I forgot to mention yesterday we got a text from Darren
telling us that at 9 weeks baby Wyatt rolled over for the first time. Today was
a good day for Cheri and me. Cheri did some touch up painting on the closet and
then spent the rest of the day in her sewing room. She has started making
another baby blanket. I worked on spray painting the closet door which has
taken a while as I put three coats on the back side and two coats on the front
side and at least one more to do on the front side. I was able to do other work
during the drying time. I replaced the piece of crown molding which was a challenge
because it was a different style and got the base board installed. If things go
well tomorrow I will have the closet done. We had leftovers of ham and potatoes
for supper. The potatoes was from a new recipe and were lacking some seasoning so
Cheri add some seasoning and they were much better this time. It was a good day
that God made for us, but every day is a good day it is just how we use it to
honor him.

Today wasn’t one of my better days. I worked on
installing the pre hung closet door this morning. It was a project that shouldn’t
have taking more than an hour but thing just didn’t go right for me and took
about three hours to get it in. I also took down a piece of crown molding that
I tried to patch. I thought it would be all right after it was painted but wasn’t
up to my standards. So while Cheri was doing the painting on the door frame I
was going to spray paint the door but it was too windy. I looked over at the
neighbors and saw that one of her screens had fallen off the house. So I went
over to reinstall it but all the corners had deteriorated from the sun and
needed new replacement parts. So I check with her and she did have some
replacement parts so I was able to get the screen repaired and reinstalled.
Then I made a trip to Home depot to see about getting a piece of crown molding
that would be close to what we already have. I only needed a piece three feet
long and couldn’t find anyone to cut it for me. I looked for a person to help
me and could find anyone. I finally went to the front of the store and found
several of them visiting (I wasn’t happy). After I got my piece of molding I
had a talk with the manager but don’t think it did any good but made me feel
better. I also made a stop at Lowe’s to get another LED light bulb for the
kitchen, yes another one burned out. That makes three out of the seven in a year’s
time. There was only one on the shelf and it was one that had been returned.
Once again I had to go find someone to get a box of them down for me. When I
got home Cheri was getting ready to put on another coat of paint. I was done
for the day as I was afraid to doing anything else. It was one of those days
that God was trying my patients and looking back I probably could have done
better.

We got an e-mail from Grandma saying that she did feel
like getting out of the house today. So it was just Cheri and I for church
today. We had a guest speaker today as Pastor Randy was in Maine spending time
with his son on a bear hunt. After Sunday school was Linger Longer to get to
visit with our Sunday school class friends with a lunch of salads, sandwiches,
and dessert. Cheri fixed Grandma a plate of food and we dropped that off at her
place. Then we took her grocery and medicine list and went to Wal-Mart. While
Cheri was getting the groceries I went to pick up her medicine. Well the pharmacy
was close between 1:30 pm and 2:00 pm. So I had to wait about 15 minutes for it
to open. By the time all was said and done it was near 3:00 pm before we got
home. I settled in to watch the NASCAR race and Cheri put on another coat of
paint on the closet. We just had a snack for supper as we were still full from
the lunch at church. We got a call this evening from Larry and Denise. Larry
just had a knee replacement and was telling us about it. He said that he is
doing well and is home doing his exercise for the knee. Cheri got a text from
Nikki around 9:30 pm letting us know that they got home ok. It was another very
hot and humid day.

I was out before 7:00 am to work on weeding around the
neighbor’s house. I needed to get it done before it got too hot. So breakfast
was a little later this morning. After breakfast Cheri went right to work on
painting the new closet which took her most of the day as she put on two coats of
paint with a short break in between the two coats. I did some clean up in the
shop and made a shelf for the closet. After lunch I settled in to watch the
Green Bay Packers preseason football game that I had recorded as the game was
on the west coast and didn’t start until 10:00 pm last night which was too late
for me to stay up. I also watch the NASCAR race along with a nap during the
race. Around 4:00 pm we got a hard rain but only lasted about 45 minutes. After
supper it was another evening of TV.

Cheri and I had a busy morning. Cheri had a lot of laundry
to do from our trip plus cleaning floors. I went over to the neighbors and
removed a couple of seed pods from the palm trees. I also need to do some
weeding around the bushes and flowers but just too hot to do it today. I got
the rest of my tools unloaded from the car that I took to Darren and Brooke’s.
A few days ago I got a call from Home Depot letting me know that the closet
door had come in so I headed over to pick it up. When I got back I did some
patching on the crown molding where I was short a small piece. At 11:45 am
Cheri and I headed out for had lunch at DQ. Then a stop at Lowe’s for paint,
wood filler, door lock set, and some salt for the water softener. Our next stop
was at Wal-Mart for groceries. It was after 1:00 pm when we got home. Cheri and
I were both in a somewhat depressed state today, not sure why but maybe from
the trip and trying to get back into our routine. Any way we rested and watched
TV the rest of the afternoon and evening.
