Yes, I know and we have done our own maintenance on toilets over the years but it is nice that we can call our township water authority and let them know we had a leak (any kind of leak) and they will simply give us a credit - usually small maybe $10 or 20 but it is nice they do this.

Our rescue cat Sparky has a new thing where he jumps on the ledge of the first floor windows and taps on a window to come inside. Open window and screen and in he walks and jumps onto furniture. Goof ball.

Your garden looks great! What do you have planted on the rightside of this photo? Some of my sunflowers were starting to how sign of blooming the morning we left. Hopefully they will be in full bloom by the time we get home.

I love recipes like this. pretty much how we do it in our house. Rarely use a shot glass to make a drink. Just eye ball it based on the glass being used at the time. I do get confused when I make pitchers of drink so we have a rule "drink it before you drink it"

I do 2 ways. easiest way is 1 cup of sugar to 1 cup of water in large microwaveable bowl. Cook for 2 minutes, stir then cook for another 2 minutes then cool off and put in fridge for later use. or you can do same 1 cup of sugar / 1 cup of water stove top and simmer until sugar is melted and solution is clear liquid. Then cool off and put in fridge. I have heard it stays good for up to 4 weeks but my solutions are gone in a matter of days in my house.

I know I hear that a lot. Some of my neighbors have moved their laundry upstairs but for now mine is in the basement and works for me. I tend to forget I was doing laundry (out of sight out of mind) and I don't always hear the units beep when done.

In my township we have a water/sewer bill that is issued every quarter. Recently they changed the calculation for the sewage part of the bill to be more in line with the amount of water you use per quarter. there are a lot of unhappy pool owners billed for sewage because they filled their pool. We then have annual school tax bill due by August 31st (this is the largest bill of all) We then have County/Township/Trash tax due by April 30st

I store everything and anything into the basement. Our basement is 1500 sq' and 2/3rds of it is finished and the other part is a workshop/workbench/tools, etc. and an area with built in shelves for storage of holiday decorations, etc., the washer/dryer area and our furnace and hot water heater. We had a wet basement system installed before we finished the basement and 2 have sump pumps with battery back up systems. I am not even sure that we have anything in the attic, will have to look when we get back or home (or wait until it's not too hot to go up there).

Yes, Me here! I make my own simple syrup and yes, sometimes I have infused fresh mint leaves when simmering the water/sugar mixture. Is that what you did?

Same here we had a leaky toilet this winter and our local water authority gave us a credit too.

We have split system at the shore house and wish we had it at home too (someday I'm sure we will do it).

Thank you. Yes, it was my Grandfathers old boat that sat at my Nana's house unused for years after he passed away.

Good thing service tech coming tomorrow. Hopefully easy fix.

I think RC transport will drop everyone off at Disney transport center then you will need to hop onto bus to magic kingdom

Hot sun and alcohol are not a good mix unless we'll hydrated. Does sound like something happened.

We had these straws on Anthem. Definitely better😃

That's what we have been doing too. We like to get it done and move onto lunch and drinks😃

Did I ever show you the painting we had done on the wall in stairwell leading to rooftop deck I cannot fit in one picture. This is left side of the wall. I goofed by uploading right side first

I think he is referring to drink OB makes with Kraken.

Yes he played monopoly a lot😁

Scar adds character😃

The blue house John had posted photos of last week with pool and fire pit was Rorys newly constructed home. Come on Jim you gotta keep up🤣

Same here with our cats. I only put weed n feed on front yard and sides, nothing in the backyard where fenced.

Makes me very happy that our hot water is in our basement. When we had to replace it April 2020 I only had to mop some water on tile floor. It was around 18 yrs old.
