My back is hurting today and aching joints, plus it was hot and high humidity, not a day to be working outside. After we got our exercise done and ready to face the day, Cheri made chicken and dumplings to have for lunch and supper. Then she disappeared in the sewing room. I went next door to talk to our neighbor about what I wanted to do on adding concrete and a bigger carport. I didn’t need her approval but thought it was the right thing to do. We talked for while and told her if there was anything I could do to help her to let me know. She said she was having trouble with her toilet. I checked it out and she needs a new fill valve, told her I would pick one up and install it for her. It was near noon when I got back to the house. I made a couple of calls to see about getting someone to come and give us an estimate on the concrete work. After lunch Cheri and I went to Lowe’s to get the toilet parts and look at plants for the front of the house. We also checked on watering systems for the plants. We aren’t sure what we want and need to go to a place where we can get more information like a plant nursery. We thought we knew where one was on the south side of town because when we drive by there are a lot of plants out in front, when we got there and drove in it was really and outside vegetable and fruit stand. We did buy a watermelon while we were there. We made one more stop to see about awnings for the front of the house. We want the see though awnings and are having trouble finding a place that sells them. The place we stopped at use to sell them and told us they could order them but didn’t have any good information on how to measure for them. So I need to do some more searching for them.
