us continued repair or replacement. Of course my sweet husband opted for replacement. We have an appointment on Sunday afternoon to pick out a new dishwasher. We can get one just like the one we have or any thing else we want. We are going with something different and I already found what I want online. It matches our range and refrigerator (the brand, style and handles) so that will be nice. I can hardly wait to have a fully working dishwasher and I know my daughters can hardly wait either! :)
My second oldest washed and hung our new Hummingbird feeder. I have really missed seeing the Hummingbirds up close and am so glad to have a feeder again.
Friday –
Hummingbirds!! We have had visitors to the feeder several times today. It does help that the feeder hangs on a rod iron hanger that is very close to our lemon tree. The Hummingbirds do love lemon blossoms. The nice thing about the feeder is that it brings the Hummingbirds close to patio and in view of the bay windows in the sitting area in our kitchen. Yay for Hummingbirds!
My older girls helped me sort through a mountain of mail. I am terrible about going through the mail. It all get piled instead of filed in the trash or a place where I can find the things I need quickly. I really need to get some filing cabinets and get more organized in this area. I am soo thankful for my daughters who are willing to help with projects like this.
It rained for a while today and since I really enjoy rainy days … it was most welcome. Right now the sun is shining but I am hopeful that those dark clouds in the distance mean more is on the way.
Right now my two youngest are looking at Nature Friend magazines and my two oldest are finishing up some work. My oldest has sneezed alllllll day long. Literally. Her eyes are all red and swollen. It is has been windy and yesterday we had the back door open all day. I think that something came in on the wind that she is allergic too. Since spring has already begun here in Arizona, it could be any number of blooming things. Poor girl. I hope it lets up soon.
