Oh grrrrrrr…. something told me to check inside the dust covered camera case to see if my older camera, the Powershot was there, it wasn’t. And I’ve been looking to no avail-it’s missing! Dang it. I remember wanting to use the video feature it has, that’s it, the last time I saw it! I was trying to make a video of how the solar lights around the pond act funny when they have a few cloudy days-they flash on and off at night like fairies are playing tag. Now, what did I do with it?
Time to clean anyway. I don’t remember seeing so much dust in the house for a long time-but I remembered that Bri had knocked down a wall in the basement’s bathroom so I could get to the shelves behind it months ago-dry wall dust is the pits! Never let people build walls or closets without your approval. He had our neighbor helping him and instead of just putting a spring rod for a curtain, they built a wall in front of roughly 12 feet of shelves (two-6 feet areas). I put up with that for at least 18 years maybe and I was sick of moving boxes to get to boxes. That’s another job I have to finish, cleaning and moving boxes around. Also, when we were converting the garage into our most used room, they added a closet on one of the long walls. I wanted it in a corner. I have really no options for moving the sofa and chair around. It was the same neighbor who came up with that bright idea.
So I’ll say a prayer to St. Anthony and hope my little camera reappears!
Sean is going for an interview with the school district for landscaping/maintenance in about an hour.
Thoughts and prayers to the people of Iowa and the Midwest who are trying to survive flood damage.

Found my camera laying on the backseat of the van under a neck pillow. It was in there in all that heat, so hope it’s ok. I remember I took it to my Mom’s for Mother’s Day and never took any photos, so it’s been in the van for over a month. I had started to clean and then my usual beginning of the week wonky tummy starts acting up! I guess I’ll do a bit more.
Sean is going to do maintenance at his old elementary school! He has to start pretty early, but it will help toward his rent next year.
How relieved you must feel to have found your camera and that your son has found a summer job!!! My 17 yos will be taking over janitor duties at our church in August, in addition to his lawn mowing job. It’ll put a nice start on his savings account for whatever lies ahead. 🙂
