I made a quick stop at
Lowe’s this morning on my way to Tampa Bay country for some additional crout as
I wasn’t sure if I had enough for the tile project. I had a very good day as
things went really well. I thought all I would get done was the crouting but it
dried quickly and was able to put down the door transition strip and the
baseboard. After all the caulking I replaced the toilet and the project was
done. I was very happy with the results as it looks really nice. I took a
picture that I will post but didn’t come out very good because of the light
from the window. Cheri was busy with laundry and grocery shopping. She had to
make two stops, one at Wal-Mart and the other at Publix’s to find what she
wanted. She also had time to spend in her sewing room. On the way home I had to
stop at Kathy’s dads house to turn on the water as Mike is having it power
washed tomorrow. Cheri made New England clam chowder for supper. We also got
more rain today, checked the gauge and received another inch. Thank you God for
a very productive day.

Cheri had her house work
caught up so she could spend the day in her sewing room. I was back to working
on the bathroom floor tiling project. Things went well for me today. I got the
rest of the tile cut. Out of 33 tile only 12 of them didn’t need to be cut.
Long story short all the tile is laid and ready for crout which I plan on doing
tomorrow if the tile mastic has set up. At 4:00 pm the rain came before I got
all my tools loaded in the truck. Needless to say I got pretty wet getting the
rest into the truck. Before I left Tampa Bay country I had a toilet that was
leaking and needed new parts in the tank. After that I headed for home. It
rained so hard that all the ponds in the park where about to overflow and some
of the roads outside the park where under water and all the ditches full. A
little over a mile away it looked like it was only a shower as there wasn’t any
water in the ditches. I got home at 6:00 pm and headed for the shower. Cheri
fixed us breakfast for supper, had an omelet and English muffin with cherry
jam. I checked the rain gauge here and only received a ¼ inch of rain. Thank
you God for a blessed day.

Cheri was busy with
Tuesday house work, spending time in her sewing room, going to the bank, and
doing some shopping for a new bird feeder that was destroyed by the lawn mowing
people. She also went the office in Grandma’s park as Grandma had gotten a
letter from the office that she had to prove that she was over 55 years of age
because she is living in a 55 plus park (I do believe she qualifies). I left at
7:30 am as I needed to make a quick stop at Lowe’s on my way to Tampa Bay
country. My first stop was to change batteries in smoke detectors and then on
to my tiling project. I had a good day but didn’t get as much done as I want
too. Long story short it is going to take an extra day to complete the project.
On the way home I made a stop at Barbra’s as she wanted to talk to me about the
kitchen sink she is planning on buying and wanted to know if the one she wants
was ok. So it was a little past 5:00 pm when I got home. Cheri had supper
waiting for me as I had called her when I was leaving Tampa Bay country. The
hot shower really felt good as I was outside in the heat a lot today cutting
tile. It was another mid 90 degree day and we did get rain today. I checked the
rain gauge and we received another ¼ inch. I was surprised because over where I
was working today I am sure that they got well over two inches. Thank you God
for guiding through another day.

I had a really good day at
work in Tampa Bay country. The project I started on today was to remove a one
inch wide tile strip from a bathroom tub shower and replace it with a different
color of tile. I had done this to the master bath shower before and was a
really hard job getting the old tile out. But today things went really smoothly
as the old tile came out easily. I got the new tile in and is now ready to
grout. Next I remove all the baseboard and molding from the bathroom floor
getting it ready to put down new tile. I also got a call that a party in our
park that had a broken sink drain and wanted to know if I could fix it. I told
them it would be late this afternoon. I arrived at 5:00 pm to check it out. The
wife had dropped an earring in the sink and went down the drain and the husband
took it apart to get the earring and broke the drain. I had to go to Lowe’s for
the parts. Long story short I was done and home by 6:30 pm. I was really dirty
from all the tile dust so I headed for the shower. Cheri spent the day in her
sewing room working on a new quilt project. She also made a ham casserole for
supper. By the time we were done eating and ready for an evening of TV it was already
7:30 pm. No rain here today but this evening I could see it was dark in the
east with lighting. Thank you God for a great day.

Grandma went to church
with us today. Pastor Randy is on vacation so Pastor James (student pastor)
delivered the message today. He is new in our church and this was his first
time delivering the message and was very good. In Sunday school we did the last
lesson in 2 Samuel. Next week we will be in a new study guild doing Galatians.
It was Cheri’s turn to provide brunch for the Sunday school class and was
stressed about it but all went well. This afternoon we met Mike and Pam over at
their new house to see if the rollouts I am building are going to fit. Well it
was a good thing I checked as I forgot to allow for the extra door hinge width
that we didn’t have on our cabinet when I made the rollouts. Now that I have
the final measurements I will build one for each opening and then see if they
fit. This evening we had pizza for supper and watched a couple of movies we had
recorded. Yes we got more rain this evening. I checked the gauge and we
received a little over half inch.
