Cheri got up in the night because I was snoring very load and couldn’t sleep. She went out and put on a coat of paint in the office area and then came back to bed. So she is very tired today. She put on the last coat of paint this morning so I could start doing the electrical work. I also patched some holes in the office area. I also cut in some electrical boxes on the sink side of the kitchen for more electrical outlets. I was busy all day but really can't see where I did anything. I was at a good stopping point around 3:00 pm and didn’t feel like hanging any cabinets today. So Cheri and I relaxed and watched some TV. After supper we went over to Larry and Denise’s to play Hand, Knee, and Foot. We played two games which Cheri and Denise won.

We didn’t get very much work done today. I had a follow up doctor’s appointment at the VA this morning and had to wait over an hour to get in. I had a good follow up report from the doctor. On the way home we stopped at the Re-Store to see if they wanted any of the old kitchen cabinets we removed. They gave me a telephone number to call and they will come and pick them up. We made one more stop at the hair solon so Cheri could see about getting an appointment to have her hair done. She came out and said that she could get in right away so I headed home and she is going to call when she is done. It was already 1:00 pm when I got home. So I worked on getting things ready for Cheri to paint in the office area and another coat of plaster on the wall. I just got done and Cheri called and was ready for me to pick her up, good timing. When we got home Cheri went right to work on painting and I worked on the base cabinets. I was done at 4:30 pm and Cheri was done at 5:00 pm. We rested a while before Cheri fixed supper.

It was another busy day in the kitchen. I had some dry wall work to do where I had taken out some of the old cabinets and damaged the wall. Also did some electrical work as it would be easier to do before putting in the base cabinet. Larry and Denise came over early afternoon to see our kitchen project and then Larry help me remove the old cabinets from the office area. Cheri and Denise went shopping in Dade City while Larry and I were removing the old cabinets. We were done by 3:30 pm and Cheri and Denise were back so we sat and visited for a while. After they left I finished cleaning up so Cheri could fix supper. We had some of the ribs that we got at Sam’s yesterday. I still think they are best ribs. This evening was Dancing with the Stars and I couldn’t stay awake, kept falling asleep so headed to bed. I don’t know who got voted off. 

the end is near

It was nice to have the extra hours sleep last night but the truth be known I would much rather stay on daylight time. Grandma went to church with us today. Pastor Randy message was Do You Really Believe? From Romans 10:8-13. It was a very good message. Our Sunday school lesson was Waiting for the Promise from Genesis 15:1-7, 13-16. Charlie did and excellent job of presenting it. After Sunday school we along with Mel and Jan went to Doc’s for lunch which was good and got a chance to visit. We got a call from Larry and Denise and they arrived around 9:30 pm last night and wanted to know if we wanted to go to Sam’s this afternoon. So we headed home and changed our clothes and went over to their place. Larry and Denise got a new truck just before they came down. We had a nice visit before heading to Sam’s. We really didn’t need anything but managed to spend over 100 dollars. We also got some of Sam’s great pork ribs. Larry and Denise asked us to stay for supper but we had things that need to be refrigerated and I was tired so we headed home. Cheri fixed us a pizza for supper and I settled in to watch the NASCAR race that I had recorded and was happy to see Jeff Gordon win the race. I also watch some of the Green Bay Packer game with Denver Broncos. Green Bay was behind and I was really tired to I headed to bed. Cheri went an hour before me.

Happy Halloween to everyone, hope your day was better than mine. I started the day by going to Lowe’s to get the plumbing materials I needed to get the water and drain hooked up in the new sink cabinet. I also bought some stain that I thought might match the cabinets. I had to cut a piece to make the dishwasher fit in order to have the sink cabinet centered under the window. Cheri stained it with the new stain I got and it was almost a perfect match. Getting the water lines extended turned out to be a test of my patients. The water lines where short and had trouble getting the extension couplings on. I ended up with a leak but I finally did get it fixed. I set a piece of the old counter top that had the sink in it on the new cabinet and connected the water and drain to it. I also ended up with a leak or I should say a drip. This is all temporary until we get the new counter tops so I put a pail under it for now. I went to plug the garbage disposal in and realized I forgot to cut an opening in the back of the cabinet for it, something to figure out another day. I also had trouble getting the dishwasher connected. It was 6:00 pm and I was tired and had enough for the day. Cheri helped me by cleaning up some of the mess I made. I am not sure what all Cheri did today but I know she was busy.
