Just A Stone's Throw

This is what we woke up to yesterday. Seems that someone or several someones decided to tour the neighborhood Sunday night and see how much damage they could do. We called the Sheriff and I know most of the guys and they took pictures and made a report. Seems that many houses in our area were vandalized and a lot of the homes had windows broken out. Back glass and front glass broken. Now tell me why in the world people would want to do this.
We are just glad it was not any worse than it was.

We will take the car to the shop on Monday, the insurance company is paying for the window.
Right now it is all taped up with duck tape!

Bunch of hoodlums I am guessing.

Look at the glass everywhere!

Here is the rock and if you look up past the rock you will see where one of the plastic lids that cover little storage spaces has been broken off. Big rock! I guess about the size of a good size grapefruit. Nothing like that around here so I guess they just brought their own rocks! At least they had forethought!

Well girls (and guys) I am going to be working with Dennis for the next 10 days or so. He is still struggling to get over his surgery and he has to go back to work. He works at the University here in town and he is a computer guru. He builds smart classrooms, and he has built 68 or so in the 8 years he has worked at the University.

A smart classroom is a classroom with a very large podium and in that podium is all the computer elements for that room. Computer, VCR, DVD player, speakers, overhead projector and other elements that I am most likely forgetting. Anyway, he builds all these rooms with electronic screens and hangs everything in the room and programs the computers in the podiums. These rooms are very nice and the teachers just love them. There is a control panel on the podium and all the teachers need to do is push buttons!

Anyway, they have to have 12 new ones before school starts and they have hired a company out of Oklahoma City to do 6 of them but the other 6 must be finished before school.

Soooooooooo, I have been out at the college the other day helping load and unload boxes and boxes of equipment for my sweet DH. Now we have to install everything in the rooms and put the projectors up and the speakers in the walls........ He has so much to do, so I am going back to college, so to speak! I will be holding the ladder and moving the ladder and handing him stuff and just keeping him company and making sure he does not pick up something that might hurt him. I guess for the next 10 days or so I will be out of pocket. I think we will work right through the weekend.

I need to give the Home Health a call and see if they can come out and check on Mom and Dad once a day while I am out of pocket. So if you wonder where I went, that is where you can find me.

I have toyed with the idea of going back to college but this is not the way I thought it would be! ahah!


I have such a cute picture of my sweet Dennis. This is a week after his surgery and we took an afternoon and drove up to IHOP. We love their omelets! We had to have a dogie bag.

How I love that man!
