Hugs for you, just because.

Good morning Cafè. Coffee is ready.

We had a short but strong thunderstorm last night. Bella was beside herself. You'd think with age and many experiences with thunderstorms she'd have figured out by now they don't hurt her. They are just loud.

Poor Bella! Both of our Dobermans hated thunderstorms. Both would find Daddy (hubby) and lean against him. Raven would put her head on his lap.

The clock repairman is coming today to fix Grandpa. The movement needed to be replaced. He could have fixed it, but it wouldn't have been on his bench until February. Buying a new one was about the same price. $1100-1200. I thought, well, everything is more expensive now. Then I saw all the gears and fiddly bits... yeah, that's a reasonable price, to me.

There was never a question as to whether we'd fix it. Hubby's dad made this clock from a kit and finished it on election day, 1976.

We've looked at that corner where the case stands 20-30 times a day. I miss the chiming too.

The clock company, Howard Miller, is or recently has, gone out of business. I asked this guy what he thought of that. He said he's surprised they held on this long. The younger generations just don't want those kinds of things.

But the older generations want to keep their clocks running, so this guy is very busy.

Good morning and thanks for the coffee!
Rainy and cool here. We had a neighborhood picnic yesterday and the weather cooperated perfectly by holding off on the rain until 3PM.
I am grandkid sitting today so I guess I had better get moving.
Enjoy the day, Cafe!

All of our goldens got more storm reactive as they got older.
