postheadericon Gay Sept-29-19


Grandma went to church with us today. Pastor Randy’s message was “The Power of Prayer” from James 5:16-18. Our Sunday school lesson was “Revealed” from Ephesians 3:1-13. We were home by 1:00 pm. I napped through a couple of shows before the NASCAR race started. Than Cheri napped while I watched the race. The people that live behind us have a lot of dogs and they got through the fence and was running round in our park this morning. Well this afternoon they got out again. When I look over the fence I can count eight dogs and there is also some puppies. It has been a problem with them barking day and night. I hate to say anything being afraid they might retaliate in some way. Our neighbor said that he was going to file a complaint with Pasco County. We had our usual Sunday evening pizza while watching more TV. Thank you God for a blessed day to be in church and Sunday school to learn more of your word.

It must be Saturday because Cheri and I went to the Hole in One donut shop this morning at 7:00 am. When we got home I went to work cutting the Corian vanity top. I hadn’t cut any Corian before and was surprised how easy it was to cut. While I was doing the cutting Cheri when to the grocery store to get Grandma’s groceries, had a hard time finding the things they wanted. She was really tired when she got home and was done for the day. I cleaned out all the tools from the truck and need to go through them and get them in the right containers. I made a trip to Lowe’s to get some additional screws as the supply I carry in the truck was low. Also planned on buying the wainscoting and materials for a customer in Tampa Bay country but Lowe’s didn’t have everything I needed. Later in the afternoon Cheri and I went back to Lowe’s to buy potted mums and got five large pots of them to replace the old ones we had. After getting them set out I made a trip to Home Depot where I was able to get the wainscoting and materials. I also went to see a couple here in our park that wants me to remove a garden tub and install a shower module. Had talked to them before and told them I would see what I could fine to replace the tub. After talking and telling them what I could do they said they wanted me to do the work. It will be two weeks before I can do it. It was 4:00 pm when I got done with everything. Time to take a shower and get cleaned up. I settled in to watch the Badger football game that I recorded. They did win but I don’t think they played as good as the last couple of games. We had soup for supper along with a grilled ham and cheese sandwich. We watched a couple more new shows that seem to be pretty good. Thank you God for a bless day.

I didn’t have any appointments for work today so Cheri and I went out for breakfast at the Village Inn. We had a good breakfast and then stopped at the bank on the way home. Cheri is still very low on energy and needs to rest more. She did do the dusting today. I worked outside cleaning up the reclaimed lumber from the patio project. I got all the nails pulled and the lumber put away. I took a load of scrap lumber out to Ron and Sandy’s to burn in their burn pit. Ron and I visited a while and checked out their bedroom where I will be installing a new lament floor. It was 3:30 pm when I got home and was ready to be done for the day. We had leftover roast beef, potatoes, and carrots for supper and then carrot cake for dessert. We watched several of our favorite shows and one new show “Stump Town” which was very good. One other one we watched was “Bluff City Law” which I think will be a lot like Suits. Thank you God for guiding us through another day and blessed us with so much.

Cheri was busy doing laundry when I left for my 9:00 am appointment at the same place I was working on Tuesday. They had many different projects they wanted done. The biggest one was removing the old caulking and some of the grout in their shower and install new caulking. I also screwed down some loose patio boards, removed some baseboard, hung a shelf, filled the water softener, put a bed frame together, and measured up for the installation of some wainscoting for the bedroom. On the way home I stopped to see a couple I have done a lot of work for. They just lose their daughter to congestive heart failure. It was near 5:00 pm when I got home. The people came and power washed the house this afternoon. It’s all clean and shiny. I used to do the power washing myself and would take me three days to do it as it really hurt my back doing it. Cheri had a haircut this afternoon and then fixed a pot roast with carrots, onions, and potatoes in the new Instant pot for supper. We had carrot cake Cheri made for dessert while watching TV. We watched some of the new fall shows. I did watch the Green Bay Packers football game that they lost. Thank you God for a blessed day.

I didn’t have to be anywhere this morning for work so stayed in bed until 6:00 am and still tired. The first thing I did this morning was take the truck through the car wash, had big collection of love bugs all over the front. Dick and Linda picked us up at 10:30 am to go to Lakeland and to get the Sunday school kitchen back splash tiles. Dick and Linda donated the money to pay for them. On the way home we stopped at Olive Garden to have lunch. It was very good and had a nice visit with Dick and Linda. When we got home Cheri headed for her recliner as she didn’t have a good night sleeping. She doesn’t have much energy and needs to get her strength built back up. I went outside to remove nails from the patio frame I took down yesterday. I will be able to reclaim some of the two by fours to reuse on other projects. I only lasted an hour as it was just too hot for me and only got half done. I showered and got cleaned up and then joined Cheri to watch some TV but ended up taking a long nap. We didn’t have any supper as we had a big lunch so it was a few snacks along with an evening of TV. Enjoyed watching the new fall shows. Thank you God for time with friends and your blessing today.
