It was 63 degrees for the morning walk and no wind. I left the house at 6:45 am to get the breakfast sandwich at the Hole-in-One donut shop. Then back home for breakfast and coffee. Then out the door again at 7:30 am heading to Lowes to pick up the deck boards for the deck project. I work on the deck project until 1:00 pm. It was too hot and not in the shade any longer. The high temp was in the low 80’s and the humidity is back. Cheri was taking it easy reading and watching TV. After I showered and got cleaned up we headed to Lakeland to have dinner at Harry’s and were back home by 5:00 pm. It was a normal evening of TV and had a dish of ice cream later in the evening.

This is how I got on the project Friday.

This is how far I got today.

It was a little warmer this morning for the walk, only needed a light jacket. I started the laundry this morning and Cheri finished it. Cheri busied herself with the normal Friday housework. I left at 9:00 am to work on the patio deck project. I had another good day except for later in the afternoon. I ended up with too much sun and had to quit at 2:30 pm. I forgot to take a picture of the progress I made today. We had planned on going Lakeland to eat at Harry’s this evening but when I got home I told Cheri I was too tired and exhausted to go. After I got cleaned up I headed to the recliner and had an hours nap. Cheri fixed us breakfast for supper. Had eggs, bacon, hash browns, juice, and English muffins. This evening we watched Life below Zero the Next Generation, Airplane Repo, and Date Line. Thank you God for a productive day and keeping healthy and safe.

Another nice morning walking with a temp at 56 degrees and no wind. I left the house at 9:00 am and picked up Ron Sharp to go to his daughter’s rental to install a new dishwasher. The trip should only take a half hour but today there was so much traffic in both directions that we couldn’t move only a few feet at a time. We finally got off on a side street but had to drive an extra 20 miles to get there. I had to come up with some special fittings to install the water to the dishwasher which I figured I wouldn’t have with me. But after going through my plumbing boxes I came up with the right fittings. While working on the dishwasher I got another call that neighbors of some church friends had a leak under the bathroom sink and wanted me to check it out. It was on my way home so stopped and it was a small leak in the waste line and all I had to do was tighten it up. The neighbor will be gone for a month and wants to shut off the water to the house. Well the water shutoff box at the street was full of sand. I cooped out three pails of sand to get to the shutoff valves. From there I took the old dishwasher to the scarp yard and then stopped fill up the truck with gas. It was 2:30 pm when I got home. I missed lunch so was really hungry. After eating a sandwich I headed to the shower to get cleaned up. Cheri was busy with laundry and other housework. She fixed us the rest of the baked spaghetti for supper, which we had later because of my late lunch. This evening we watched more episodes of Airplane Repo. Thank you God for a blessed day with safe travels and helping us with our projects.

It was 46 degrees this morning for the walk and no breeze which made for a nice walk. I was out the door at 9:00 am to work on the deck project. I made another change to the project. It started out as a 4’ by 7’ deck. A couple days ago it got change to 4’ by 10’ deck because one of the post would fall right in the middle of the liana window. So today I thought that the 4’ by 10’ wouldn’t look right so I extended it by 2’ and now the deck will be 6’ by 10’ which will make it look better. I did get a lot done today and needed an additional 10’ 2 by 6 plus some misalliance bolts and hangers. So I knock off early to go to Lowes. I was home by 4:00 pm. Cheri went shopping today and even bought me a few things. She made a baked French bread loaf for supper. This evening we watched several episodes of a show that Cheri found. I think the name of the show was Airplane Repo. They go out and reposes airplanes that haven’t been paid for. It is on the Discovery Chanel. They also show a couple other guys reposing million dollar yachts. Thank you God for guiding us through this day and keeping us healthy.

Today temps were pretty much the same as yesterday. I left the house at 6:30 am for my accountability breakfast and Bible study. We studied the first part of Acts chapter nine. It was near 9:00 am when I got home. At 9:30 am I headed over to Donna’s to start on the deck project. By the time I got all the materials unloaded and back to the house to get my saws and other tools it was near noon. So we had lunch before going back to work. Cheri was busy with the Tuesday house work and went to the grocery store to get things to make a tossed salad that I have to take for my Men’s Night Out. I had a design change in the deck and had to make another trip to Lowes for additional materials so I didn’t get much done today and had to quit early to get cleaned up and be at the church 6:00 pm to help set things up for Men’s Night Out. Our devotions was on how to be a good steward with what God gives us. It was getting near 9:00 pm when I got home. I was tired from the day and decided to head to bed and watch a little TV before calling it a night. Thank you God for a blessed day and spending time in fellowship and learning about your word.

