Friday the 13th

Yesterday was Friday the 13th and I hate being superstitious...but the date was on my mind. I am not sure why because I know of many negative things that have happened and the 13th hasn't really been attached to any......but I was still overly cautious all day.

First of all I thought L and I should make a little trip to the local eye glass shop and choose new frames....which we did. The whole time he was biting at the bit wanting to come home and mow!! He has been working extra shifts this week and his only time home thus far has been raining or at least too damp to mow. The lady that waited on us, was new. of course...so it was a very slow process with her having to run out back to fill in almost every blank! Finally, we are out of there and it is almost late afternoon.

L has to go and pick up his mower at the repair shop...another delay. He is gone for an unusual amount of time. He finally arrives home but was as white as a sheet!

AS the young man was driving L's ride on up the ramp of his trailer, it flipped up in the air and came crashing down on the poor guy!! The hood of the ride on is now smashed and the poor guy is hurt!!

Finally, L makes his way home through town. AS he is getting out of his car to start unloading the ride on, he sees smoke pouring out from the back, where the battery is stored. TO make a long story short.....he was hours running to town twice to get parts to repair what had been on fire. When I heard the mower actually start.....I knew things were improving.

Our lawn is now mowed but it was very late!!

I am so happy that today is the 14th......

Talk soon!!
