You Take a Chance When---

You start what should be a fun daily exercise to record your thoughts and activities of life as in my blog aptly named By Chance, when the computer gremlin that has been sleeping for many months rears up and causes a glitch which is why there have been no entries for several days.

OK then, to recap: The rain stopped, the sun came out, the lake receded (the peagravel guy came by and put some in front of our trailer), and the shoppers shopped!

Remember when the kids went off to school/college/first job but came home and brought their dirty laundry? Well, that's what we did last night--took our dirty socks and stuff off to the kids house--sweetened the deal with thick steaks, and gifts for our almost 2 1/2 year old granddaughter, Laila. Do you know that there are "potty training kits" in the market place today? Seriously, they come with a DVD, a little bracelet thing that reminds the child every 2o minutes x 3 hours to visit the potty, a little plastic potty that makes a realistic flushing sound, a little plastic sink that makes the sound of water, and a plastic gadget that has 3 different reward sayings for a job well done--Yes, of course, we bought one for Laila!

We've had several retail jobs, but this is the only one where the customers come up to the counter on horseback to make their purchases--this is the ultimate drive through. What a hoot. I got a picture of this, but as yet have not uploaded it to the computer.

We met a little boy today whos first name is Chance, his dad noticed our name tags and pointed it out to him.

Tonight is the lunar eclipse. Don't recall how often this occurs. Kind of spooky to know that it is there, but you can see it.

Along with the computer glitch, was a new instillation of our email system with myrvspace.com and as a result all our email addresses were lost in cyberspace. So if you don't hear from me/us in a while, please send a note so we can get your address. Thanks, Patty
