Our
morning temp was down another degree to 67, the lowest since spring. I guess it
is a sign of fall in the air. Plus the humidity was low which made for a very
nice day. We picked up Grandma at 9:00 am and headed to church. Pastor Dean
continued the series on tidings and had another good message. After church
seven of us went to Chili’s for lunch. After we dropped off Grandma at home
Cheri and I went and got haircuts. We went at the right time as they had a sale
on haircuts for $7.99. It was after 1:00 pm when we got home, with no Green Bay
Packer football today I figured I would get some painting done in the house
shed. Well I started to walk by the recliner and that was as far as I got. I
watched the rest of the Wisconsin Badger game that I was watching last night
and saw the Badgers actually did better than I thought they would do. Cheri
read the Sunday paper and I watched the NASCAR race. After Cheri’s nap we
called Nikki and did a Skype video call with Cheri’s I Pad. We walked around
inside and outside of the house so she could see everything. We had wanted Coz
to see it also but he was at work. We also listened to some good old time gospel
music that Pam called us about. We spent the evening watching some of the new
fall TV shows. So it was a lazy day in the neighborhood.

It
was Cheri’s day to sleep in as there is no pool exercise class on Saturday. She
looks forward to sleeping in. Of course I didn’t help with her night’s sleep as
I did a lot of snoring so she left in the night and went to the quest bedroom
to sleep. I also didn’t have a very good night’s sleep. It was 69 degrees this
morning and only a ten percent chance of rain. So I got the motorcycle out and
went for an eighty mile ride. I ended up at the Harley dealer in Lakeland, didn’t
know they were having an open house today. I got a chance to check out a couple
of things I need (want) for the motorcycle. I got a call from Cheri while I was
there telling me she was going shopping with Pam. I got home around noon, had
lunch and then rearrange the way we have things under the car port. I moved the
bike barn around and decided to use it until it is sold. Then I sat down to
watch some college foot ball which didn’t last long as I fell asleep. My phone
woke me and it was Coz calling and wanted to set up a Skype call with us. So I
got to see and talk to Coz, Nikki and Cece. While I was talking to them Cheri
called and talked to them from my Cell phone through Skype. She had called to
tell me she was coming to pick me to go out for supper at Panera Bread with
Mike and Pam. After supper we went over to Lowe’s to buy some more paint for
the house shed and dream about other things we want to do in the house. By the
time we got home it was time to watch the Wisconsin Badgers and Ohio State
play. I stayed up until near the end of the third quarter, couldn’t stay awake
any longer and the Badger’s were losing, It was easy to see why Ohio State is
rated number 4 and the Badgers are rated number 23. Oh yes we did get the 10
percent rain late this afternoon.

I
was up at 3:30 am this morning not able to sleep, think it might be the
medicine I am taking for my leg. Cheri started a load of laundry before she
left for her pool exercise. When the laundry was done I put it in the dryer for
her and hung out the rest on the clothe line. When Cheri got home she started
another load of laundry and I went to the U Haul store and made the reservation
for the U Haul truck in Wisconsin. Then I went to Baker Acers to mow Bud’s lawn
and start the water sprinkler, then to Wal-Mart to pick up Grandma’s medicine.
I went to Lowe’s to check on shelving for the house shed. I didn’t find
anything that would fit or it was just too expensive, so I checked lumber cost
and I can built them cheaper and have the size I want, I think that project is
going to wait until we get back from Wisconsin. I headed back to Baker Acers to
drop off Grandma’s medicine and to turn off the water sprinkler on Bud’s lawn.
It was time for lunch when I got home. Cheri was doing some house cleaning and
starting a new quilt project. This afternoon I rested and took a nap. Cheri had
gotten the digital picture frame out and wanted me to get it working with our
Alaskan trip pictures on it. Will in our move from the 5th wheel I can’t
find my flash drives. I kind of remember putting them in something that I would
be sure to know where they would be. Well as you can see I didn’t find them. I
must have looked though everything a couple of time with no luck. I guess I will
have to wait for them to find me. Mike & Mary and Norm & Marlene came
over for supper this evening. We called in an order for pizza from Capri. Then
we guys went over to pick them up. They had never had their pizza before and
thought it was very good. It was a nice evening to spend with friends.

This morning a couple of guys were doing some tree trimming for our neighbors so I went out and talked to them to see about getting the tree in our back yard trimmed. Actually the tree is on the other side of the fence, not in our park. So I wanted the side that hung over the fence to our side trimmed. They quoted me a cost of $125.00 so I had them do the trimming and haul everything away. I was going to buy an electric chain saw that was on a pole to do the trimming myself. But in the end it would have cost me more to do it myself to get the equipment and then I would have to hire someone haul everything away. Glad to have that project done and off my list. Cheri and I are planning a trip to Wisconsin to pick up the furniture and stuff we stored there after we sold our house eight years ago. I have been searching the internet for different ways of on we are going to get everything back to Florida. I have it down to a U Haul or Budget truck I hope to get a reservation for one tomorrow. We plan on flying up and see friends and family then rent the truck and haul everything back to Florida. Everything is stored in a utility trailer we bought; we have no use for the trailer here in Florida so if we load everything into a truck we can leave the trailer in Wisconsin to be sold. We also made a trip to New Port Richey yesterday to drop off a quilt project that Cheri made for the Lady where we went for a massage a few weeks back. She was really liked what Cheri had done and was excited about getting it. She gave Cheri a coupon for two massages. We stopped at Sam’s on the way home; we didn’t need anything but still managed to spend over $100. When we got home I washed the Bike Barn as someone was suppose to come and look at it this evening but never did show up. We had picked up Grandma’s medicine earlier in the day and took that over to her this evening then we stopped by Ed and Loraine’s for a visit as it is the first time we were able stop and visit with them since there return to Florida, Mike and Mary were also there. Then we made a quick stop at Norm and Marlene’s to say high.

We
got up to a wet rainy morning and it didn’t quit until around 1:00 pm. Cheri’s
pool exercise class was postponed until 1:00 pm. I had an 8:45 am fasting lab
at the VA clinic. The good thing I was in and out in 15 minutes plus I got my flu
shot. When I got home Cheri was doing some house cleaning and after breakfast I
went to work in the shed. I got the new lights installed and when I turned them
on only one of them would work. I tried changing bulbs and checked my wiring
and it still didn’t work. I took it down and opened it up and found three wires
that weren’t connected. It is frustrating when you buy something new and it
doesn’t work. Anyway got it fixed and back up so now I have some nice lighting
in the shed. My next project was to install my bench extension I had in the
other shed, first it was time to take a break for lunch. While we were having
lunch Pam called and wanted to know if we were home and was coming over with
something for us. Well when they got here they had a beautiful mum plant for us
as a house warming gift. We sat it out in front of the house. Now I need to get
some work out there as all I had done was pull out most of everything that was
in the flower bed. We visited for a bit and they were on their way to have
lunch and then were coming back late this afternoon to play cards. We played
one game of Hand, Knee and Foot that Mike and I thought we were going to win
but Pam and Cheri came back and won it, was a very close game. Then it was time
to feast on some finger food that Cheri fixed, very good food. After visiting
for a while we played another game of Hand, Knee and foot which Cheri and Pam
won, it was another close game. After Mike and Pam left we watched a little TV
and called it a night.
