Oh No! + On the Road

Oh No it leaked...

Yep minor issue with the front of porch area...in both the contractor's and my defense we opted to do shingles though it was questionable as to the 'pitch' of the roof line.

Unfortunately, roofing nails created a couple of areas where there wasn't solid roof material to have holes and the roof leaked. Yes ''we'' made a decision, but the contractors are fixing at their expense because they said they felt they didn't give us warning regarding this potential. 

I do commend them for thier honesty and willing to fix...

But, to fixing it properly we needed to go with roll roof material, not shingles... 

You can only really tell its' rolled roof if standing across the street. Otherwise from the ground or driveway you can't tell.

We are heading South....well further South.

The Roadside views are spectacular!

As the ''Queen'' of the passenger seat I was able to really look at the views and just take them in. My thoughts went a bit haywire with all I've been able to do thus far at 71. 

Seeing the color changes in the rocks had me contemplating on the rest of the year, and future.

🠋This popped up from IG🠋

I added my own thoughts [white letter] and reposted. So many notes/lists to do!

*****

Made it to the Hatfield and McCoy race expo...This is a new adventure for both of us.

I'm only doing it because of earning a 3rd medal once I complete Marshall Half-Marathon later this fall, the Kid is doing it just to get another 'New' Half-Marathon. 

I signed us both up last year and choose Blackberry Mountain. This race is very different. 2 separate Half's and a Marathon. River Road Half starts in an entirely different area. The Full-Marathon and us doing Blackberry started in same are but finished in different places...

At any rate we are here and going to enjoy our time together, girlie Hannah will join us later tonight, she's also running Blackberry. 

Race recap to come, for now let's go eat and settle into hotel...

 

Thursday Thoughts

Thought the new Waffle Stop tape was Awesome! It's used to close Doordash orders...

Thought today's Kiwanis speaker Bryce Gibson' information on our local homeless was  👀 eye oppening 🧐 and 🧠 mind blowing 🤯.  It's tremendously a larger number than I  thought. 

I Thought it was a great idea to get my #streakingwiththeCOOLKIDS mile in at the park since I was this close.

*****

Not much else, waiting on my Mr to get off so we can catch up and relax. Dinner is fish with large salad on the side. I still haven't packed for race'cation [ugh], but I do have my list so it shouldn't take long in the morning. 

 

Wednesday in the Word + Other Wonders

 

And it's HUMP DAY !!!

I know, I know it's CrAzY to think about...but Why Wait??

I've been interacting with Mrytle Beach for a while, and because I've been pestering engaging with them I've become a Top Fan!!

Work afternoon at the hospital Gift shop today 1p-4p [sorry forgot picture [UGH] it was slow!! Luckily I took some homework to catch up on and my book to read.

Working with my Friends with Apex Promoz they're having a 5K event to help with school supplies. I'm going to do MORE than my part with not just photography & promoting but will also donate as well.

Another forgot to take photo was the follow-up for Pie's in the Park. We did better than last year and 

🧠 brain🧠 storm ideas for 2027...That my Friends is how we Kiwanian's roll... 🤣

Wednesday in the Word for the duration will be during evening hours. Which suits us just fine. Mr works on Wednesdays and I re-arranged my schedule to attend with him.

Home afterwards to leftover Spaghetti, Showers, and a bit of TV watching...work morning for me tomorrow at Waffle Stop...and then regular Kiwanis meeting. I still need to pack for runRace'cation and go to the bank. I'm so under prepared, but going to do whatever I can and get working on a re-boot, and 🥾 Boot 🥾 my behind in Gear!!

Night All, Tomorrow starts at 5:30am

** Reflection(s) **

Early Wake Up + And so It begins... + Garden Club

Though reluctantly, the Mr agreed to move our vehicle's last night in preparation for roofers to start. AND it was a good thing because we had a ''wake-up'' while dawn was barely breaking through. The crew arrived, unloaded truck, set out tarps, and once they could actually 👀 see the roof it was a flurry of workers and shingles coming off...

We knew there were areas that needed repaired...

4 pallets of shingles and repair items...

Though we [ ''I'' ] went a little over budget, I made the decision to not repair but rebuild above porch area. This is for a future [ hopefully this year ] project.

My JinX was the only indoor PurrKid being 👃 Nosey 👃. He got his workout in going from window to window. I'm not sure where the outdoor PurrKids were during all this.

*****

I had Garden Club today. I wasn't staying for the entire meeting since we had roof crew working.

My fearless GC leader Mimi...

We had a great size group of members today,

I left for GC at 12:45pm the crew had sat down to eat lunch and when I came home the rest of the Front and Back side was finished...

Then they started rebuilding the porch roof,

So Much work happened today and the crew ended up staying longer then expected, [ their choice ],

So we did virtual Bible Study at home..

*****

The crew arrives tomorrow for finishing touches, and contractors arrive for their own final inspection of the work. After talking things over with the Mr, I'll be going over a ''few'' project estimates I want to try and do...Pray for him, I've added a new Team to my list.
