I hope all had a happy 4th
with families, friends, and fireworks to celebrate our country. Plus a thank
you to all the military people for protecting our nation. Cheri and I went out
for breakfast at the Breakfast Station. Most of the breakfast was really good
except for the hash browns which were tough. I don’t think that they were
soaked long enough before cooking them. Cheri headed out to do some grocery
shopping at Walmart, she really didn’t want to go to Walmart but needed some
things there. I headed next door to continue working on the floor project. I
only worked four hours as my knees wouldn’t take anymore being down on them. I
also made a trip to Harbor Freight as my air stapler quit working and waited
until today to get a new one as I could get 25 percent off on the 4th.
So long story short I was done early today and had my shower and in the
recliner by 3:30 pm and felt good to be done for the day. We watched Hallmark mastery
movies along with some other shows we had recorded. Because of the big
breakfast we didn’t have any lunch today and also long as I got done work early
we had an early supper. Later we had a bowl of ice cream while watching TV. We
had a hard rain come through around 3:00 pm which lasted about 20 minutes and
received ½ inch, we also got ¼ inch yesterday. Thank you God for helping us
through another day.

The heat index was 108 to
112 today also the temp was in the high 90’s. It wasn’t a day to be outside
working. I was back at the flooring project at 8:30 am and it was hot just
going out to cut the flooring. I took a lunch break at 11:30 am as I was
hurting and needed to relax for a bit. But was back to laying flooring at noon.
I had a plumbing problem to work on at 1:00 pm. It turned out to be a toilet
that continued to run so I installed new float valve and flapper. From there I
went to remove an old blind and install a new one. It took a while as I had a
problem with the new blind hangers. I had to modify them in order for them to
hold up the new blind. Then on the way home I stopped at Lowe’s for the second
time today. I needed to get parts to repair a bathroom sink stopper. It was
4:30 pm when I finally got home. I was tired and sweaty and ready for a hot
shower. Cheri was busy in her sewing room most of the day. She said that things
didn’t go well for her and will try again another day. She fixed the last of
the lasagna for supper and yes it was still very good. It was another evening
of TV. Cheri now has us watching Christmas in July movies, just doesn’t seem
right watching Christmas movies now. Thank you God for blessed day.

I left the house at 7:10
am to attend the accountability group breakfast and Bible study. It was good to
get back as I missed a couple of weeks with doctor appointments. There were
eight of us today and had a good discussion. I was home around 9:00 am. I got
things together and went next door to work on the flooring project. I was able
to start laying some of the flooring. It was 4:00 pm when I quit for the day.
Cheri was busy with her Tuesday house work and Jean came over for a visit which
took care of the rest of Cheri’s morning. We had leftover lasagna and Texas
toast for supper. Lasagna always taste better the second day as it seems to
have a better flavor. Cheri said that is a good thing because I am having it
again tomorrow. This evening we watched a couple more of the Hallmark mystery
movies. Thank you God for a bless day and giving us guidance. We are still
having hot weather in the high 90’s with a lot of humidity and was already 79
degree at 5:00 am.

Hard to believe that another
month has gone. We all need to make good use of our time as it is something we
can never get back. I left around 8:30 am and headed for the Sunday school
kitchen project. I worked on the cabinet doors of the old cabinets which are
all metal. I sanded down the old pull holes and plugged them with some JB Weld.
I got a call while I was there from church friends Dick and Linda and told me
If I brought the doors to them they would sand and paint them, which made me
very happy as you know I don’t like painting. I also built a panel to fill the
opening between the cabinet and wall. There used to be a shelf there but with
the new cabinets you couldn’t get to it so it needed to be closed up. I also
put on a coat of primer on the under lament so it will be ready for the back
splash. I thought that I would take the old kitchen stove to the salvage yard
but was too heavy for me to load into the truck by myself. I was done by 2:30
pm and headed to Dick and Linda’s with the cabinet doors. Then I made a stop at
Lowe’s for some materials returns and to buy a rope to put across Larry and
Denise’s driveway as the old one had deteriorated and needed to be replace. It was
4:30 pm when I finally got home. Cheri had a busy day as she was out and about
doing errands, shopping, and made lasagna for our supper along with Texas
toast. It was a normal evening of TV. We are still having very hot weather as
it was 93 today. Thank you God for a wonderful day.

Grandma went to church
with us today. Pastor Randy’s message was titled “2 Steps to Behavior” It was
from James 4:6-10. Our Sunday school lesson was titled “Being Responsible” from
1 Timothy 5:1-8, 17-21. It was after 1:00 pm when we got home. I changed my
clothes and made a trip to Lowe’s looking for cabinet locks. I found some that
might work but they didn’t have enough of them that was keyed the same. I was
tired and didn’t feel like making a trip to Home Depot. When I got home I
joined Cheri to watch a couple more mystery movie from the Hallmark channel. I
also planned on watching the NASCAR race this afternoon but is was in a rain
delay and didn’t started until around 6:00 pm. We had our usual Sunday evening
pizza for supper. We watched a couple more movies. Cheri headed for bed and I
stayed up to watch the NASCAR race that didn’t get over until after 10:00 pm.
Thank you God for time spent with Church and Sunday school friends.
