A Morning of Heavy Fog

6:25

6:30

Up at 6:05 to a dark house, a lake hidden by fog, as just the docks are visible.  The humidity has dropped a little as has the temperature, 61º, but it will get in the 80's later today and stay close.

We had the carpet cleaners come in yesterday to clean our downstairs carpets and stairs, something we have needed but never gotten around to doing.  So, early on. we started moving some of our things out of the living room, making it easier for the guys to do their job, things like lamps and break ables, not furniture as they do that.  At 9:30, I went to yoga with Danielle, a crowded class of course and it was good to see some of the people I have not seen for a couple of months.  Summer does feel over as most of us get back in to our normal routines.

When I got home, the guys were hard at work, the job overall taking close to two hours.  They seem to have done a fine job, the carpets look almost new though we will not be able to tell for sure until they dry completely.  We asked them how often they recommend getting carpets cleaned and they suggested once a year.  Well, this is our first time in 17 years so I guess we were overdue.  Because of the high humidity, we had fans on all day, hoping to get the carpets dry.  They seem pretty good this morning when I came down.

We still our unsure of when our friends from Turkey will arrive but we continue to get ready for them. Evie worked in the yard and cut the lawn, which needed it and I worked on my garage.  It continues to get messy and when it rains, water gets in.  And, as I was putting things up in the attic, one section of the dry wall collapsed on to the floor, creating quite a mess.  I am not sure how to fix it, whether to salvage the dry wall, put it up again, or put another entirely new piece up.  This is something I expected as the ceiling shows signs of wear and will not handle the weight I have put up unless I reinforce it some, which was done by our previous owners.

Evie decided to get food shopping done late afternoon, heading to Wegman's, so she can get a start on making some dishes for our friends over the weekend.  We assume they will call today and arrive either on Sunday or Monday but we have to plan for an earlier arrival, just in case.  We had BLT's and fresh corn for dinner, the corn still sweet, watched some TV.  I am now into a Harlan Coben novel about sports agent, Myron Bolitar, ex Celtic Number One draft choice, who also has a FBI background, or something like that.  It's not bad, an easy read, by no means taxing or informative, just entertaining.
