Letting My Light Shine

I noticed the other night that the motion detector on my outside security light wasn't detecting motion. So I performed the universal diagnostic test and tapped the lens. And my finger went right through the housing. So off to Lowes I went and got a replacement one. Seems pretty good - I can set it so it stays on all night at 50% power, then ramps up to 100% when motion is detected. Went up with no problems. I was so proud of myself that I installed it without dropping a single screw. Then I realized I needed to run the ground wire through the grommet. Unscrewed the screw. Dropped it. It rolled away. Had to get down from the ladder and on my hands and knees to find it. But I got it all back together and all is good.

Yesterday I took the kids to the dentist (they are fine - no cavities and Elliott's teeth still aren't ready for braces the doc says). While I was there waiting in the lobby, an old man was having difficulty getting out of his chair. His granddaughter couldn't pull him out so a couple of nearby women got up to help. Well, I couldn't let them put me to shame so I got up and took over. The old man had me turn this way and stand in that way and then he finally grabbed my arm and I raised him to his feet. As he shuffled off to his car, he thanked me and explained that he had no legs below his knees...

Cooked up some steaks and scallops (on sale) for dinner last night. That was good.

Today I am taking Ashleigh over for her annual contact lens checkup and tonight there is another girls church group pool party over here.
