It was near 5:30 am before
I got up, which is unusual for me. I really didn’t feel like doing any work
today. But I needed to get the doggie ramp done for Donna today. When I took
the doggie ramp over to Donna’s I also took a piece of sheet rock and installed
it in the laundry room where the door had been removed. I wasn’t in the mood to
do any plaster work so I left that for another day. I also installed the dryer
vent for Lou where I had been working earlier this week. I sat and visited with
her after I got the vent installed as she lives by herself and is very lonely.
When I got home Cheri was busy working on the puzzle. We had a late lunch and
then I headed to the recliner doing some Sudoku Puzzles. When Cheri decided she
had done enough on the puzzle. We watched a movie or I should say Cheri watched
and I napped. We had the leftovers from yesterday for supper, still very good.
We watched some of our recorded shows before calling it a night. Thank you God
for a blessed day and keep us safe from the COVID.

Cheri and I had leftover
waffles from yesterday. We just put them in the toaster and heated them up and
taste like they just came out of the waffle maker. I had a 9:30 am appointment
over at Donna’s this morning. I figured on working on the window project. But
Donna wanted me to a doggie ramp so her dog (Tinker) could get up on the bed. Tinker
is old and can’t jump up on the bed anymore. I had bought a doggie stairs from
a garage sale a couple of weeks ago. But it was high enough for her to use. So I
took it home and made a ramp and attached it to the stairs. I cut carpet to put
on it and my air stapler quit working. So I took it apart and tied to fix it
but wasn’t able to get it to work any longer. So I while using the hand stapler
I ran out of staples. So I headed out to Harbor Freight to buy a new air
stapler but were out of them. I was surprised how many people were out and
about. I put on my mask and headed into the store. There were several people in
the store and only saw two other people with mask on. As long as I was out I
headed to Lowes as I had several things I needed to pick up and decided as long
as I was already out I would get it done. There were a lot of people in Lowe’s
and only saw two other people with a mask on. I got everything I needed and
headed for home. So while I was out I saw less than 1 percent of the people
wearing a mask. Which means there is going to be a lot more cases of the
COVID-19. It was near 4:00 pm when I got home and wiped everything down with disinfection
wipes and then headed for the shower to get cleaned up. Cheri did the rest of
the laundry, made a peach cobbler, a new recipe of Cracked out Chicken Tater
Tot Casserole, and worked on the puzzle. The cobbler and casserole were for
supper and it was really good. Cheri said we are having the same thing tomorrow
for supper. We did a face time call with Darren, Brooke, and Wyatt this evening
was good to see and talk to them. They also have everything shut down there and
now have cases of the virus there. It was a short evening of TV before calling
it a night. Thank you God for helping us through this day.

I pray that you all are
doing what you need to do to be safe during this time. Cheri fixed us waffles
for breakfast which were very good and have extra for tomorrow morning. All we
have do is put them in the toaster to heat them up. After Cheri got the laundry
and her Thursday house work done she headed back to working on the new puzzle.
She spent the rest of the day working on it. I went over to the camper and did
some maintenance work and also got measurements to build an additional cabinet
in the bathroom. So when I got home I went to work on getting out the material I
needed and started on the project. I ordered a new router bit that will make
better joints where the pieces come together. It should arrive on Saturday. It
was 1:30 pm when I came in the house and told Cheri I was hunger and she said
what time is it and when I told her it was 1:30 pm she couldn’t believe it was
that late. She was really wrapped up working on the puzzle. After lunch she
continued working on the puzzle. I did a couple of Sudoku Puzzles I printed on
line. I spent a lot of time on them as they were the hard ones. So after doing
them it was nap time for me. I asked Cheri what we were having for supper and
she said the rest of the bean soup. That was a surprise as I thought we had the
rest of it last night. It was still very good. Later we had some ice cream
while watching our TV shows. Thank you God for a blessed day and keep all of
our family, friends, and love ones away from the COVID-19.

Here we are in April and
March wasn’t a good month for all the people of the world. Normally I start the
month April with an April fool’s joke. But today there is no joke. We all need
to pray for the country and the world to bring the COVID-19 to an end. It’s going
to take all of us to make this happen. It will only happen if the people all
come together and work a one. Today the governor signed a stay at home for the month
of April. This morning I had a possum in the live trap which I have been trying
to catch that last couple of days. So I took him or her for a ride out in the
country side to find a new home. I had an appointment here in the park to repair
a cabinet door, repair door trim, and reskin a shed door. I also remove the
dryer vent hood as it was broken and needs to be replaced. I will be getting a
new one when it is safe to be out and about. Cheri started a new puzzle today.
She got the frame part done with a little help from me. We also had a Zoom meeting
with our Sunday school class to see how everyone was doing and if we needed to
help each other. I also read more of Grandpa and Grandma’s love letters from
1915. They are so interesting, using the horse and buggy and also talk about
riding in a car. Cheri fixed the rest of the barbeque bean soup for supper. We
are just about out of TV shows we have recorded to watch. Thank you God for
blessing us with a good day and keeping us healthy.

Cheri was busy first thing
this morning putting together everything in the crockpot to make barbeque bean
soup to have for supper. I had a 9:30 am appointment to install an additional
electrical outlet in the shed of a couple here in our park. It was an easy job
and was done by noon. When I got home Cheri was working on mopping the floors.
I headed to the bathroom to have my second shower for the day as I came home
all sweaty and smelly. After lunch we sat in our recliner to watch a couple of
shows. Well within a few minutes we were both napping so I turned the TV off
and both napped. I don’t know why I was so tired but napped for two hours. My
cousin sent me a thumb drive that she had scanned in love letters that our
grandpa and grandma had wrote to each other back in 1915. They are very interesting how they showed
their love for each other and about things that were happing back then. My
grandmother was a teacher before they got married and talked about how bad some
of the students were and had to use a switch on them to make them mind. Also
talked about going 15 miles with a horse and buggy which was an all day trip of
four hours each way. They are so interesting and still have more to read. The
barbeque bean soup Cheri made was very good. It has been a long time since
Cheri has made some for me. The rest of the evening was spent with watching TV
along with a bowl of ice cream. Thank you God for a blessed day keep us safe
from the COVID-19.
