After Cheri got her Wednesday
house work done she disappeared in her sewing room to spend the day working on
the Taggie blanked for Wyatt. I worked outside on the rocking motorcycle. I got
several more pieces cut out and still have a long way to go. Cheri fixed bake potatoes
for supper and I grilled a couple sirloin steaks. They were very good and much
better than the steaks we had at the restaurant last week and for a lot less
money. This evening we were up to Mike and Pam’s for Bible study. We are using
Dr. Larry Ollison’s book “Unlocking the Mysteries of the Holy Spirit”. We are
now studying the Nine Gifts of the Spirit. After the Bible study we played a
game of Phase Ten which Pam won. Thank you Pam and Mike for a wonderful evening
learning Gods word.

Larry and Denise picked us
up at 10:00 am and headed for the flea market. We checked on the strawberries
and bought a half flat to split with Larry and Denise. The main reason I wanted
to go was to get my knife sharped but the guy that does it wasn’t there today.
I also bought a few Philips head bits for my impact driver. I think it was
around 11:30 pm when we got home. After Larry and Denise left Cheri and I made
a trip to the bank and to Publix’s for groceries. While Cheri was getting the
groceries I walked over to Staples to get some graft paper. I wanted to draw up
the wall design for that I will be building for Darren and Brooke. We had a
late lunch when we got home. Cheri said that she wasn’t in the mood for any
work in the sewing room so she took it easy the rest of the day. I did get the
wall design drawn up. By the time I got that done it was too late to do
anything else which was ok as I was ready to join Cheri in the recliner. We
watched a movie but in my case it was only half a movie because I fell asleep.
We had leftover barbeque bean soup and fresh strawberry shortcake for supper.
It has been a long time since we have had strawberry shortcake, sure was good.
Late this afternoon we had a rain shower and again during the night and I checked
and received just over half an inch. It is so dry here and everything has
turned brown. I remember it being so dry like it has been this fall and winter.

One thing I failed to mention
Yesterday was on the way to Church the tire waring alarm came on again. So the
saga with Tire Kingdom continues. I headed out this morning to get the tire
repaired again. This is the second time that this has happened to a tire on the
car. The manager told me that a tire patch not sealing was a very rare thing.
He didn’t know what to say when I told him that it happened with another tire I
got repaired there. Cheri was busy this morning making a big crock pot of barbeque
bean soup with some of the leftover ham from Christmas. So we had a wonderful
aroma of that throughout the house today. After getting the soup started Cheri
headed to the sewing room where she has started a new project making a Taggie Blanket
for baby Wyatt. I worked outside on the rocking motorcycle. I got two of the
main parts cutout and still have one more of them but need a sheet of ¾ inch birch
plywood. I also got a couple of the pieces for the gas tank done. It is a slow
process learning how to use the router. It is fun to see the results of what I
have done, plus I am enjoying the project. We had some of the bean soup for
supper which was very good. This evening Larry and Denise came over to play
cards. We played two game of Hand, Knee, and Foot and everyone was a winner.

Happy New Year to everyone
and may you all have a blessed year. I couldn’t think of a better way to start
the New Year than going to church and Sunday school to be in God’s house to
spend time with him. Grandma also went with us. After we got home from church
we changed our clothes and then headed to Lakeland. Cheri wanted to go to Jo-Ann
fabrics and I wanted to go to Harbor Freight and Lowe’s. I also fill the car
with gas which is now $2.39 per gallon. Gas has gone up 45 cents in the last
month and a half. When I went to pick up Cheri she was the next person in the
checkout line, good timing. Cheri got the material she wanted and I got a drill
press at 25 percent off, so we both came home happy. It was time for pizza when
we got home, it has been a while since we have had pizza at home. We watched
and napped through a couple more Christmas movies. With Christmas gone by we
must be getting a head start on Christmas movies for the coming Christmas. The cold
spell is over and the warm weather is back.

Cheri and I were both up
very early this morning not being able to sleep (too many aches and pains).It
is hard to believe this is the last day of 2016. For the most part this year
was better than last year, which is good. Cheri asked me what I was going to do
today and I told her I wasn’t doing any more work for the rest of the year and
she said me either. Darren and Brooke got us an Amazon Echo for Christmas and
it arrived last night. So I spent most of the day getting it set up to link up
to our phones on the calendar and shopping list. Probably was something that a
fifth grader could do in a half hour. We are now having fun asking Alexa (the
Amazon Echo’s name) different things like playing music, adding stuff to our
grocery list, and even telling us a joke. I also got the new outdoor temp
transmitter programed to the indoor unit and worked fine on the kitchen table
but not working after I took it outside. I will check it out next year. Later
this afternoon we watch more movies we had recorded. We spent a quiet New Year’s
Eve at home and were in bed by 10:00 am. I did wake up at 11:58 pm to all the fireworks
so I guess you could say I was awake for the New Year.
