With all the recent rains we had a downspout clog up on the back bump-out roof where the back of the kitchen is, so the other night we had dripping around the inside trim of the picture window. I had to pull the downspout apart and tear it down while it was raining. The house is a hundred years old and the roof there is the old school style box gutter/Yankee gutter system, which is a fussy system to begin with. The other downspout for it is also not in good shape anymore, so we need to get a gutter guy in to replace them. Also the husband of longtime friend of my two middle sisters is in the hospital seriously ill and we're keeping good thoughts that he will recover.
My sister from Virginia is here visiting us, although she is currently spending a few days visiting with another longtime friend who was widowed earlier this year. So much sadness this year with a few families we have known forever.
I'm just keeping on with the housework and such. The recycling is out at the curb for tomorrow's pick up and I'm going to tackle the laundry this evening.
