We had a wonderful spring day with very little humidity and a temp in the high 70’s. I took Cheri for her appointment this morning and I waited in the car doing my Bible study along with the next Sunday school lesson. On the way home we stopped by Larry and Denise’s and Larry was just getting the motorcycle out and was coming over to our place. So Larry follow us home and we went right to work on putting down the floor leveling compound. It didn’t take very long to do it but I am not sure how well it is going to work. I will know more tomorrow after it sets. I can see I will have to do some sanding to feather out the edges. After Larry left I took the motorcycle and filled it up with gas to be ready for our ride tomorrow. I also stopped at the grocery store for Cheri as she is making a cranberry salad for Ladies Night Out tomorrow evening. I removed the dishwasher so we can do the flooring where it sits. Cheri was busy with her ironing and making salad. She did find some time to spend in her sewing room. We had homemade chicken soup for supper that was left over from yesterday. We settled in to watch Dancing with the Stars. Once again Cheri made the right pick on who was going to get voted off.

It was a cool morning, almost jacket weather. Grandma went to church with us this morning. Pastor Randy had an excellent message from Romans 14. Titled: When you don’t agree. He brought out many good points that I would never have under stood just from reading it. After we dropped Grandma off at home we went to see how Mel and Jan where doing. Mel is having a very hard time with all the pain in his back. After we left Mel and Jan’s we made a stop at Wal-Mart to pick up a few things. It was near 4:00 pm when we finally got home. I headed to the recliner to watch the NASCAR race that I had recorded. Cheri sat down with the Sunday paper that she didn’t get read this morning. Cheri fixed us Pizza for an early supper as we didn’t have any lunch today. The rest of the evening was spent watching TV.

It was a gloomy morning as we had rain coming which arrived around 10:00 am and continued until midafternoon. We received a little over half an inch. Cheri worked all day in her sewing room and now as another quilt sewed together and it is ready for her to quilt but has decided to put it on hold for now and go back to work on the rug she is making. I spent my time in the kitchen deciding on how I was going to level the floor and decided to use the self-leveling compound. I had to patch all the screw hole that was left in the subfloor from the old under lament. The rain had let up so I headed to Lowe’s to get the primer and leveling compound. Wouldn’t you know it was raining really hard when I got ready to leave Lowe’s? When I got home we had a late lunch and Cheri was making chicken noodle soup in the crock pot to have for supper. I put the primer on the floor and it is now ready for the self-leveling compound. My day was done around 2:30 pm. I settled in the recliner and watched the NASCAR truck race.

Cheri and I pulled the plug today as we traded our house for a forty foot class A diesel pusher   motorhome and plan on going back to full time RVing. Our first trip is going back to Alaska. Well it is April fool’s Day. Cheri did her Friday house work and then spent the rest of the day in her sewing room working on the quilts she and Denise are making. I took Grandma for two appointments this morning so it only left this afternoon to get any work done. I did get the rest of the old flooring removed from the kitchen. Larry and Denise stopped by as they had been out for a motorcycle ride and Denise said it was too hot to ride. Larry helped me finish removing the flooring. By the time I got everything cleaned up with Cheri’s help it was 4:00 pm. I was ready for a nice hot shower and later for a nap in the recliner. After supper we settled in for an evening of TV.

Hey I did write the blog but forgot to upload it.

We had a more relaxing day and didn’t feel rush to get anything done. Cheri finally got her sewing room reorganized and is ready to get back to quilting. She had me hang a few pictures. I went and got a haircut this forenoon, something I should have done a week or so ago. I also worked in the shop and got the router attached to the new router table so I am now ready to try it out to see how it works. We got a call from Jim and Jennet Frye letting us know that they were going to be late getting to our place because they were in stop and go traffic. Jennet’s parents and my parents were good friends when we were very young and have kept in contact for over 70 years. I went and picked up Grandma and brought her over to our place so she could see our cabinets and new flooring. Jim and Jennet arrive at 3:00 pm and visited until 5:30 pm and then we all went to Golden Corral for dinner. Then it was back to our place for more visiting. Jim and Jennet stayed until 9:30 pm. They only had to travel as far as Wesley Chapel where they had their motor home in a campground. I took Grandma home and she said she enjoyed the afternoon and evening.
