I painted this morning. I did my shelf and I painted the landscaping timbers across the front. I also painted the barrel near the shed. The shelf got painted almond and the timbers and barrel are redwood.

I assembled the shelf and will fill it up tomorrow with the boxes I have in the room. I made a reservation in Wildwood Crest for the weekend. My cousins are having their Small Family Reunion in Cape May. The Crest is the next town to Cape May and has more hotels and is less expensive.

I pulled out the refrigerator to look at the line for the ice maker. I thought it may be frozen. It appears to have no water in it. I don't know how to prime the line to get the air out and the water flowing up into it. I bought a large bag of ice yesterday and will have to use that until I figure out what to do. The frig slides out easily. My frig in Vineland doesn't slide well at all. It gauges the floor when we try to move it.

I called my sister-in-law, Kathy to RSVP her daughter's wedding. I lost the RSVP card and didn't remember the choices for the reception.

My brother, Don, called. He will be able to go with me to the wedding in Michigan. I do not like flying by myself and it is too far to drive on my own.

It was hot and humid today with a little thunder showers.

It will take a few days for the ice maker to get going again. Since it is the highest point in the household water system, it attracts all of the air in the water line.

Most ice makers use a timer to turn the water valve on and off and not an actual fill sensor. And, since ice makers use very little water, it will be a while before the air is out of the line.

When ever you shut off the water, turn off the ice maker as well. FWIW.

Thanks Ned. I didn't know what I should do. I'll turn the ice maker back on and hope for the best. I didn't think about the ice maker when I shut off the water. I turn off the hot water heater but never gave the ice maker a thought. I guess it was full until this 100 degree weather. I used it a lot more and it was nearly empty when I left and shut off the water.
