Since
we had that storm with all the wind a week or so ago I have been putting off
cleaning up twigs and branches that came down. So today was the day to get
things done. I first got up on the roof and sweep it, sure was a lot of twigs
all over the roof. Next I got the step ladder out and cleaned the rain gutters.
Lastly I rake the lawn and got all the twigs and branches pick up. After all of
that I was bushed (play on words). When I came in the house Cheri was busy in
the sewing room. After a nice shower I headed to the recliner as I figured I had
done enough for the day. I read for a bit and then took a nice two hour nap.
This evening I had security and now that Mike has moved I was without a partner
so Cheri went with me. It was really quiet so we quit early and was done by
10:30 pm. We headed for bed and watched the Wisconsin Badgers play LSU. The
Badgers played a great game for the first half and then LSU came roaring back
in the second half and beat the Badgers. Ok it is now midnight and time to call
it a night. Cheri only lasted through the first quarter.

I
had a hard time getting my motor stared this morning really not wanting to do
anything. But I was determined to get the bike barn completed today. Cheri got her laundry started before he headed
off to the pool for her exercise. The first thing I had to do was figure out
how I was going to make a latching system to hold the bike barn closed. I have
been pondering on that part for a few days. I looked though some of the things
that I had and found an aluminum angle five feet long that I had used on the
fifth wheel that would work. With that figured out I could now finish putting
the pool noodles around the base of the barn. It was noon by the time I got
that part done. I took a break for lunch and then to Lowe’s to pick up the
latches I needed to finish the job. I just got done with the project when it
started to rain, good timing. I am very happy with the way it came out. Now the
motorcycle should stay a lot cleaner. When I came in Cheri was busy in the
sewing room. After I got cleaned up I headed for the recliner as I was done for
the day, a short time later Cheri joined me. So it was a good day that God made
for us.

My
project for the day was to get my bike barn fastened down and to try to seal it
from the dust that was getting in and on the bike. When we moved here I wasn’t
sure I wanted to keep the bike barn and even had advertised for sale. When it didn’t
sell I decided to keep it and glad now that I didn’t sell it. I didn’t know
where I wanted to put it in the car port and tried a couple of different places
and final settled on one spot. So for the last ten months it has been sitting
in the same place. I was using concrete blocks to hold it in place. So today
was the day to get it fastened down with bolts and anchors. I want to seal the
opening from the bottom of the frame to the concrete and thought that some pool
noodles what work. So late morning Cheri and I went to buy the pool noodles,
Ron told me that he saw them at the Dollar Store for one dollar each. So our
first stop was the Dollar Tree store and they were out of them. We checked
three more Dollar stores with no luck. Our next stop was Big Lots; no pool
noodles but manage to spend 60 dollars. We were close to two fabric shops that
Cheri wanted to stop at, another 80 dollars and no pool noodles. We made a stop
at Home Depot to look at potted gallon size Mums on sale, five for ten dollars.
We decided to that we needed the two gallon size and would wait to see if they
would come on sale. I also got the anchors I needed for the bike barn, no
noodles. Ok I gave up and went to Wal-Mart and found the noodles I wanted. We
also eat lunch at a new place called Little Ninja. It just opened a couple of
weeks ago. It was pretty good and plan on going again sometime. When we got
home Cheri headed to the sewing room and me outside to work on the bike barn.
It looks like the pool noodles will work really well to seal the opening. I hope
to finish the project tomorrow.

We
took it easy this morning as there wasn’t any time to get anything done before
it was time to take Grandma for her 10:00 am doctor’s appointment. Things went
better today as I had her back home by 11:00 am. I told her we would pick her
up at 11:45 am to take her to Wal-Mart to have her hair cut and to get groceries.
I headed home for a quick lunch and then Cheri and I headed back to take her to
Wal-Mart. We got her groceries while she was getting her haircut. All said and
done it was 1:30 pm before we got back home. We decided it was too late and hot
to start any projects today. So we spent the rest of the afternoon reading
along with some computer work and a nap. We left at 5:00 pm to pick up Mike and
Pam at Walgreens and then to McDonald’s to met Ron & Sandy and Craig &
Michelle for supper and then to church for Bible study. Tonight was out last
Bible study on Revelations. It is a hard book to understand, thankful that we
have a Life Group to help us. After Bible study we along with Mike and Pam made
a stop at the Village Inn for some of their free Wednesday night pie. Mike got
the results from his MRI and found out that he has a very bad sinuses infection.
Thank you for prayers for Mike and Grandma. Grandma is feeling about the same
and they both still need your prayers.

After
Cheri got home from her pool exercise we headed up town to get haircuts. On our
way back home we got a call from Pam telling us that they were out for a walk
and Mike got really light headed and went back home. Pam took him to the doctor
and they are doing test to see if they can find out what caused the light headiness.
We heard from Pam this afternoon and he has to go for a MRI tomorrow. So would
you put Mike on your prayer list along with Grandma as she is still not feeling
well? When we got home Cheri did her Tuesday cleaning and then to the sewing
room to figure out what her next project is going to be. I worked on putting in
the new tray slides in kitchen pantry. My two hour project turned out to be a
six hour project. The pantry wasn’t square and the trays were twisted and made
for a tough job. Cheri is happy to have it done. This evening we went out and
watched the space station pass overhead. We were able to view it for six
minutes but we only watched for about three minutes as the mosquitoes thought
we were their evening snack. We watched a couple of movies and called it a
night.