This is a picture of Donna's deck project before I stated. I will try to remember and add pictures as the project progresses.

It was a couple degrees warmer this morning for the walk. It turned out to be a very nice day with the temp topping out around 80 degrees. I left the house at 8:45 am for dermatology appointment at the VA in Tampa. I got a good report and nothing to be removed. I had to wait 45 minutes before I could get in. It was noon when I got home. I stepped in the house and could smell chocolate cookies that Cheri made this morning. Cheri continues with her walking and exercises each day. After lunch I went over to Donna Perkins to take some more measurements and make a list of materials I need for the deck project. On the way to Lowes I stopped at Harbor Freight to pick up a couple things I needed. At Lowes I got all the materials to frame up the deck project. It was 4:00 pm by the time I got home. Cheri fixed us leftover baked spaghetti which I think was better as all the favors soaked in. I tried to do some reading before supper but that didn’t work as I couldn’t stay awake. This evening we watched the Rookie, NCIS LA, NCIS New Orleans, and Date Line. Thank you God for a blessed day.

It was 52 degrees this morning but breezy for the morning walk. It was the only time I was outside today. It was a normal Sunday with streaming the church service at 10:00 am. Then at 11:30 am streaming the Sunday school lesson. The lesson was titled “Loved” from Luke 7:40-50. Jesus saves all who come to Him in faith. At 12:30 pm we started the oven for our Sunday pizza. This afternoon we watched an episode of Date Line and then watched NASCAR racing. Later in the evening we watched a movie we had recorded. Thank you God for a relaxing day and spending time with you.

It was 21 degrees colder this morning than yesterday morning. The temp today had a hard time making it to 70 degrees today. Nothing much going on in the Sharp house today. I did some computer work this morning. Later I went over to Donna’s to see about building a small platform and stairs to her lanai. Yes I said that I wasn’t going to do any more work but she is a good friend and I couldn’t say no to her. Cheri went shopping today and came home with nothing, couldn’t find anything that interested her. Most of the afternoon was spent reading and napping for me. Cheri fixed us baked spaghetti and French bread for supper. She made extra and will have it for couple more meals. There was an old motorhome sitting in the lot behind us. It has been sitting there for a couple of years. Well this afternoon around 2:30 pm a big box truck came in to pull it out. Well it was quite the site as they kept trying to pull it and it would move. They even got the box truck stuck in the sand. After breaking the pull chain a couple of times they went and got a jack and some boards to put under the wheels on the motorhome. After several more tries they finally got it to move. Then pulling it around a tree to get it out they got the box truck stuck under a limb from the tree. They had to get a chain saw to cut the limb off in order to get the truck out. Long story short by 7:00 pm they finally got it out of the yard. The rest of the evening was watching a movie and Date Line. Thank you God for a relaxing day.

It was 71 degrees this morning for the walk, no jacket needed. After Cheri got out of the shower I got the Friday bedding laundry started. Later Cheri and I worked together making the bed, a lot easier with both of us doing it. We had rain off and on all day making it miserable to be out and the temp was dropping all day. I did go out for a haircut this morning. After lunch Cheri went grocery shopping and I worked on the ice cube maker as it was frozen and needed to get it thawed out. I went out in the shed to get my heat gun and couldn’t find it. I looked for it as I knew where it was supposed to be, well it was there and I keep looking past it. Cheri was back from shopping before I got it thawed out. After an hour or so I heard ice drop so it must be working again. Cheri and I did some reading this afternoon but it was napping for me as I couldn’t stay awake to read. Cheri fixed us steak and a baked potato for supper along with some fresh French bread. This evening we watched some shows we had recorded. The temp was already down to 54 degrees when called it a night. Thank you God for productive day and keeping us healthy.

