I
was up before 4:00 am still having a hard time sleeping. Shortly after Cheri
left for her pool exercise I went out and moved things out and back to the
front of the carport so I could clean the floor. After starting I decided that I
should clean the siding and ceiling, bigger job than I first planed on doing. I
quit at 10:30 am so I could take Grandma for her B-12 shot which didn’t take too
long. After dropping off Grandma I stopped by Bud and Joyce’s to pick up our
lawn mower and visited with them. I see John coming down the street so I stopped
him and told him I have a motorcycle ride planned for Wednesday; he was excited
and ready to start our weekly rides. I stopped by Butche’s to welcome him back
from the north and tell him about the Wednesday ride. He just got in yesterday
and had bought a new place in Baker Acers. He has a lot of cleaning to do and
said that if he wasn’t at the starting point for the ride not to wait for him.
It was late by the time I got home and Cheri waited to have lunch with me.
Cheri had hung some more pictures and was busy putting things away in the
sewing room that she had unpacked. She had just finished vacuuming and washing
all the floors. After lunch I went back out and put things back in the carport
and moved the bike barn closer to the front of the carport so it hide the many
things I have stacked outside. I don’t have room for them in the shed until I
get the shelving built and put in. Before I put the motorcycle in the barn I took
it for a ride to fill up with gas and have it ready for the Wednesday ride. It was
my first ride with the new mufflers and I like the sound of them. I hung up
Cheri’s big cross cut saw in the sewing room for her and then I sat down with
the clock and after some work I got it to clime right with the time. It took me
a while to figure it out. When I change the time it for standard time I just
backed it up an hour. After reading the instructions it says that is a no no
but I did finally get it back in sink. We watched Dancing with the Stars and
Cheri said the wrong person got voted off and I had to agree with her. I
recorded the Packer game so we could watch Dancing with the Stars. So after
that was over I settled in to watch the Packers play, not a good game for the
packers as they lost.

The
extra hours sleep didn’t help as I was up early; probably will take a few days
to get into sleeping an hour later. Grandma went to church with us and Pastor Dean
had another interesting message. We didn’t get a chance to talk to anyone after
church as everyone left right away. So it was just Grandma, Cheri and me. We
went to Next Door in Zephyrhills for lunch. After we dropped off Grandma we
stopped and visited with Norm and Marlene as they were sitting outside. When we
got home I changed clothes and sat down in the recliner, covered up with a
blanket and that is where I stayed the rest of the day. I tried to watch some
TV but slept most of the afternoon. Cheri continued working out in the sun room
sorting through books and trying to find a place to put them. When I changed the time on the clock last
night I must have done something wrong as the hour chime is off by four hours,
something to check out tomorrow.

I
got up to a rainy morning, it rained all morning and part of the afternoon, I
checked the rain gage and we got a 1 ¼ inches of rain for the day. When Cheri
came out this morning she asked me if I wanted to go out for breakfast, I had
thought about it before she got up. We headed to Golden Corral as they have the
best breakfast with so many different choices. Then we headed to Lakeland and I
dropped Cheri off at Beall’s which is right next to Joan Fabrics to shop. I
headed to the Harley dealer for the performance work shop I signed up for last
week. The plan had been to ride the motorcycle but the rain put a stop to that.
When I got back to Joan Fabrics I called Cheri and she said that she just got
done shopping, great timing. When we got home Cheri had a lot of pictures for
me put up that had been in storage, later while I was out in the shed I could
hear some hammering coming from the house, when I got back inside Cheri had
already made a change to some of the pictures. My neighbor called and asked me
if I would come over to help him install some wind deflectors on his
motorcycle. He had to move the signal lights to make them fit and wanted some
help with the project. He had wanted to do it without cutting the wires but
that wasn’t possible. I went back to my place and got him some heat shrink and
my heat gun for him to use. We had brats for supper and Cheri did them in the
oven under the broiler and you would have thought they were done on the grill. We
are looking forward to the extra hour of sleep tonight.

Today
was a fun filled relaxing day. We went on a road trip with Norm & Marlene,
Mike & Mary to Brooksville for a quilt show. It was held at the Quarry Golf
Course. Mike and Norm waited in the van while I went into the show with the
ladies. We got to see a lot of nice quilts and many that I know Cheri could
have done a better job making them. We got to see some interesting products
that would make cutting material much easier. They gave us a nice demonstration
on how everything worked. I was very interested until I found out the price was
only $5200. After the show we stopped at Mallie Kyla’s restaurant for lunch. I
found it on the internet and it is rated number 3 out of 99 in Brookville. It
has 2 or 3 rooms of things that are for sale and the food was really good. We
did have to wait a few minutes before we got seated but it was worth the wait.
After finding them on the internet I see that they also have restaurant in Dade
City. I haven’t been there but Cheri said she has and it was very good. We took
the scenic route home and were home around 2:30 pm. I had an e-mail from
Grandma telling me she couldn’t find anyone to take her for her B-12 shot on Monday.
So I called and change the appointment to have the van fixed so I can take her
for her appointment. She also said that her phone wasn’t working so we went
over to see her and I fixed the phone so it works now and she told me that
there was a vine growing across the back door, so I went out and removed it. We
took her trash up to the dumpster and then stopped to see Betty as she arrived
from the north on Sunday. We just got there when Rick and Janis showed up, so
we got to have a nice visit with them also. Mike and I had security watch in
the park this evening, nothing exciting happened.

I
hope everyone had a Happy Halloween. The ghost and goblins stayed away from
Cheri and me today. God blessed us with many things today. I took the van in to
be checked out as it has an oil leak. I was sure it would cost around $500 to
get it fixed. Well it turns out that it is going to cost around $200 to fix it
and I have an appointment to have it repaired on Monday (a blessing). I had
checked the oil in the van this morning and the end of the dip stick broke off.
On the way home from the repair shop I stopped at the salvage yard and they had
a replacement for $10 (a blessing). Cheri continued to work in the sunroom and
unpacked the old telephones and many other things, also many more loads of
laundry from things that have been stored. Cheri has set out pictures that I
need to hang. This afternoon a guy came to check out the cargo trailer and
bought it (a blessing). I got the dining room light moved and now hangs in the
middle of the table, Cheri is very happy (a blessing for me). It was a beautiful day in the
neighbor hood (a blessing). So as you can see God blessed us many time over
today.
