Sharp's Travels

I was another cold morning with a temp of 38 degrees. There was no wind and a lot of sun. So the morning walk was nice. We made a trip to Dade City to have Cheri’s glasses adjusted. We made a stop at the grocery store on the way home. This after noon we went to see the movie Fools Gold. It was a good movie with a lot of laughs. We got a call from Kari this evening and said she liked the paintings that Cheri did for her and Jason. She is hoping that Jason will be able to get them put up this weekend. 3/8/08 is there open house for their Camp Bow Wow (doggie day care). It is going to be another cold night.

It was cold and windy this morning with a temp of 43 degrees and a high of 57 degrees, yesterday we had a high of 78 degrees. We had bought new drapes and shears for Grandpa and Grandma (with professional installation). Well two guys came at 10:15 am to install them and didn’t get done until 3:30 pm, three windows and a patio door, plus they didn’t have to change rods on one window. After they left we noticed that one of the rods was put up crooked. Now they will have to come back and fix it. I am sure I could have done the job with Cheri’s help a lot faster and done a better job. After that there was no time to do anything else for the day.

This morning I took Grandpa for his 8:40 am doctor appointment. It was a follow up visit from his hospital stay. He is still very weak and his blood pressure is now on the low side. So the doctor made a change in medications. When I got home Cheri was cleaning and cooking a corn beef for supper. She was also working on taxes and updating Grandpa medical history. After lunch I went down to Ken and Eileen’s to fix the lights on their golf cart. I found a bad wiring connection. At 2:00 pm I went back over to the neighbor across the street and worked on the remote starter for his generator. Traced it down to a wire with a bad connection, replaced the section of wire and now every thing works OK. Just has we started to go for our evening walk it started raining. It turned to a very hard rain with a lot of wind. It was still raining when we went to bed.

After the morning walk I got the bike out so I could put the lumber away from the painting easel. After Cheri got dressed we rolled all the burlap paintings on a carpet tube to ship them to Jason and Kari. I took Grandpa to the heart doctor this afternoon and had to wait an hour and a half to see the doctor. When I got home Cheri and I dropped off the painting at the UPS store to be shipped out. Then it was to Wal-Mart for groceries and to drop of prescriptions for Grandpa. When we got home I went over to the neighbors to help him with his generator. The remote starter doesn’t work; it appears to be a bad wire connection. We run out of day light and will work on it tomorrow. After supper we did our evening walk and was 7:30 before we got done.

There were 112 in church this morning. When we got there we were surprised to see Grandpa and Grandma. As it turned out it was too much for him. He was really tired when we got him home. Cheri made Rice Crispier bars and then fixed jerk pork chops for dinner while dismantled the painting easel. This afternoon we were invited down to Ken & Eileen’s to play Five Crown and dominos along with other friends and cousins. Cheri won two games of dominos and I won one game of Five Crown. When we got home Cheri took a short nap while I finished reading a book. It was 7:00 pm before we got done with our walk.
