The Big Chill

Yep.......the refrigerator seems to be working.  The new cooling unit was installed on Tuesday.  It ran about 36 hours on electric power and then we switched it to gas this morning....and it appears to be maintaining appropriate temperatures.  We made some ice cubes and bought some milk, eggs and ice cream yesterday...and they are all in great condition.  Meanwhile we have continued to participate in the "day to day" at the McCurdy house....today was Coffey's Flag squad practice and Ann had to work.  We gathered for dinner and then took all three girls to evening "day camp" for Girl Scouts.  It's still plenty hot an humid, and the days busy!

Things come in Threes - Round 2

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit in West Virginia and the adventures with our son, Reid and daughter and son-in-law, Ann and Matt and of course the three granddaughters, Coffey, Close and Merrick.  When our fun there was over, we moved on to Pennsylvania and a campground near Ann and Matt's home.  That's when things begain to fall apart....AGAIN!      1) We'd had the car repaired in Arizona before we left, again in Alabama a month ago and once again it is flashing all sorts of lights indicating trouble.  It has an appointment on July 6 for repairs, Pennsylvania style.     2) The morning after our arrival in PA, our milk for the cereal was pretty chunky.  Not good!  After several calls to repair services and a few experiments with equipment it was decided that we need to replace our cooling unit - which had been replaced in March.  So, we are awaiting arrival of the new unit, under warranty, from Tucson.  Meanwhile, all food is room temperature.     3) On the evening of our second day in PA, Mary's computer froze up and "died."  True to their word, agents at the Geek Squad based in the Selinsgrove, PA precinct of Best Buy, got all data retrieved and the computer all reformatted and operating once again.  A new external hard drive came along with the deal.

We did enjoy a great family 4th of July celebration...going on a picnic to the Bloomsburg, PA Town Park and enjoying the live band concert and fireworks display.  We're getting into our "summer mode" with ball games and trips to the pool with the granddaughters...more fun to come!
