Cheri was busy with Friday
house work and laundry. She also made a trip to the bank and grocery store for
a few things to make a new casserole (John Wayne Casserole) for dinner. I was
back working in Tampa Bay Golf and Country Club. This being Friday it was
breakfast with my accountability group, no Bible as our study leader Charlie
couldn’t make it. My project today was to remove two sinks from the vanity and
then remove the vanity top along with the backslash. Then I add four inches to
the top of the vanity. After the new granite top is installed I will go back
and install the sinks. It was a great day and things went really well. When you
communicate with God on your projects things always go better. I talk to him
every morning and we discuss with his help what we are going to do for the day.
He never gives me more than I can handle. I was back home by 4:00 pm, nice to
be done a little earlier. The John Wayne casserole was very good. We settled in
for an evening of TV along with an ice cream bar for Cheri and popcorn for me.
Thank you God for another great day.

Cheri and Denise spent the
day shopping making a trip to Old Time Pottery and I am sure there were many
more places they shopped. I left the house at 8:30 am and made a quick stop at
Lowe’s as I needed some materials for today’s project. I removed all the
baseboard from the kitchen which turned out to be a big job. Someone had
installed a tile floor over the existing linoleum without removing the
baseboard. I installed some bead board, added door molding around the laundry
door, installed a chair rail over the bead board, and installed new baseboard.
It was 4:30 pm when I got done. I called Cheri and told her I was on my way
home so she could have dinner ready. After dinner I made a trip to Harbor
Freight and then to Lowe’s picking up materials for the project I will be
working on tomorrow. By the time I was done and had my hot shower it was near
8:00 pm. We watched a couple of shows we had recorded and called it a night.

It was back to work today.
I worked over in Tampa Bay Country Golf. My project today was installing four
rollout trays in an island cabinet, remove a wire shelf in the laundry room,
install a 42in x 42in cabinet in the laundry room, hang a full length mirror in
the bedroom, and repair a patio door lock. It was 4:30 pm when I got done with
that job. I also made another stop to check out another job to install a new ceiling
fan remote and install a garage door key pad. Well when I checked the ceiling fan
remote it turned out to be just a battery change. So while I was there I
decided to install the key pad which wouldn’t take very long. Well that what I
thought but that is when things will go wrong. The key pad had to be mounted on
a concrete wall which took a little longer then I thought it would. Ok how long
can it take to program a key pad? I most have programed it 20 different times
with no luck. I tried many different things and still no luck. So after an hour
and a half I gave up and told them that they needed to get different key pad.
Long story short it was almost 7:00 pm when I got home. Needed less to say
Cheri had dinner ready for us at 5:00 pm. I also got a call from a lady telling
me that Grandma’s telephone and computer wasn’t working. So we made a trip over
to her place. It turned out that the modem was unplugged. After getting it
plugged in and back on line everything is working again. When I got home I was
ready for the hot shower to relax the muscles which felt good. Cheri was also
busy today. She made a trip to the bank and Wal-Mart for some things we needed.
She also spent time in the sewing room working on a quilt project that she
started some time ago. Thank you God for another wonderful day you gave us.

We had to get around early
this morning as I had an 8:30 am appointment in Tampa and left the house at
7:15 am. We were back home by 11:30 am. After lunch I spent time sorting
through my tools and getting the truck loaded for a project I have tomorrow. Then
I went and finished the caulking of the shower surround I had been working on.
So now that project is done. Cheri had most of her Tuesday work done yesterday
so she spent time visiting Jean next door. I thinks she also spent some time in
her sewing room. When I got home I did some paper and computer work getting
this week’s projects lined up. Cheri and I spent what was left of the afternoon
in our recliners napping and watching TV, can’t seem to get though an evening
without a nap before going to bed. On another note I have been seriously
thinking about ending my daily blog. I have been doing it for thirteen years
and really don’t have anything very interesting to write about. The blog was
started so our children and friends could follow our adventures as we traveled
this great county after we retired. So I guess I would like to have you send me
an e-mail with blog in the subject line to let me know how you feel about it. I
do want to thank everyone who has taken the time to read about our adventures. Our
e-mail address is sharps@sharpstravels.com

Not much going on today.
Cheri was busy doing her Monday and Tuesday house work. I put some letters up
on the wall for Cheri that spell out home with a sunflower for the o in home,
looks nice. We had company from Ohio today. They arrived around 11:00 am. We
spent the rest of the forenoon catching up on what they have been doing for the
last year. Around 1:00 pm we headed over to Sunrise Eatery for lunch and then
to Ollies to look around. Ron and I also made a visit to Harbor Freight. Then
it was back home for more visiting. At 5:00 pm it was time to say our goodbyes
to Ron and Mary Jo as they were on their way to Sun City for the evening. Cheri
fixed us a grilled ham and cheese sandwich along with chips and cookies for dinner,
not all that hungry because of the big lunch we had. It was an evening of TV
and nap before bedtime. Thank you God for letting us spend time with friends
today.
