It rained a little in the morning, for the fourth time since we have been here. That made it nice and cool, mid eighties, but the sun came out later so the net result was hot and more humid. One of the boys told D'Linda that the forecast for the first of the week is in the 100s. She's already worrying.
Rusty came home and had to run some mouse traps up to Steve, apparently where they have him staying has a problem with mice. Rusty said that they haven't caught any lately so he was loaning him their's. I went with him to meet Steve. When we came back as we turned into the driveway the car alarm went off. It stopped after announcing our arrival, but after we got out it went off again and on and off every couple of minutes. Rusty looked through the fuses to see if he could disable the system, but the best he could do was remove the fuse for the horn. Jamie needed some cheese and Rusty had to pick up some hardware so I went with him. He was worried about driving without a horn, I told you it is a big part of driving here. The flashers would go off periodically as we drove, but that isn't unusual around here. Some drivers drive with their flashers on all the time. When we came out of the store the car had unlocked itself. It was running pretty rough also. At the hardware store Rusty left the car unlocked, but when we came out it was locked. When we got back Rusty disconnected the battery, a problem for another day.
When we got back D'Linda was visiting with Tracie, a cute four year old who lives down the road with her grandmother. She is another child Rusty pays tuition so she can go to School. Rusty said that onetime they were visiting with her grandmother and telling her that they wanted to adopt so the grandmother offered Tracie. Rusty said it didn't work that way, the grandmother said no it was alright, she was the grandmother.
The boys spent most of the afternoon at the beach with some friends, by evening they were all sunburnt.
Jamie made lasagne for dinner, she said for only the second time. It was very good even though the oven they have is not very good and the cheeses you get here are a little different than back home. D'Linda was grossed out when the first package of lasagne noodles they opened was full of hundreds of weevels. Luckily Jamie had another package that was okay.
After dinner we went to the Chapman's for the bi-weekly devotional. Some of the electrical team came. It was inside and a little hot, but everyone seems to be used to being sweaty.
I was trying to think what my new experience for the day was, the only thing I could think of was, that this was the first day that I didn't see Rusty give someone money. There were a couple people over using the computer, and Alfonso, a boy Rusty helps with his school tuition, was over washing the windows. Maybe a relaxing, mostly uneventful day was my new experience?
By the way the dead rooster is still alive and living on the back porch.
