It is always a bit overwhelming, arriving at home for the first time in seven months. In many ways we are overwhelmed with the charm and beauty of the place and on the other hand we are overwhelmed with all the things that need attention.
Immediately, the computer and Internet must be connected and of course, it will not work. The television system needs connecting and set up and it also will not work. The Kitchen Aid refrigerator that is only five years old is not cooling and the freezer will not open. Our repairman, Pat, who lives in Harper and who has repaired the frig twice before, came this morning to report that it can not be repaired. And our Ford Escape, who for the first time we left in the garage at the ranch house, will not start. So we went to bed with a long list of things that are not working.
By tonight at bed time. the television is working and Ken is watching a Capitols game. The Internet is obviously working. The new refrigerator will be delivered on Saturday afternoon and they will remove our damaged Kitchen Aid. And the automobile is due for a safety check in the morning so if the battery charger does not work over night, we will jump start the car and drive in to get a new battery.
Last but not least, the cleaning lady has quit so both houses need cleaning. Horrors!!
