Last night as we were leaving for Steve's Birthday party, we noticed a box lodged under the gate up by the road, and a sticky note stuck to the gate. It turned out to be a UPS box that was left up by the road and not brought up to the house. We must have a new driver in the area, because usually the boxes are left on the porch or by the garage. Is this a sign of the times? Has UPS been taken over by the USPS? Anyway...I put the box in the trunk since we were heading to Austin, and I did not want to have a box on the back seat of the car. I remembered the box this morning and opened it after breakfast. It was these two beautiful cows sent from our friend Joe Mac and Carolyn in Mississippi. Joe Mac served in the Navy for many years, and it seems one of his ship mates made these two cows. We think they are great and wanted to share them with you. Thanks Joe Mac and Carolyn, they will have a place of honor here on the edge of nowhere!
I did manage to stay in bed extra long today. I got up, made coffee, read the paper and made a pile of eggs for me and Jody. I thin went out to dismantle the photo sensor on the flag light outside. We have (literally) paid hundreds of dollars in the last month to get this sensor fixed, and it still is not working. I took the whole thing apart (took photos of which wires went to what, just in case) and went to four different placed before I found the $6 sensor. Came home, put it all back together, and it immediately came on. You would think that was a good thing, but it is a photo sensor, and it should only come on when it is dark outside.
So, that leaves me with two possibilities. First, the high dollar electricians wired it together incorrectly and it is 'hot' all the time OR the sensor just needs to settle in, and maybe when it gets light in the morning it will shut itself off like it is supposed to.
Time will tell...
Deeds, Actions, Changes, SENSORS, Kindnesses, Whirled Peas, FUN!
