Cheri and I were up early
this morning so we headed out at 7:15 am for breakfast at Sunrise Restaurant,
still the best place in town to eat. They have such a following that there were
only a few tables left. By the time we left people were waiting. After
breakfast we headed over to Wal-Mart to pick up groceries for Grandma. We were
still back home by 9:00 am. At 9:45 am we headed over to Larry and Denise’s to
check out the concrete work that we did yesterday and then the four of us
headed to Plant City to pick up our new bed. We were happy with the color as
that was the problem when looking for a bed. It turned out to be an almost exact
match to the old bed. When we got home Larry and Denise helped us on pack it
and get into the Sunroom where it will stay until we get the new mattress
delivered which should be the end of next week. Later this afternoon I made a
trip up to Jan Hughes to install the new oven element that came today, another
project done. Late afternoon we tried to watch a movie but both of us napped
through it. This evening wasn’t much different. I did stay awake to watch half
of the Orange Bowl game which Wisconsin Badgers were playing Miami and will
watch the rest of the game tomorrow. Thank you God for guiding us through
another day.

I was out the door at 6:10
am for breakfast and Bible study with my accountability group this morning. Had
a good study and visit. I was back home by a little after 8:00 am. I got
cleaned up and headed over to Larry and Denise’s at 9:00 am. Larry and I are
framing the step landing and mixing the concrete for it. We got the framing
done about 11:30 am. Cheri and Denise went shopping today. I also got a call
that our truck was ready to pick up. So after lunch Larry took me up to get the
truck and was very disappointed as it has the same clunking sound from the differential
and a managed to put 432 miles on it and I wanted to know why and said that
they did a lot of extensive testing. Makes me think someone needed a truck to
use while they had it. This afternoon Larry and I mixed the cement and got the
step landing poured, looks nice. I headed home to put the new tailgate lock in
the truck and cut the paddle lock off the spare tire as we weren’t given a key
for it, something the dealer was supposed to do while they had it. This evening
I did a Google search on the truck problem and found out it is a known problem and
GM will not do anything to fix it. So the new name for our truck is “Clunker”.
Larry and Denise came over to play cards this evening and Larry and I won the
game of Hand, Knee, and Foot. We also played a game of Phase Ten which Cheri
won. All in All it was a good God made for us.

Another busy day.
Cheri busy with Thursday laundry and housework. She also made a trip to the
post office to mail a birthday card to Brooke. She didn’t know how much postage
it would be to send to Mexico. I don’t remember what she said cost but know it
was over a dollar. I left at 8:45 am for work. Today I installed six can lights
in a kitchen and removed the fluorescent lights. Things went well until I went
to install the cans and realized I brought the wrong ones. So I had to take
time to make a trip to Lowe’s for the right ones, really disappointed in myself
for the mistake. I finished at 3:45 pm and made a stop at Larry and Denise’s to
see if he got the ceiling panels, still no panels. So it was near 5:00 pm when
I got home. Cheri had made a crockpot of chili which really hit the spot. I
still haven’t heard anything more on the truck.

Cheri was busy getting all
the Christmas decorations down. I got the Christmas containers down so she
could get things packed away for another year. The only thing we have left to
do is remove the outdoor Christmas lights and I usually wait until after the New
Year. So now Cheri has all different home decorations set out. I did work
outside in the shed and my new storage area moving things around and still not
sure if I got things the way I want them, time will tell. I also went to Lowes
to get a new fan remote transmitter and receiver for a client I am doing work
for. While I was out I stopped by Harbor Freight, was looking for a pocket electric
tester so I wouldn’t have to get the meter out all the time, no luck on that. I
also took the car through the car wash. After a late lunch we headed to the
Tampa airport to pick up Jan who was arriving at 3:15 pm. Well her plane was
late and took a while for them to get a wheel chair and someone to push her to
the baggage claim. Long story it was near 6:00 pm when we got back home. I also
got a call on the truck and it may be done tomorrow. Thank you God for guiding
us through another day.

Our day planning turned
out to be a little different than I thought it was going to be. I had planned
on going out and clean up Bob’s truck this morning. But being on the cold side
with a little wind we decided to do our shopping first. Our first stop was Hobby
Lobby to check on a Christmas tree but there wasn’t anything that Cheri wanted.
Our next stop was Lowe’s so I could get the materials I need for my electrical
job Thursday. Then it was on to Wal-Mart to get groceries and a new coffee pot.
On the way home I filled the car with gas and got a couple of lottery tickets.
After lunch we decide to go shopping for a new king size mattress for the new sleigh
bed that we had ordered. We had five places we were going to check on and the
first place was Famous Tate’s where we check out the Black Beauty Rest series
Simmons (an early Christmas present for next year). We had heard some good reports on them and after checking everything
they had we decided to get the Black Beauty Rest along with the adjustable bed
frame. It was around 4:00 pm when we got home. I went out and cleaned up Bob’s
truck and got some of the things I need for Thursday ready to go. When I came
in the house Cheri was busy putting away Christmas decorations. Dinner was a
bowl of soup as Cheri had fixed us a pizza roll for lunch and wasn’t that
hungry this evening. Although we did have some of Nikki’s Christmas candy that
she sent us while watching TV. We were ready for bed early as we were tied and
stressed out from buying the bed.