It was 68 degrees this morning for the walk and got up into the low 80’s today with a lot of sunshine. I started the Thursday laundry this morning and Cheri finished it later in the morning. She also had a knee doctor appointment this morning and got a good report and doesn’t have to go back for four months. I headed out at 9:00 am and headed to Dade City to check out what materials I needed to repair the ramp railing that goes into our Sunday school house. Then headed to Lowes to get the materials and home to get the saw and other tools I would need for the project. I was going to wait until after lunch but it was still early so headed back to the Sunday school building to do the project. I changed out sixteen spindles and reattached several more. It was 1:45 pm when I got home. I had a late lunch and then headed to the shower to get cleaned up. I tried to read some but ended up taking a nap. Later we read some more and then watched some TV. We had the rest of the leftover pork roast for supper. We settled in this evening watching the Chicago shows and Seal Team before calling it a night. Thank you God for Cheri’s good report and keeping us healthy and safe.

The Sunday school project.

It was a cool day with a light breeze and didn’t see much sun. We left the house at 9:00 am and headed up to Ocala to visit with Peter and Vickie TeBeest who are down from Wisconsin for three months. Peter and I worked together at the phone company for many years. It was good to see them and spend the day together. It was 7:00 pm when we got home. We were still full from lunch today so settled for some crackers and cheese and later a dish of ice cream. We watched a movie and a home improvement show before calling it a night. Thank you God for safe travels and time spent with good friends.

It was another nice walk this morning. But when I left at 6:30 am for my accountability group breakfast and Bible study there was a stiff breeze that made it cold. Had a good Bible study and finished Acts Chapter 8. When I got home I worked scanning some tax papers for our son Darren. He uses our address because it takes up two months to send mail to Mexico and then sometimes it doesn’t get to him. So by scanning it and e-mailing it to him works the best. Later I went out to do a quick wash on the car and truck. Normally I would take them through the car wash on Wednesday but we are going to be gone all day Wednesday and not able to do it. Cheri was busy with exercises, walking, and house work this morning. This afternoon and evening we spent time reading and watching more movies from ShowTime and Starz. Our arms are a little sore from the virus shot yesterday. Thank you God for a blessed day.

It was another nice morning for the walk with a temp of 66 degrees. It was cloudy with a breeze and some rain showers throughout the day. We took it easy this morning as nothing going on until 10:40 am when we had to be down at the club house to receive or virus shots. When we go home it was almost lunch time. We watched a show while eating our lunch. Later I went out and restocked the truck getting things ready for tomorrow. Cheri worked on getting a pork roast in the crockpot to have for supper along with scalloped potatoes. We both spent a lot of the day taking it easy and reading our novels. This evening we watch more movies we recorded from the free ShowTime and Starz. Thank you God for a blessed day getting the virus shots to help us stay free of the virus.

Happy Valentine’s Day. Cheri and I were in engaged 54 years ago. It was raining this morning so there wasn’t any walk. It rained off and on most of the day and received another ¾ inch. Cheri got her walking and exercises done before we streamed the church service at 10:00 am. Pastor James delivered the message today. We are still doing a series on how to be a good disciple. The message today was from John 1:35-51. Our Sunday school lesson was titled “Reigns” from Luke 6:1-11. Jesus prioritizes meeting people’s needs over keeping rituals. At 12:30 pm I went down to the club house to pick up our free Valentines meal put on by the park and HOA. We had meatloaf with mashed potatoes, gravy, peas & carrots, and cake for dessert, it was very good. Dish had free ShowTime and Starz for a couple of days so we watched several movies today. At 3:00 pm I started to watch the Daytona Five Hundred which after a few laps had a big wreck and then the rain came. So it was in a rain delay until 9:15 pm. I watched the first stage and the called it a night. Hope I can watch the rest of it tomorrow. We got notice this afternoon that our virus shots for us will be at 10:40 am tomorrow morning at the club house. Thank you Good for time spent with you streaming the church service and the Sunday school lesson.

It was 68 degree this morning made for a nice walk. At 7:00 am I headed out to the Hole-in-One donut shop for the Saturday morning breakfast. Around 8:00 am it started to rain and continued most of the morning. I did some computer work this forenoon but with the rain I didn’t feel like going out. Later in the day Cheri and I filled out our paper work so we can get our virus shot here in the park. They are going to call us tomorrow with the time for our shots. The rest of the day was spent reading, napping, and watching TV. We watched movies, Dateline, Gold Rush, FBI Most Wanted, and more NASCAR racing. It was nice to have another down day. I checked the rain gauge and see we received 1 ¼ inch of rain. The rain also brought down a bunch of leaves for another project of raking leaves. Thank you God for a blessed day.

