First Week, First Post

So this is officially my first blog of our assignment.  Remember, I said I would do this with you, so here I am!
I was awakened this morning to the sound of hammering.  My neighbor is building a big building, and the roof was being completed today. I'm sure they started at 6:00 a.m. to get a jump start on the heat, but now it's 9:00, and they are done.  Did they really have to wake me up at 6:00?  It looks like a nice roof.
Since I was awake, I noticed we had no power.  I learned it went out around 3:00 this morning.  It was off for about 4 hours. I wonder if the roofers used too many power tools.
So now I am sitting in my front yard, trying to hold a small rummage sale. I hope I can make $50, but the traffic isn't here yet.  Maybe I needed to advertise!
This is a good one:  I went to church yesterday, and afterward, I went up to the priest and introduced myself. I said, "I'm Nancy Winker," and he replied, "Of course, you are."  As if he knew me?!  Is he Jesus? I said, "Oh, are they talking about me around here already?" to which he smiled and said, "No, you were my English teacher in Wall." 
He seems to have learned something from me, since his sermon was excellent. He spoke well, and had perfect grammar.
