After a fun day yesterday
it was time to get back to work today. After Cheri got the laundry and
vacuuming done she worked on reorganizing all of our files. It is a big job and
will take her a few days to get it done. Which led me to build the pull out
tray in the office area for the file box. It took me most of the day and
changed the way I was going to build it several times using the materials that
I had on hand. I had it done by 3:00 pm and the next step will be to remove it
from the cabinet and paint it which I will do after I get the next two cabinets
that I need to build for the kitchen. Cheri and I rested for a couple of hours
before we got ready to go the church senior Christmas party in Dade City.
Grandma also went with us. We had a very good meal of chicken and barbeque beef
with potatoes, green beans, and salad. I was around 8:30 pm when we got home.
Last night I was watching the Green Bay Packers playing the Detroit Lions and
the Packers were behind 20 to nothing and it was midway through the third quarter
and I gave up on them and went to bed. Boy was I surprised when I got up this
morning and found out that they had won. So this evening we watched the rest of
the game which I had recorded. It just goes to show that we should never give
up in life as there is always a way to get things done. Of course you have to
have Gods help to do it.

Today was a play day and
no work. I lead a motorcycle ride with three other bikes. It was the same group
that I rode with last year. Because of health problems this was the first time
we could get together for a ride. It sure was good to get back in the saddle
again. The weather didn’t look very good when we left as rain had been forcasted
but more to the south so we headed north to Leesburg by way of all the back
roads. I even found a couple that we hadn’t been on before. We had sunshine
when we got to Leesburg but on the way home we were soon back in weather that
looked like rain but got the trip in without rain. We rode 130 miles and got
home around 4:30 pm. Cheri and Denise went shopping all day and arrived home
about two minutes after Larry and me. Cheri and Denise had fun and both had
packages from their day of shopping. We have been seriously thinking about
switching our cable from Direct TV to Bright House. So I went up to Mike and
Pam’s this evening to see how much different there was between the two. We have
had Direct TV for over ten years but need to find a way to save some money. So
Cheri and I have to make a decision on what to do.

It was another no work day
as Mike and Mary are coming for the day to visit. So we were in no hurry
getting around this morning. I did do some work earlier on designing a built in
file cabinet to the desk area. I probably would have done more but needed to
use the saw and didn’t want to get all covered with sawdust before Mike and
Mary got here. Just before they arrived Larry and Denise stopped by want us to
go to Ikea and Sam’s club with them. We had to take a rain check on that trip.
Just as they were leaving Mike and Mary arrived. We had a good visit and then
went out for lunch and then back to our place for more visiting. They have been
trying to sell their house and are on the third person now as the other two weren’t
able to get financing. Mike and Mary have a house bought up in South Carolina
if theirs sells. We will miss seeing them after they move. They left around
3:30 pm. I took the car to have it washed and they have raised the price to
four dollars which is still a good deal. I also took the motorcycle and filled
it with gas so it is ready for tomorrows ride. Cheri made dumping’s with the
leftover turkey for supper (really good) plus one more meal.

Well another month gone
and not sure where it went. Seem like the days and months go by faster as we
age. I had a 9:30 am appointment in Wesley Chapel for the car as we had a
recall to have the transmission reprogramed. Cheri went along and I dropped her
off so she could shop. I just got out of
the car at the dealership when I turned around and there was Ron with Sandy’s
van to have a four wheel alignment. It made the time go by fast as Ron and I had
a good visit while our vehicles were being repaired. Neither of us knew we were
going to be there and both had the same appointment time. Our car was done a
while before Ron and Sandy’s so I stayed and visited with Ron until his was
done. It also gave Cheri more time to shop. After Ron was done I headed over to
the shopping center and picked up Cheri. We were only a couple of blocks away
from the place where Cheri got her glasses. So we stopped to see if maybe the
new ones came in. The lady checked and they just arrived. So she got fitted
with the new ones and found that there was a scratch on one of the lens so she
was going to order a new lens for them. Our next stop was Wal-Mart in Wesley
Chapel, we like this one better because it is bigger than and not as busy as
Zephyrhills. We had a late lunch when we got home and then Cheri continued to
work in the kitchen getting things put away in the cabinets. I readjusted a
shelf in the pantry cabinet, had to drill additional holes for the shelf. I
also did some measuring to build a pull out shelf in the office area for a file
box. Then made a trip to Lowe’s for paint to use on the cabinet pull out. So
all in all it was a productive day for Cheri and me.

It was a morning that we
didn’t have to be anywhere so we took our time getting around. Cheri worked on
moving things into the new cabinets and then changing which cabinet she want
things in. She had me helping with some of the stuff and putting shelves in
some of the cabinets. I finally went outside and got the Christmas lights out
and started putting them up when we got a call from Ron and Sandy. They were in
town so they stopped over to see our new cabinets and countertops. Just before
they left Larry and Denise came to see the new counter tops. Larry and I headed
over to Lowe’s as I needed a sheet of plywood to build a couple of cabinets. So
Larry hauled it home for me. Cheri fixed the four of us turkey and ham
sandwiches for lunch and then the four of us headed down to Tampa to get the
back splash tiles. We got back around 4:00 pm and was too late to do anything
so we played a game of Hand, Knee, and Foot which Cheri and Denise won. Larry
and I are still trying to win our first game. After Larry and Denise left Cheri
fixed us pizza for supper and then we settled in for an evening of TV.