It was up to 64 degrees this morning for the walk and top out around 80 degrees. The bug man came at 9:00 am for a second spraying to make sure we have gotten rid of all the German cockroaches. Cheri and I worked on recovering the chair and then took it over to Lou’s. We sat and had a nice visit with her. Cheri had some books from Donna Perkins that she read and wanted to return them so we drove over to her place. Her daughter Kathy was there from Wisconsin. So we had a good visit with them. It was 1:45 pm when we got home. So it was a very late lunch. We watched the second NASCAR race that had been in a rain delay last night. The rest of the afternoon we read and some napping for me. We got notice that the virus shots will be available here in our park Monday. Cheri fixed us a hamburger for a late supper. We weren’t all that hungry because of the late lunch. The evening was spent watching some shows we had recorded don’t really remember what they were. Thank you God for a blessed day and visiting with friends.

The temp this morning was down a few degrees to 59 degrees, still a nice morning for a walk and no wind.  This morning Cheri was busy cleaning off the counter in the kitchen, she had a lot of papers to sort through. I cleaned up my office space as it hasn’t been done for many months, couldn’t believe all the stuff I saved and didn’t need any longer. I also went out and cut out a new seat for the chair we are recovering. That was going to be our project for the day. Well that changed when I got a call from a client over in Tampa Bay country. All the outlets in their kitchen were dead. I was pretty sure it was the ground fault outlet needed to be reset. I told him where to look for it and how to do the reset. It still didn’t work so I headed out and stopped at Lowes and got a new ground fault outlet. When I got there I checked and they had an open neutral. It turned out to be a bad ground fault outlet. So I installed the new one and problem solved. On the way home I stopped and picked up my meds at the pharmacy and got Cheri and I on the list for the virus shot which they will have the end of the month. It was 1:30 pm when I got home. Cheri was on the phone and was able to make appointments with Advent Health to have our virus shots on Tuesday at 8:30 am. After a late lunch I didn’t feel like doing anything else for the day. So I showered and headed to the recliner where Cheri and I read for the rest of the afternoon. We watched Chicago Med and Chicago Fire before it was time to watch NASCAR racing. The second race was in a rain delay and gave up waiting and went to bed. Thank you God for a blessed day and getting us set up for the virus shots.

It was 64 degrees for my walk this morning. The temp topped out in the low 80’s. Cheri was busy getting her exercises and walking done early as she had a 9:00 am appointment to have her hair cut. I worked all morning on getting some reimbursements from our insurance. Also got us an appointment to have our taxes done, the earliest I could get one was for April 8th. Still having problems with my Medicare part D, so I called them again for the third time. I was worried that I hadn’t received any kind of paperwork as Cheri and I signed up at the same time and she got her paper work the end of November. I was afraid they would cancel me for not making a payment. Well I finally got something in the mail today that was mailed the first part of January. The address was all wrong and surprised that it got to me. Later this afternoon Cheri and I made a trip to Lakeland to get some material at Jo-Ann Fabrics for a chair we are recovering for a lady here in our park. While we were in Lakeland we decided to have dinner at Harry’s to celebrate Valentine’s Day as 54 years ago on Valentine’s Day we got engaged. We were back home by 5:30 pm. We settled in for an evening of TV watching FBI, FBI Most Wanted, Dateline, and Life below Zero the Next Generation. Thank you God for guiding us through this day keeping us healthy and safe.

It was 71 degrees this morning when I walked, had a high of 84 degrees more to my liking. I left the house at 6:30 am heading to Dade City for my accountability group breakfast and Bible study. We are still in Acts chapter 8. On the way home I stopped at Lowes to pick up a kitchen sink faucet set to install this afternoon. Cheri had a sleep in this morning and was just getting around when I got home. She was busy today doing vacuuming and mopping the floors. She is still doing her daily exercises and walking. At 10:30 am I picked up Dennis (my walking buddy) as he has friends that need a new garbage disposal and wanted me to do the install because I had all the tools. I was back home at 11:30 am. I rested a bit before Cheri fixed us lunch and then at 1:00 pm I went to install the kitchen faucet set, had to make another trip to Lowes to get some new shut off valves as the old ones no longer would work. I was done work by 3:30 pm. After I got cleaned up and joined Cheri to watch a Hallmark movie but ended up napping. When I woke up at 5:30 pm Cheri fixed us supper. We had hotdogs with potato salad along with cucumbers and carrot with some French dip. I was a happy camper this evening because NSCAR started this evening. So my evening was spent watching the pre-race show and then the race, Cheri even watched with me. Thank you God for a blessed day.

