Good morning, Friends...It's been a little busier around here, than usual. Our air conditioner coils are leaking and Larry doesn't want to replace them. Almost $3000 just for the coil unit...plus labor...and if anything else goes wrong with the a/c, more money, so...we are getting a new complete unit. The guy starts on it today.
Larry has been mowing our across the street neighbor's lawn, now for almost three years. The husband (Al) owned an air conditioning business. Before he passed away, he asked Larry to just be there if his wife Marie, needed help. Well, Larry just started mowing her lawn, no charge. And we are there if she needs anything else. Well, that's the dilemma...
The last time one of Marie's techs (Al's brother) came to refill the freon (because it has a slow leak no one told us about it) Larry asked him to please work us up an estimate on a new unit. Well, that was over 2 months ago and still no word. Well...we then called a company called Jacobs-Cathey. We worked with them a lot in all the years we worked in our plumbing business... (now we are retired, and Larry's brother and wife are running it). Well, that was about two weeks ago...Larry went there personally to talk with them...they apologized and said the tech must have just gotten busy and forgot to turn the work sheet in. ok...that estimate turned out to be over $11 thousand dollars...(grabbing my chest). SO he called an a/c guy that our daughter and granddaughter had worked for years ago...Bailey AC. He called Larry back about an hour later...came by an hour after that and had our bid for $8300 in less than 30 minutes.
Now...When Marie see's Bailey AC in our driveway...what do I tell her?? I know she's going to be upset about us using someone else.
Larry said to just tell her the truth...her tech never got back to us..."it's business", he said. I know she's going to be upset...I'll let you know how it turns out...say a prayer for peaceful waters. We've had enough shocks this week...
We stopped at our favorite Chinese food joint...They are cheap and give you enough food for several days! This was Larry's Chicken Fried Rice...
Waiting for our order...
We had a fun time and a change of clothes...got her banana all over herself...I missed the piece on her lip...lol
A new project all folded away when I get through with the quilt...hopefully, soon! lol
The material I found is so sweet...
I made air fryer Cornish hen...
I made Instant Pot yogurt...Seriously good!! I never knew that the longer you leave the yogurt to ferment, the tangier the taste! SO, I left it for just 6 hours and talk about delicious!! Vanilla...
The other photo was my Lemon chicken...
Here's an upgraded plastic bag blower Larry made! It works great and I can easily wash and dry them now. Too darn expensive to throw away!
I made Chicken Salad...delicious if you like a sweet salad.
Grapes, chicken chunks, mayonnaise, mustard, slivered almonds and about 2 cups of Cool Whip. Mix well and refrigerate.
Serve on your favorite bread.
Well, that's about it for me...Hope you all are all well and safe. Please pray for America...and the families of the shooting that happened this past Sunday. Thank God President Trump turned his head...ever so slightly. Pray for unity...and a peaceful election.
So... until next time...
