Well, it's Friday. Usually I am quite happy when Friday rolls around, but not today, as it's the last day of our vacation. We spent most of our time off doing errands, but it was still great to be away from work. We had some good days and some not so good days.
First, the not so good days. We had the heater guy come out on Tuesday to fix our heater that has been broken since May. Who needs heat in the summer? But with fall around the corner we figured it was time. Tuesday evening we noticed we had no hot water. We figured the heater guy must have turned off the gas flow since the water heater is right next to the heater. But we fiddled around with it and could not get it going. The water heater guy came out on Wednesday morning and told us our water heater had a leak in it and would have to be replaced. Many hundreds of dollars later we have a new water heater. Not quite what we wanted to spend our hard earned money on but there you go. We can't live without hot water.
Now onto the good days. We got to go golfing for the first time in forever with Jerry & Brenda last Sunday. On Monday we did the Rutledge corn maze and also bought me a new set of golf clubs. I figure one set every 18 years is not asking too much. On Tuesday Scott & I went back to Scott Lake and tried out my new golf clubs. I must admit they are pretty nice. Yesterday we had the piano tuner out and now our piano sounds great! After that we went back to the golf course with the girls acting as our caddies once again. It was quite warm and Gabby kept going into the shade and drinking all the water. After we got back I took an hour nap. Ah, bliss! Last night I had dinner with some friends and then book club at my house.
Today is more errands. We are headed to the middle school to pay fees & get Corey's P.E. clothes. This will be followed by hopefully a trip to the local historical homes and then dinner & games at Jerry & Brenda's.
It wasn't a whirlwind vacation or anything, but I have to admit being off work is quite the luxury. I cannot wait to be retired!

Sounds like you were busier on your vacation that you are while you work :) Glad you had some fun time.
Too bad about your water heater! What was wrong with your furnace? Glad to hear about the new golf clubs...I'm still confused though...I thought Scott was the one who wanted new golf clubs. :) Sounds like you made good use of them though. Glad you had a good week off and got some catching up done.