It was much warmer this morning but breezy so needed a light jacket. I was slow getting around this morning as I didn’t have to be at work until 10:00 am. I worked at a party here in the park as she had a list of things she wanted done. Hang a picture, change light bulb in hood vent, fix shed door that wouldn’t stay closed, and reattach a floor molding. She wanted me to walk around the house and check things out. I did find a section of siding that was loose on the house. So this afternoon I removed about 10 square feet that had been installed with staples and had broken the siding. So I reinstalled it with siding nails which should have been used in the beginning. It was near 4:00 pm when I got home. Cheri had been busy with housework, doing her exercises, and made a batch of chocolate chip cookies. After I showered I headed to the recliner to rest a while before supper. Well I got a call from a party here in the park that had a water leak under the sink. So I headed out to check it out. It turned out to be a pipe sticking out of the ground under the house that had been caped. The end cap had a crack in it and was spraying water under the house by where the water goes to the sink. I went home and got the repair parts for it and then back to fix it. It only took about an hour and a half to get it completed and back home. Cheri fixed us leftover chicken and dumplings we had a few days ago, still very good. This evening we watched some episodes Building in Alaska. Thank you God for guiding us through this day keeping us healthy and safe from the virus.

This morning it was 62 degrees for the walk. But I could see and hear lighting and thunder. I checked the radar and thought I could get the walk in before it rained. I got a text from Dennis letting me know he wasn’t going to walk. I had checked my phone just before I left the house and hadn’t received anything from him. Well when I got to our meeting spot I checked the phone again and had the text that he wasn’t walking. So I continued by myself. I was two house away from home when the rain started so I got the walk in without getting wet. We streamed the church service like we have done for the last few months. Today we didn’t go to Sunday school because there were so many and couldn’t stay at a safe distance so we streamed it. Hope after we get our virus shots we can get back to something more normal. Later this morning I got on line and ordered a pizza from Pizza Hut to be picked up at 12:45 pm. Instead of marinara sauce I ordered BQ sauce. I through it was really good but Cheri didn’t like it. After watching a movie with Cheri I headed to the computer and worked on getting the new printer installed which took longer than I thought it would. When I got done with the computer work I fixed Cheri and me an English muffin with peanut butter for our supper. Cheri was watching a Hallmark movie and I headed to the bedroom to watch the Super bowl game. I was rooting for the Buccaneer’s and they pulled out a big win which made it fun to watch the game. Thank you God for being able to watch our church service and Sunday school class without leaving the house.

Much warmer this morning with a temp of 59 degrees. Turned out to be a nice day with a temp in the mid 70’s. I left the house at 9:30 am to change out two outside lights on a garage. I had a hard time getting the old ones off the wall. But things did go well. Then at 1:00 pm I went to put the new door handle and switches in the dishwasher I had looked at a few days ago. By the time I was done and home it was 1:45 pm. Cheri fixed us another hoagie roll with smoked pulled pork. After a shower and getting cleaned up I worked on the printer and finally gave up on getting it to work correctly. Cheri and I headed out Tampa to check out a new printer. With ink cartridges being so high I decided to get a laser printer. It was after 5:00 pm when we got home with a new printer which I will try to install tomorrow. Neither of us was hungry so we settled for a dish of ice cream. This evening we watched Blind Frog Ranch and Gold Rush before calling it a night.

Ten degrees warmer this morning at 39 degrees and warmed up to a beautiful day with the high temp near 80 degrees. I worked on getting my truck cleaned out and then loaded some scrap metal to take to the recycling, made $15.45. Cheri drove out of the park for the first time today going to the bank and grocery shopping. She brought home some smoked pulled pork to have in a hoagie roll for lunch and was very good. This afternoon I worked on scanning in drug receipts and getting them to the insurance company to get reimbursed. Well part way through my printer quit working. I had a spare printer that Pat and Roger gave us so I got it out and hooked it up but having some problems with it. I downloaded the manual and tried to download some new software but for some reason it didn’t want to take the new software. I had enough for the day and will work on it tomorrow. Cheri fixed me smoked ribs that she bought today to have for supper and they were very good. This evening we watched a couple of episodes of Dateline. Thank you God for a blessed day.

