I hope everyone had good holiday. Cheri and I stayed home. I worked outside on building the attic door I will be installing Saturday. It was very hot so I took a break from the door to go over to the neighbors and finish the popcorn ceiling project and work on the transition strip. I was able to run it through the saw and cut off the broken part and still had enough to reinstall it. Then it was back to work on the attic door. Around 3:00 pm it started to rain so that was the end of my work day which was OK as I was ready to quit. I was tired, hot, sweaty, and ready for a shower. Cheri spent most of the day looking through patterns and material planning her next sewing project. For supper Cheri fixed the last of the roast beef on toast with gravy. The evening was spent reading, watching TV, and snacking. I didn’t check the rain gauge but would guess we got about a ¼ inch. Thank you God for helping us through another day with your blessings.

It was another very hot day. I worked outside for a while restocking tool and material tubs for the truck. I spray painted the neighbors air conditioner return vent. I went to Lowe’s to get the popcorn spray to repair her bathroom ceiling. I also got some stain to see if I could fix the wood floor. I did get the popcorn ceiling repaired and will have to go back tomorrow to reinstall the air vent and exhaust fan. The stain for the floor didn’t work and she has decided to wait on the floor. The transition strip between the hallway and kitchen was broke so I went back to Lowe’s to see about a new one but didn’t have any the right color. So I will talk to her tomorrow to see what she wants to do. Cheri was busy with her Tuesday housework. I was done early this afternoon. After a hot shower I headed to the recliner for TV and a nap along with Cheri reading and napping. Later this evening we went out to the new Wawa to get chocolate shake’s that are on sale for the grand opening. We also got another ¼ inch of rain. Thank you God for what you do for us.

This morning I installed a new attic fan at the place where I removed the old on last week. I started early before it got too hot in the attic. By the time I got done it was already up to 90 degrees. They also had some of the rain gutters that needed to be repaired that were coming loose from the house. I removed the nails that had come loose and replaced them with screws. Then I did a cleaning as the downspouts were plugged with pine needles and leaves. It was noon when I got home and was 97 degrees out. I was ready for a second shower as I was wet from sweating. After lunch I sat down for a while and ended up taking a long nap. I decided it was too hot to do any more work outside. I did get an estimate done for a possible job over in Tampa Bay country. This morning Cheri got a beef roast going in the crockpot to have for supper. Then she took Grandma for her lab appointment and a trip to the bank. Thank you God for a good day.

Another month has slipped away and the year is half over. For the most part Cheri and I spent a pretty quiet day. Grandma went to church with us. It was a celebration of America and how our country was set up from the bible. Pastor Randy had a very interesting message. Sunday school was very good as we were studying 2 Samuel 9:1-13. God is honored when we extend kindness to others. This afternoon Cheri read and napped and I watched the NASCAR race and napped. We are both still tired from our trip. Late this afternoon we met Ron & Sandy and Mike & Pam at Pizza Hut for supper and visiting. It is time for us to look for another place for a meal and visiting as Pizza Hut was really bad. Ron and Sandy’s pizza came out over baked and wasn’t suitable to eat and ours was under cooked. A hard rain came through while we were eating and received another inch. Thank you God for a day spent with you and Christian friends.

Cheri and I were at Sunrise Eatery a little pass 7:00 am for breakfast. It was good to be back for our Saturday morning breakfast together. Cheri said that she had no plans for today so it will be interesting to see what she does. I make some phone calls to see about checking out some additional jobs. While waiting for some call backs I went to Lowe’s to get some materials for and attic door I will be doing next week. Before I got home I received call backs so headed to Tampa Bay country to check them out. The first stop was for measurements for the attic door. Next was to see about doing a plumbing project to get water to a refrigerator on the patio. Next was to check out a couple of roofs over signs that need to be replace. On the way home it rained so hard that it was hard to see to drive. My last stop was back at Lowe’s to price out materials for the sign roofs. I have to submit an estimate for the project. When I got home Cheri said that she went to Walgreens to have some photos printed and then made a batch of chocolate chip cookies. I checked the rain gauge and we received another inch today. Thank you God for a blessed day.
