About 12:15 last night, I was finishing up on the computer and it was getting warm in here. Bri’s good at turning the air up to about 78 before he goes to bed. So I was walking past the front window to adjust the air and I saw a car parked in front of our trash bin! I turned the front light on and then I saw it drive away, but I heard wheels moving, the bin’s wheels! Sure enough, the bin was gone and I had to get Bri out of bed to go look for it. First he went up the yard in the wrong direction and I told him they went the other way. He found it all dumped out (and it was a full load this week) in our next door neighbor’s driveway and their mailbox had been knocked down! I decided to call the police, if just for the neighbor’s sake of needing a new mailbox. The officers came here to file a report.

Today I called our neighbor and she says this is a ‘new thing’ with the kids or whatever pranksters are doing it. They use to come along and smash our mailboxes. Most of us got wise and got plastic mailboxes or put a metal halo around them. It was nice to chat with our neighbor as I haven’t done so for a while. They are older and kind of stay to themselves.

I am suffering either from a sprained right thumb or carpel tunnel syndrome. I am left-handed, but my thumb started bothering me big time yesterday afternoon and throughout the night. I have a special support glove somewhere, but right now I am icing it and am wearing a glove you wear to bed (to moisturize it). It helps. I think I hurt it lifting the pots of roses. I’ve had hand problems before, but usually my left hand. Also trying to ‘stitch in hand’ without a hoop seemed to bother it. I guess I better lay off the cross stitching for a few days.

Sean did fine at the dentist yesterday, but he did feel odd and out of sorts, so I’m glad I went with him. He had three fillings done. I drove through Wendy’s for lunch. He tried to drink his Frosty float through a straw when he got home, but his lips were too numb and it went all over his face.

Have a great weekend. Hopefully some rain will break the heat here. I have green beans to pick, not sure if I can do it myself.

3 weeks from today we head up to University Park! Time surely flew by this year!

Update, so I don’t have to write a new post-I just added a 4th phone line to our TMobile account. I had called for a special offer on a phone, but it only applied to an existing phone line. I am giving my old phone to Bri’s dad and getting a cool Motorola flip phone in magenta. If pops can’t get the hang of my old phone, TMobile has a ton of phone deals to chose from. Mine is a $159.00 model and will be free after their discount and a mail in rebate. Can’t beat that. And each additional phone line is only $10 a month. Peace of mind for everyone to know they have a way to communicate.

I have my hand in an Ace bandage and it seems to help a bit.

My thoughts and prayers go out to families of the people who died in the bridge collapse in Minnesota. What a horrible thing! To think a bridge separates us from my brother and his family is still a scary thing to me.