It’s cold!!! It was 29 degree this morning for my walk. We didn’t get out of the house until 12:30 pm but was nice with a temp of 62 degrees, sunny, and a light breeze. Today was laundry day and I got it started and Cheri finished it. Cheri fixed us a big breakfast of eggs, sausage, English muffin, juice, and coffee. We made a trip to Wal-Mart for a few things we needed. Then a stop at BK as we had a coupon for two junior Whoppers and two small fries to have for a late lunch at home. We spent the rest of the afternoon reading. This evening all we had was an English muffin with peanut butter because of the late lunch. Sure was nice to have another day off and did feel a little guilty but that didn’t last long. This evening we watched all the Chicago shows and For Life before calling it a night. Thank you God for guiding us through this day and keeping us safe from the virus. We are still waiting to get our shots here in our park, still nothing scheduled here in the park.

It was 36 degrees this morning when I walked. That was the only time I was out of the house today. With the kitchen project done I didn’t have to be anywhere for work today. So Cheri and I relaxed, a lot of reading, and some napping. I did do a little computer work this afternoon. We had soup for lunch was good on a cold day. Not doing anything today so when it came to supper time we weren’t very hungry so only had an English muffin with peanut butter and a cookie. Later in the evening while watching TV I did have a bag of popcorn. We watched the movie called “Let Him Go” starring Kevin Costner. It was an ok movie but not one of his better movies. We also watched Dateline. Thank you God for a relaxing day.

Hey! It is ground hog day, will he see his shadow or not. Well it is still winter and spring will come when it is time. It was another cold morning and the high for the day was 51 degrees and windy. My day started with the morning walk and then left the house at 6:30 am heading to Dade City for my Tuesday morning breakfast and Bible study with our accountability group. We finished Luke chapter 7 and started on chapter 8, good stuff. Cheri was busy with her Tuesday housework and her normal every day exercises. I finished the kitchen project and was done by noon. I will have to go back after they get the counter tops installed to do the back splash but I am sure it will be a while before that happens. While I was loading the tools in my truck I got a call from a party here in the park that said that the handle on their dishwasher broke and wanted to know if I could fix it. So before I went home for lunch I stopped by to check it out. I took the door apart and found that it couldn’t be repaired. So after lunch I got on the internet and found a new handle which I ordered. This afternoon Cheri was busy making chicken and dumplings to have for supper this evening. Then we relaxed reading and napping later this afternoon. The dumplings were excellent and had to have a second dish of them. Later we had strawberry short cake while watching TV. We watched some episodes of Cold Case and Expedition Unknown. Thank you God for a blessed day.

It was 66 degrees when I got up this morning. It was 64 degrees when I left the house for my morning walk and when I got home it was down to 62 degrees. Plus we had a very windy day. 66 degrees was the high for the day and by 4:00 pm it was down to 54 degrees. Cheri continues to improve some every day. She is still doing her exercises and walking. I worked on the kitchen project today and thought I would finish but the flooring took a lot longer than I thought it would. So I still have one more day working on the project. It was 4:00 pm when I got done for the day. Cheri fixed us leftover spaghetti for supper along with an English muffin and a cookie for dessert. I did have a bag of popcorn later while watching TV. We got a call from Nikki this evening and had good visit with her.  Thank you God for helping us through this day.

postheadericon Gay Jan-31-21

 

Hard to believe this is the last day of January, it went by pretty fast for me. The temp today was the same as yesterday, mid 70’s for the high. It was normal Sunday taking our time to get around in the morning as nothing going on until we stream the church service at 10:00 am. After the church service we headed out to Dade City to attend our Sunday school class. The lesson today was titled “Followed” from Luke 5:4-11, 27-32. Jesus uses ordinary people with diverse backgrounds in his work. Earlier this morning I placed and order with Pizza Hut for a pizza to be picked up at 1:15 pm. It has been many years since we have order one on line. It was good for a change as I am getting tired of the frozen pizzas. We tried to watch a movie but I couldn’t stay awake so after a short nap I headed to the computer to upload some meds to get reimbursed for. After that went back to watching TV, still having trouble staying awake. This evening we didn’t have any supper because of all the pizza but did have another bowl of strawberry short cake. We have been disappointed with this batch of strawberries, just not as good as what we are used to. I also tried to do some reading this evening but that didn’t work either. Thank you God for a blessed day spending time with you and friends.
