This morning I headed to Dade City to install the new drawers I made for the church kitchen. I did have to do a little adjustment but the project went well. When I got home I found Cheri busy in her sewing room. She had also started a new recipe with pork chops in the crock pot, they do smell good. After lunch I work on doing some sanding on the rocking motorcycle and Cheri back to the sewing room. Later this afternoon Cheri had an eye appointment and has to have new glasses. She still has the double vision, praying that the new glasses will help to remove the double vision so that she can drive again. She misses being able to go shopping when she feels the need. Cheri and I didn’t think the new pork chop recipe was very good but still have one more meal of it. It was another evening watching the TV shows we have recorded. Sure is nice that we don’t have to watch all the commercials.

Grandma didn’t go to church with us this morning as our daughter is coming this morning to spend some time with her while Cheri and I are in church. We missed Sunday school this morning so we could be home by 11:00 am because Kari, Dan, and Grandma were coming over. They arrived around 11:45 am. It was good to see Kari and to meet Dan. We had a nice visit before going to Golden Coral for lunch. After lunch we came back to our place for more visiting reminiscing old times. It nice to get to know Dan and some of the things he has done. They left around 6:30 pm and dropped Grandma off at home. We settled in for an evening of TV watching the Daytona 500 that I had recorded along with the rest of the death by chocolate cake with ice cream. The race was very exciting and was more interesting with the new rules. It was late by the time we got done watching the race. Thank you God for letting have time with family today.

Cheri and I weren’t in the mood to do anything today. I was just being lazy and Cheri needed the thread to do any work on her quilt project. We checked with Larry and Denise to see if they wanted to go to Lakeland with us today. They said yes so we picked them up at 9:45 am and headed to Jo Ann fabrics for Cheri and Denise. Larry and I went to Harbor Freight. Larry got a couple of things and I picked up a couple of wood clamps to use on the rocking motorcycle. After we picked up Cheri and Denise we headed across town to Ling’s to have Chinese for lunch, the best place for Chinese food. Then we took the long way back home. After dropping Larry and Denise off we stopped by Grandma’s to see about streaming Uncle Max’s funeral service, it wasn’t available and found out that the church had trouble with the camera. I felt bad because Grandma was looking forward to watching the service. It was after 3:00 pm when we got home and was ready for the recliner and some TV along with a nap. Because of the large lunch there wasn’t any supper but we did have some death by chocolate cake with some ice cream later in the evening.

I was on the road at 6:15 am to have breakfast with my accountability group in Dade City. Today was the fourth time I have gone and now look forward to it each Friday morning. When I got home Cheri was just getting around and I headed to the shower. After getting cleaned up and some Bible study it was time to do some more painting on the drawers. I did a few odd jobs while waiting for each coat to. We also made a trip to Winn Dixie for a few groceries. With the drawers finally done I loaded them in the car and headed to church to install them and found that the church is closed on Friday afternoons. When I got home Cheri was busy making a dessert to take to Life Group this evening. Cheri said that she ran out of thread for the project she is working on and needs to go to Joan-Fabrics, maybe tomorrow. We met Mike and Pam at Walgreens and then rode with us to meet Ron and Sandy at Wendy’s for supper. After we eat we all headed back to Ron and Sandy’s for our Life Group gathering. It was a good evening as Cheri and I leaned a couple of things that Pam and Mike explained to us on the way home. It is such a joy to have good friends to help guide us in our walk with God.

It was another morning and into early afternoon with more light rain. Which washed out the motorcycle ride we guys were going to do today. It also was another day that I wasn’t able to get my painting done. I did check the rain gauge and only received ½ inch for the two days. A friend (Jerry) from Dade City called me this morning and wanted me to go and check out a miniature golf course just outside of Zephyrhills. He is thinking about building one in Dade City and wanted my input on it. We did get a little damp while checking it out. Cheri was once again spending time in her sewing room and doing laundry. After lunch we gave Larry and Denise a call to see if they wanted to go over to Wesley Chapel to check out the new Costco store. They went along with us and I had decided to get a membership but waited check it out first as long as Larry and Denise had a membership. After checking out the store I decided not to join. Our next stop was Sam’s Club where we did buy a few things and renewed our membership there. Then we headed back to Larry and Denise’s where Denise and Cheri fixed us supper. Then it was time for a couple of games of Hand, Knee, and Foot. We got home around 8:30 pm and I settled in to watch the NASCAR races. After about an hour Cheri gave up and went to bed. It was around 11:30 pm when I tuned off the TV.
