I was out the door at 6:05
am heading to Dade City for breakfast and Bible study with my accountability
group. Our Bible study was Romans chapter 12. If we all could do what is in Chapter
12 all of our problem would be solved. Please take time to read it and meditate
on what you read. I was back home a little after 8:00 am. We left at 9:00 am to
take Nikki to the airport. Sure was nice having her here to spend Christmas and
the New Year with us. On the way home we stopped at Sam’s Club in Wesley Chapel
to get a few things we needed and some things we didn’t know wanted. Cheri had
laundry started before we left for the airport and she continued working on
that this afternoon. I went to check out kitchen faucet install to see what
type of faucet she wanted and then to Lowe’s to buy one, a project I will be
doing sometime next week. Cheri also went for her haircut and I went to Auto
Zone to get new struts and shocks for the truck. Late this afternoon we had a
hard rain which lasted into the evening, checked the gauge and we received just
under an inch. Larry and Denise came over this evening to play Hand, knee, and
Foot. Larry and I won the first game by a narrow margin and Cheri and Denise
won the second game by a huge margin. Thank you God for a blessed and time
spent with good friends.

I had a 9:30 am
appointment over in Tampa Bay country to install a new kitchen faucet. I run
into a problem I haven’t seen before. The supply lines where part of the
shutoff valves and the new faucet had the supply lines already attached. So
that met I had to install new shutoff valves. I went to the truck to get the
parts I needed and found that I forgot to put the container of all the plumbing
parts in the truck. I told the people I would be back after lunch to finish the
project. I had another appointment to check out about installing a three way
switch in their bathroom. The bathroom has two doors into it one from the
bedroom and the other from the hallway. When they come in from the hallway they
have to walk all the way to the other side of the bathroom for the light
switch. This is the reason that they want an additional switch by the hall entrance.
I told them all the work that would have to be done to wire in a three way
switch and then told them that it would be a good place to use a wireless
switch. Long story short I have ordered a wireless switch for them. I stopped a
Lowe’s to get the plumbing parts I needed and then home for lunch. Then back to
the kitchen faucet project. I was done and back home by 4:00 pm. Cheri was busy
with laundry and ironing today. Nikki left after lunch to spend the afternoon
with Grandma. This evening we went out to eat at the Sunrise Eatery. We had to
wait about twenty minutes to get in, a very popular place and good food. It was
near 7:30 pm when we got home. We had a normal evening of TV, no treats because
of the big supper. Thank you God for a blessed day.

A little after 9:00 am I
headed over to Mike and Pam’s. They got their water bill for the lawn
irrigation system and thought that they might have a leak. I did some checking
and couldn’t find anything that showed a leak. They had just gone to pay the
water bill and they said that a supervisor would come out to check it out. He
had his computer and could show the amount of water used each day. The problem
is that the system was running for too long of a time, more water than needed
to be used. There wasn’t any directions on how to set up the system control. So
I did some internet searching and found a manual on line. I printed off the
part on how to program it. Later Larry and I went to check out another project
of carpenter work in a house. The guy is going to let us know if he wants us to
do the work. The rest of the day was spent putting on a second coat of primer
paint on the shadow boxes. They are now done and ready for install. Cheri was
doing some alterations on some clothes for Nikki and they also went shopping as
they needed some things for the alterations. Cheri fixed us spaghetti with
garlic toast for supper. It was another evening of TV. Thank you God for a
productive day.

Happy New Year. I pray we
all have a better year than last year and find ourselves closer to God. Seems
strange to be writing 2019, just realized we have been retired for 15 years.
Not sure where the time went. I spent my day painting the primer coat on the
shadow boxes. Not happy with the way the primer coat went on and will have to
do some additional sanding before putting on another coat. I even went and
brought some spray cans of primer and that was worst, so it was back to the
paint brush. I hate painting and even tried to talk Cheri into doing the
painting for me but she turned me down. Cheri and Nikki were working on a craft
project today. Later in the afternoon they went and got Grandma and brought her
over to have supper with us. I was going to post some pictures of my work but
since the update on my phone I haven’t been able to upload from my phone to the
blog (something else to check on). It was a normal evening of TV. Thank you God
for a productive day.

The last time I can write
2018. It has been an interesting year for Cheri and me. We have had some good
time and bad times but God has gotten us through another year and we find
ourselves getting closer to God, something we should have done many years ago.
I had a 9:00 am appointment to check out a kitchen stove. She said that she has
trouble with the oven not getting hot enough. After checking it out there wasn’t
any lower heating element. I could see that there had been one but was broke
off at the back of the oven. She has had the stove for nine years and said that
it never work right. She bought the stove that was a floor sample and was on
close out. I told her I could put in an element and it would work ok, but she
decided that she would get a new stove. The rest of the day I worked on the
shadow boxes. I now have them all sanded and ready for primer paint. I did make
a trip to Lowe’s for additional sandpaper and primer paint. Cheri and Nikki
spent the day out shopping and also got groceries for Grandma. We picked up
Grandma at 5:30 pm and we went to Golden Corral for dinner to celebrate the New
Year. Then back home to settle in for an evening of TV, no snacks as we were all
still full from eating too much. I pray that everyone celebrates the New Year sensibly
and has a good time. Thank you God for guiding us through another day, without
you we are nothing.
