Brooke was able to work
from home today and Darren had the day off. So Darren took us out for breakfast
and then across town so Darren could get a haircut. We made a stop at Harbor
Freight to pick up a dolly for a project Darren wants to build which is a
storage unit to put the door from his Jeep. Yes he got a new Jeep and in the
summer he likes to drive it without the doors and top. We also made a stop at
Home Depot to get some PVC pipe and other materials to build it. Then we met
Brooke at Target so Cheri and I could buy them a car seat for the new baby.
When we got back home Darren and I removed the hardtop from the Jeep so we
could take out the soft top which was blocking the back cargo area. Darren
wanted to store it in the garage and found water on the floor which was coming
from the air conditioner. The air conditioner drain was plugged so we got the
air compressor out and blew out the drain pipe and got it opened up. Then we
started working on building the holder for the Jeep doors. We got the PVC pipe
cut. Then it was time to leave and go to Chris and Cheryl’s for dinner. They
fixed us a wonder dinner of pork chops on the grill along with cooked cabbage, creamed
corn, green beans, fresh biscuits, and key lime pie for desert. We had a great
visit and then back to Darren and Brooke’s around 9:30 pm.

Well we were packed and on
the road at 7:00 am heading to Darren and Brooke’s in Roswell GA. We wanted an
early start so we wouldn’t have the rush hour traffic when we got to Atlanta.
So all is good we thought but about 49 miles from home we at a dead stop on
I-75 for 2 ½ hours in a long back up of traffic waiting for a four vehicle
accident to be cleared up. So much for our early start. The rest of the trip
was uneventful and the rush hour traffic wasn’t as bad as the last time, think
it was because we were an hour earlier this time. After visiting with Brooke
and Darren we went to help Brooke’s parents get things cleaned up for the baby
shower Sunday. After we got done we all went out for supper. It was a little
past 9:00 pm when we got back to Darren and Brooke’s. We visited for a while
and then headed to bed as we were both tired from the trip.

I took Grandma for her
9:30 am knee appointment. I was feeling good about it because we were the
doctor’s first appointment. Well we didn’t see the doctor until 10:25 am. She
said that she was running late. When I got home I thought we would be going to
the ER room as a good friend of ours has been really sick and was talking about
going to the ER. But decide to tough it out and not go. Cheri was busy packing
for our trip tomorrow to see Darren and Brooke. I took the car through the car
wash and then gas it up so we would be ready to leave early in the morning.
When I got home we had a sandwich for lunch. I watered the flowers with extra
water in hopes that they will be ok while we are gone. They are old flowers and
I plan on replacing them this year so it wouldn’t be a great lost. Later this afternoon
I loaded the car with some of the things we are taking. We relaxed the rest of
the afternoon checking our list to make sure we had everything we wanted to get
done before we leave. Cheri fixed us a hamburger and fries for supper want to
make sure we didn’t have any leftovers.

It is with a heavy heart I
write the blog this morning. Our friend and brother Mel went home to be with
Jesus.
This morning Cheri went
right to work on her quilt project and I had some computer work along with a
phone call that I needed to get done. We left to go see Mel at 10:00 am. He was
not very responsive and as if he had trouble figuring out who we were. We sat
with Jan and visited while having a sandwich for lunch. Pastor Randy came and
talked to Mel and he did respond a little. We left around 12:30 pm as we needed
to get a few things for Grandma at Wal-Mart. After we dropped them off we
headed home as I had a few things to get done outside and Cheri was back at
work on her quilt project. We went back to check on Mel at 5:00 pm and at 6:15
pm Jesus came to take him home. Pastor Randy came about 6:30 pm to pray with
us. After Pastor Randy left we helped Jan get all of Mel’s things in the car
and Cheri rode home with Jan and I followed in our car. We helped Jan unload
the car and visited a while. We wanted to make sure she was ok before we left. It
was around 8:30 pm when we arrived home. We tried to watch some TV but we both
had a heavy heart. We were sad to have loss a dear friend but happy he is no
longer in any pain and is with Jesus.

Our day started out on the
slow side. Cheri didn’t have a good night’s sleep so she tried to sleep in
longer this morning. We left the house at 9:30 am to go and see Mel. He was
sleeping when we got there and Jan was meeting with a social worker and then a
doctor. She was up a lot during the night and needed to go home and shower plus
had some errands she needed to do. So we stayed with Mel while she was gone. We
finally had to leave at 1:20 pm as Cheri had an eye appointment at 1:30 pm.
Just before we left friends of Mel and Jan came and said that they would stay
with Mel until Jan returned. Cheri got a good report and will be getting new
glasses. She will have one pair for normal wearing and one pair for reading.
She couldn’t have bifocals because of the prism she needs to correct the double
vision. It was 2:45 pm when we got home and hadn’t had any lunch. We had a
sandwich and then headed to Plant City as Cheri needed some material for the
quilt project she is working on. On the way back home we stopped by to see Mel
again and visit with Jan. It was 6:30 pm when we left her and then made a stop
at Larry and Denise’s house to check to see if all was OK. We had leftovers for
supper and settled in to watch Dancing with the Stars. Cheri was happy with the
voting.
