Rainy Days of July

Not to jinx the the flow of goodness, but how crazy has this week been with all of the thunderstorms and RAIN on back-to-back days! I am so happy to get the rain, believe me, but I can definitely do without all the lightening strikes! Not only are they hair-raisingly scary to hear and feel, but they can do some serious damage. Unfortunately, we did not weather this stormy week in July damage-free. Yes, the storm on Monday (which was by far the worst one of this week) managed to fry our garage door motor. Not only will we have to replace the entire set-up, it will cost almost $200! And this is not the first one to be fried for us either! So we cruised up to Home Depot last night after work and researched the price for a new garage door opener. Even with my 10% off coupon I have, it is still going to $180... Bummer. And since we only have one key to the front door, we also had copies made of the key- one Georgia Tech one for me and one UGA one for Hubby (because he thinks he is funny). And wouldn't you know that when we got home, the new keys did not work! Oh well, what is another trip to HD? Just more gas wasted!
One positive note... with all of the rain we have gotten, my tomato plants are really growing!

There are little green tomatoes every where on them... we will be eating tomato sandwiches soon enough..
