Tara came by today. She took a look at the damage to the garage and noticed the car was there and looked intact. She figured out that we had the damage to the car fixed, however. BUT....now I understand why my sister Cee thought I might have been hurt. The way HE told the story to Tara, she thought I had gone through the garage door and hit the wall at the back of the garage.
I was ready to throttle him, as you can imagine. He got this sheepish look on his face when she told me HIS tale of the damage. We DID laugh about it. Mainly because she had at least only told her mother, father and brother the tale.....as told by the Beast. Sheesh! Like I didn't feel bad enough.
Dennis and Di got back today. He claims he didn't lose any weight but I swear, he lost his gut and looks about 20 lbs lighter. Even Chewlee said he looked different but Dennis thinks it's because he shaved off his beard. I asked Chewlee about that and she said she forgot he had one so it wasn't that. She said he looked skinnier. I agree with her but then, who knows? He's been through a lot and told us some of the pain he went through and the way the doctor reacted to that part. I told him that if they haven't gone through the same thing themselves, they just don't understand about pain.
But it's nice to have them back. The Beast has his buddy close to him and Dennis is actually good to have around. He'll be helpful when the Beast has to take down his cabinets and then put them back up again.
I found out that Dennis is building a special tornado shelter when his house is built. It will be big enough for them and us, too. Thank you, Lord. It's to be a 10 x 14' underground shelter. He's going to put benches around it to sit on so we won't have to sit on the floor. He said he hasn't decided if he's going to put lights in it or just keep a large battery operated floodlight in it for an emergency.
We went out to dinner at the Italian restaurant that the Princess used to work at so Chewlee HAD to go with us so she could see the people there. Even the owner came over to talk to us because Chewlee went to greet her. After Chewlee had eaten, she was helping to clear off tables and then cleaning them up and straightening all the things on it for the next people. She meant well but I'm sure some of the things would have to be rearranged by the girls. LOL!
We dropped her off at home after dinner along with the rest of the child's order of pepperoni pizza. I think it was meant for a much older child. It was actually a small pizza that cut up into about 8 slices. But I'm sure the Princess and Johnnycakes will finish it off.
Cool here but not that crispy cold like we had several days ago. Dennis and Di were glad to hear it because they need to adjust after the heat in Texas they had. But the day time has been nice with only the need for long sleeves or a light jacket in the evening. That's due to change, however. But I'm not even going to think about it until it happens.
Love you all. Have a fantastic weekend regardless of your weather. Defy it! **Wink**
