Beep... Beep
Good morning! We're back from Mass at St. Patricks and breakfast at DFE. Claire and I need to hustle and get to work on the lawn because a storm in NY is heading this way...
Phew! Claire and I just finished doing the lawn. What a sweat-fest out there! I'm all showered up and am going to run some errands, and maybe hunt for a good smoothie. Michelle and Abby are just back from grocery shopping. I'm glad Michelle took someone with who could give her a hand with things.
Changed the batteries in all the smoke detectors as one of them started chirping with the low battery warning. Michelle and Claire ran to Cassidy's Grill to grab some frozen drinks.
We had a brief thunderstorm late this afternoon. Nevertheless Michelle grilled burgers and hot dogs for dinner. Again she's trying to get back to life as usual, even if she is forced to favor her left hand for now. After dinner we were relaxing watching an extra long, two parter of Dr. Quinn when the smoke detectors started a chorus. Since I knew the batteries should all be good, Timothy and I took it upon ourselves to take them down, gut them open, and vacuum out their insides of dust and dust bunnies, just in case. Hopefully they don't go off again...
On the advice of a friend and articles like this one, I decided to give Firefox another try with their new version 6. The last time I used Firefox regularly was well over a year ago. I'll give it a week. Luckily it isn't that hard to export my main bookmarks from Chrome and import them into Firefox. And LastPass is handling all the login passwords.
