Today was a complete waste of an eight hour personal day. I woke up at 6:30 to get ready for work and Alfred was sitting in his chair. I knew something was wrong because he normally leaves for work at 4:00. He said the well was out and we had no water soooo......that meant no shower and I wasn't even thinking about going to work the way I looked! I was hoping Alfred would be able to prime it but that didn't work. We had to call the well repair guys and they got here right before noon. After trying three times to prime it with no luck, they had to pull it. That's what they are doing in the pics. They are still out there as I write so I'm sure the repair bill is ticking upwards nicely. It just hurts my feelings to have to do this......again. Oh well..... enough feeling sorry for myself. T'will be ok...
Mama called Huntsville today about Trav and they said everything is in order and he has been PC'd (program completed) so they are just waiting on his certificate from Austin. The lady was going to call today and see if she couldn't get the process moving along a little faster. As you know, we are SO anxious for his homecoming! While we're on the subject of Trav......he had this old orange baseball cap that he dearly loved before he went to prison and he wore it all the time. As a matter of fact, the deputy that took him to Huntsville, the day he enteredTDCJ, let him wear it one last time on the way there. When I had to pick up his personal belongings, his cap was there. As you might imagine, that was an extremely emotional day for me. Over the past seven years I have taken good care of it, knowing he would ask about it again. And, last weekend he did! I didn't tell him this but in his new room, we hung a wall mounted hat/coat rack and his orange cap is the only thing hanging on it right now. Somehow, that silly cap hanging there just completed the room! That cap has traveled a lot of miles with him and I have a feeling it will be something he'll treasure from now on.
The well guys are done and we have wonderful, running water again. They said they'd have someone from the office call and let us know how much. YIKES! I think they were afraid to give Alfred the ticket! I've been planning all day to go in to work when the well was fixed but it's 2:00 and too late to go now. The sun is shining beautifully and I think I'll go outside for a while....God bless all of ya!
