Hi, everyone. <br /><br />Rose, great avatar. <br /><br />Ed, hope you can rest that knee and that it feels better. Wayne is also trying to hold off on surgery for his ankle- something about a tendon. He&#39;s been wearing ankle brace and knee length boot for 5 weeks. Now just the brace , so we&#39;ll see. That , also, would be 6-8 weeks in a cast so he&#39;s not anxious. <br /><br />The phone company surprised us at 8:45 this morning. They were supposed to come on Tuesday. We had no phone service at all . One of our phones was damaged, or so he says , and messed up everything. He also replaced the entire phone box on the side of the house , so who knows what the problem really was but we&#39;ll be charged about &#036;120 since we haven&#39;t paid maintenance on our land lines for a few years. So, we still came out ahead. <br /><br />All schools, every store, every place you go, here in So. Florida, is air conditioned. So, the heat really doesn&#39;t bother me. I go from my air conditioned home to my car that cools off in no time, to the air conditioned stores. In the summer months, I just don&#39;t do my walking outside. <br /><br />Wishing everyone a great Sunday. School here starts tomorrow. Yeah&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33; The malls will be quiet again.
