We picked up Grandma at
8:45 am and head to church. Pastor Randy had an excellent message From Romans
8:26-28 on How to have a Better Prayer Life. Sunday school was also very good
as Jack was still filling in for Charlie and did and excellent job with our
lesson. After Sunday school we along with Mel and Jan headed to the Village Inn
for lunch again this Sunday as it was very good last Sunday. We were able to
get a table in the corner so we could visit while having lunch. After lunch we
dropped Grandma off at home and we headed to Wal-Mart here in Zephyrhills to
see about paint for the kitchen and found that their paint computer was still
down so we headed Dade City Wal-Mart and the paint computer could not mix the
paint color Cheri had because it was an older paint computer. So there you have
it three Wal-Marts that sell the paint we want and can’t get it, good thing we
don’t need it right away. We also stopped at Big Lots as they had a 20 percent
off on everything in the store today. The only thing we found that we needed
was some bird seed for our bird feeders. After all was said and done it was
almost 4:00 pm when we got home. Cheri settled in with her I-pad to do whatever
it is she does. And I settled in to watch the NASCAR race and then the Packer
football game all of which I had recorded. So it was petty late when I got done
watching my sports and we did watch a couple other shows we had recorded before
calling it a night.

Cheri spent the whole day
cleaning out kitchen cabinets. She had a big job packing up everything from one
side of the kitchen which is where I am going to start the remodel. I set up
some shelving in her sewing room to put the things we will need right away. She
also packed up a lot of tubs with things that she can get along without for a
while. I worked on the power washer again this morning with no luck so I
ordered a new carburetor for it and hope that will take care of the problem. After
Cheri got done cleaning out the kitchen cabinets we took a rest and I watched
the Wisconsin Badger football game which they lost and should have won. They made
too many critical mistakes. After supper I started to remove cabinets. I got a
couple of them out and ready to take outside tomorrow. So all in all it was a
good day for us.

Cheri was busy with laundry
and her Friday house work. I headed outside to work on the power washer. It isn’t
running the way it is suppose to. So I took the carburetor apart and gave it a
good cleaning. When I went to reinstall the carburetor I could see that it didn’t
fit tight to the intake on the engine. I think it has been leaking air around
the intake and is the reason it hasn’t been running right. So I need to get
some gasket material to correct the problem. Around 1:00 pm Cheri got a call
that her glasses were in so we headed to Wesley chapel to pick them up. Cheri
was really disappointed as she still has double vision with them on. We are
praying that after she wears them for a few days the double vision will disappear.
We also made a stop at Wal-Mart to pick up a gallon of the paint for the
kitchen. She only bought a quart before to see if it was the color she wanted. She
had put some on the wall and like it so now she needs a gallon of it. Well
wouldn’t you know they were out of the tint base she needed. We made one last
stop at Auto Zone so I could get the gasket material for the power washer. On
the way over to Wesley Chapel we stopped to check on Larry and Denise’s house
and everything looked good. Cheri was very quiet this evening; I can tell she
is very depressed about her eyes. So I am asking all of you to pray for her
eyes to be corrected by the new glasses.

It is hard to believe September is gone
already, although when I think back some things went very slow and other things
very fast. I can tell fall is here as the days are getting shorter, still dark
at 7:00 am when just a short time ago it the sun was shining at 7:00 am. I
worked on cabinet assembly this morning and Cheri did all of her Thursday house
work and laundry. I finished the cabinets just before noon. We got a call from
the granite place and said that the other granite slabs came in so this
afternoon we made a trip to Lakeland to look at them. We really liked the ones
that just came in and they are the ones we picked. In fact we like them better
than the ones we had picked out a couple of months ago. We also made a stop at
Home Depot in Lakeland and found the repair mixture for our popcorn ceiling. We
made one last stop at Wawa for a chocolate milk shake. Tonight was our Life
Group Gathering. Our group was smaller but still had enough for a good
discussion. We really enjoy Life Group talking and learning more about God.

Neither Cheri nor I had a
good night’s sleep; we both did a lot of crazy dreaming that makes no sense. So
we are both kind of bummed out today. Cheri did her Wednesday house work and
then worked on making her Halloween wreath. I took Grandma for her doctor’s
appointment this morning and got home around 11:30 am. I went right to work on
assembling kitchen cabinets. I got four more of them done and still have four
more to do and then the assembly will be done. Cheri and I left at 4:00 pm and
headed to Wesley Chapel. On the way home yesterday from getting the service
done on the car the check tire pressure light came on and figured it was from
them rotating the tires. So went back to have it corrected. They said that when
they do the tire pressure reset it doesn’t always take and that was what
happened to us. To be sure they checked the tire pressure and did the reset
again. Then we went to Wal-Mart to get a quart of paint for the kitchen. Cheri
thinks she knows what color she wants but to be sure we got just a quart so she
can try it and see if that is what she wants. While she was getting that done I
was looking at lights that were right by the paint department and found some
strip lights that I think will work for the under cabinet lighting in the
kitchen so I bought some to check them out. We made a stop at Sam’s Club to
fill the car with gas and were surprised that the price was no better than some
of the stations. Then we met Ron, Sandy, Mike, and Pam at 100 Montaditos for
supper. It is a sandwich place that advertises 100 different small sized sandwiches
and today they are on special for a dollar each. The food was good but the
acoustics were so bad I couldn’t hear what was being said. Mike and Pam had
bought a new twin size folding bed so we followed them home and I helped Mike
get it unloaded and into the house. We visited for a while and Pam treated us
to a piece of butter mike pie which was excellent. So it was a good day of
getting a few things done.
