Early Wednesday July 3, 2013

We have spent the last two days at Margaret and Jack’s house.  The two men from Home Depot installed the carpet in their house over the past two days and we have spent that time moving furniture in and out of the rooms.  It was quite an effort but at least it is done for the big stuff.  Margaret still has a  lot of work putting the little stuff away and getting her house back in order.

They also got their new big screen TV and the Chavez Brothers came over and installed the entertainment center around the new TV and it looks good.  We had all the TVs working and everything hooked up correct with the surround sound and the DVD players, etc. working and all was good in the world of TVs at Margaret and Jack’s house until Margaret called me and said the TV in the Master bedroom was able to change channels.  I went down and did what I could but nothing worked.  Finally Margaret called Dish Network and it turned out that they have a bad remote.  They will ship one and it will get here on Saturday.  What a bummer, you spent all that time getting new stuff set up and running and then an old item that you wouldn’t think would go bad, goes bad and you are thinking it is something that you didn’t hook up correct and spend time double checking everything you have done.  Oh well, at least it is something easy to fix. (Maybe)

It is starting to get light outside and I noticed that the Hummingbirds are gathering around the feeders.  I have three feeders on the front porch and they are about 2-3 feet away from each other and one was empty.  The other two had sugar water in them but the Hummers had decided that they wanted to drink out of the empty one.  There were about five of them hovering around the empty feeder and none around the two with water in them.  So what do I do but stop writing and go fill up the empty feeder and now they are about 20 Hummers and they are feeding off all three feeder.  They seem to be most active early in the morning and just before dark at night.
