Hubby worked hard all day to get the laundry back together and he was successful!

Again it was a most of the day project that he took his time to do but accomplished with perfection.
I am happy to say that the laundry room looks as if nothing nefarious happened at all!
If flooding and water heaters failing can be considered that evil or despicable? Yep, this one fit the bill.
The amount of damage was quite severe but admittedly repairable thanks to Hubby’s calm logic.
You know how you acquire that?
Experience, as they say nothing new under the sun and for us that can be said in spades!
I think if this happened twenty or thirty years ago our reaction would have been much more panicky.
But the fact that it had happened before and we knew what to do had its rewards in our ability to deal with, as the kids say.

This morning, early, I made a couple of new friends on Face book, one of my favorite authors, James W. Hall, had accepted me as one of his friends in the wee hours since my new wake up time seems to be a uniformed 4:50 A.M., but actually this was way after that after six A.M. in fact.

Who knows why I have started this too early bird wake up call, it’s not like we just changed our clocks or anything, since that’s when it usually occurs! And besides you do know better than to ask, right? Why, BECAUSE I CAN’T HEAR YOU? LOL

My other newbie in my cautiously and carefully chosen friends list was one of the other news anchors, but for some reason it was a bit of a challenge since it appears that all the usual ways did not work to invite her to be my friend. You see, every search for her came up a no-go or with some other ridiculous name, close but no cigar. And when I was just about to call it quits and see if she could try from her end, since I do have her email address, but then my miniscule brain lit up with my savant ability and a brilliant idea and that’s when I decided to Google her!
And it worked! We are now buds, well not really just acquaintances with my ability to send her annoying comments and or questions! And she can do the same thing back since we are both…JERSEY GIRLS! Ha! But I doubt she would want to know anything from me? She’s the newsy one.

I just got that new additional friends into the fold when my dear sweet oldie but goodie dear almost daughter in law but she and my son chose against it, when she a Tampa cop posted from her local station about the horrendous shooting of two police officers, her fellow officers!
And so I wanted the details and felt that this …what did Betty White call this venue of Facebook? A waste of time venue or some such thing could be used for good not for lameness!
It was my decision to make sure that I posted all the news services accesses that had info on the suspects as well as their descriptions and their vehicle too!
Sadly both very young officers died within hours of being shot, one was a father of four the other had a baby on the way! Just horrendous!

The woman suspect turned herself in around noon and as of the last I heard the search was still on for the man who now will be charged with two counts of murder!

Major agencies are offering rewards as high as sixty-five thousand dollars last I heard.

We are currently having a power failure that FPL has no idea when it will end so Hubby put me on the generator due to needing air-conditioning and to publish this Blog! And it started at 6:11 P.M. and right now it is 10:32 P.M.
He’s great!

I will bid you all a very good night and suggest for you all to count those blessings and we will too!
PS Hope the power is restored soon, apparently it was hit by lightening, a main part of the system and 233 homes only without power including us!

Update: Just a few minutes ago our power was fully restored; thanks FPL and Alex became the first hurricane of the season!
