Joanna This is for you Ruth! Evangeline statue at the Acadian village in the St. John Valley. We've visited many times!

1. They don't give you a choice about having it done.
2. They won't let you leave the property with your pets while they are working.

They owe you an explanation of what is going on!

I think so, too! It's all I am asking for. Just communicate and let me know what's going on. They did the same project at my mom's house next door about 5 years ago and they let her know every detail. I can't believe the company has deteriorated so much in 5 years! Well, I just have wait and see what happens.

Dorothy,
You are right...I have NO choice, cannot leave the property, and am given no explanation at all. I'm starting to feel embarrassed, having to constantly talk to the neighbors about moving cars, etc.. I am glad they at least put up signs this time. They have been here 7 times in the last 2 weeks for something that should have taken 1 day! I'm beyond frustrated! My poor cat, Clara, hates the noise! I feel like telling the gas company they can't do this anymore because I will sue them on behalf of my cat! Wouldn't that be something!?

This is beautiful and very serene! How lovely! I have heard of the Acadian Village, but have never visited or seen pictures. It's calming just to look at it.☺

No, because it was in a thicket and I didn't want to surprise him/her. 🤣

I was on the outside of the thicket (at the edge of the woods) and heard something big moving around but couldn't see. I even stood on a big rock trying to see but a silly squirrel started scolding me and it got quiet.

Lily Rose Dorothea | 1454 comments Imagine my horror when a friend told us this morning that the currents in Puerto Rico were very "currenty!" He must have noticed my expression, because he said, "It's in the dictionary, trust me!" After he left I looked it up. Not there. 😒

I'm ready to skip right to Spring! 🌷🌸🌱🌼Around here, Fall always brings hurricanes.🌧🌬🌊 Winter brings Polar Vortexes and snowstorms. 🌫❄Yuck!😕 I would love to live somewhere that feels like April year round!🌤🌝😎 I'm not too particular or demanding, am I ???😉😆

Spring's wonderful, too! Fall has just always been my favorite season! But, yes, I understand worrying about stuff like that. We don't get hurricanes here, but Indiana is known for Tornados. 😒 And that's always been one of my greatest fears!! So, no, you are NOT particular or demanding!! 😂


message 2981: by Pamela (new)

Pamela | 2209 comments I thought a tornado was coming here last evening...the sky got green, then yellow, and then huge wall clouds started to form. They said the wind gusted to 69 mph at the local airport! I've only seen the sky look like it did yesterday once before, in Minnesota...right before the tornado warning sirens started to blow. I was terrified, so can imagine how scary it is to live where they are common.😳 I think I would build an underground bunker!😲

Oh wow!! 😲
A few weeks ago, we were standing on our porch, and we saw a funnel cloud form right over our heads. And so we just stood there and watched it, and it passed over and didn't form into a Tornado, but we were all laughing, because we just stood there. 🤣 I was kind of frozen in spot. 🙈 I am ready to!!!!

I've done the same thing! My town is in a flight path between the Philadelphia and the Lehigh Valley airports. Several years ago a huge passenger jet dropped down fast and flew so low that it was just above the water tower in town. The noise was deafening and my parents and I just stood there, too! I think you really can become frozen with fear! We never did hear anything about what happened that day.

Oh dear! That sounds scary! 😬
Yeah, I remember telling myself, "I really should go inside..." But instead I watched. 🤣🤣 The feeling was what was so scary!! It got so quiet and dark. 🤐 Oh, I hope we never get hit by a Tornado!! 😱🤣

1) When did I say I liked England? (Not that I'm denying it...)
2) ReadING Jane Austen; I've never finished one.
