Sharp's Travels

A little warmer this morning with a temp of 41 degrees for the morning walk. By noon I was able to take off my long sleeve shirt while working outside. I think the temp topped out around 62 degrees. I headed out at 6:45 am to get our breakfast sandwich and cinnamon rolls at the Hole-in-One donut shop. I took the day off from working away from home today. I did finally go out around 10:30 am to do some cleaning in my shop and work space. It has gotten so bad I can’t even walk through. I have a bad habit of not putting things away when I finish a job. Well today was the day to take care of some of the cleanup and putting things back. My heart wasn’t really with it and I quit at 2:00 pm. That this rate it will take a few days to get it done. Cheri continues doing her exercises and she made biscuits so we could have strawberry shortcake this evening. We had the leftovers from the meal we had at Harry’s yesterday. This evening we watched the Rookie, Seal Team, and Gold Rush. Thank you God for a more relaxing day and keeping us healthy and safe from the virus.

Wow! 61 degrees yesterday morning for the walk and this morning it was 37 degrees. It topped out to around 70 degrees today. After Cheri got up I got the bedding into the washer. Cheri finished the laundry and made the bed, something that I had been doing because Cheri wasn’t able to do it. I went to work on the kitchen project. Dennis came a few minutes pass 10:00 to help me put up the wall cabinets. I had everything ready to go so it didn’t take long. After he left I continued putting more screws in the cabinets. Then I brought all the doors and selves over from our place and installed them. After lunch I textured the wall that I had plastered to match the existing wall. By 3:00 pm I was done for the day. After my shower and getting cleaned up Cheri and I headed to Lakeland to have dinner at Harry’s. It was 4:15 pm when we got there and there was already people waiting to get in. glad we called ahead. After dinner we stopped at Home Depot to pick up some trim I needed for the kitchen project. Also a stop at Floor Décor to get an edge piece for the kitchen backsplash which I will be installing after the get the countertops are installed. It was 6:30 pm when we got home. We settled in watching shows we had recorded along with a piece of apple pie for a snack. Thank you God for guiding us through this day.  

The last of the kitchen cabinets have been installed.

It was another warm 61 degrees this morning but a stiff breeze and the temp was falling. We went to the flea market this morning at 8:00 am and the temp was down to 55 degrees. We had the breeze all day and after the sun came out it did get back to the low 60’s. The main reason for the trip to the flea market was to get straw berries. We got a half flat and the price was $15.00 which is the highest we have ever paid. When we got home Cheri did her exercises, finished the laundry I had started, and cleaned strawberries. I worked on the kitchen project and got the panels on the back of the cabinets that you can see from the living room. I brought over the last three wall cabinets to install. I got the leger board up and tomorrow Dennis is going to help me put them up. So I was done early today. Once again after my shower I tried to read some but ended up with an hour nap. Cheri fixed us spaghetti for supper and a bowl of strawberries for dessert. Thank you God for a productive day and keeping us healthy and safe from the virus.    

It 61 degrees this morning for the walk. It was 80 degrees at 4:00 pm when I checked. Cheri was busy with exercises, walking, house cleaning, and make an apple pie. At 10:00 am I went to work on the kitchen project. Got the water faucet installed and working. Installed the cabinet doors and took measurements for panels on the back of the cabinets that show into the living room. After lunch I went to Lowes to get the material to make the panels. When I got home I set up the saw to cut the cabinet panels. By the time I got everything put away it was 4:00 pm. Time for a shower and a nap before supper. Cheri fixed us the leftover potato and kielbasa soup for supper along with a piece of apple pie. We watched Gold Rush, NCIS New Orleans, and a home improvement show before calling it a night. Thank you God for helping us through another day and keeping us healthy and safe.

Base cabinets done.

 The morning temp was a couple degrees colder for the walk but was a very nice day with the temp in the mid 70’s. I left the house at 6:30 am heading to Dade City for my accountability group breakfast and Bible study. We studied the first part of Acts chapter seven. On the way home I made a stop at the bank. Cheri was busy doing her exercises when I got home. I went out and got some of the drain materials I need for the kitchen project and started working on it at 10:00 am. Dennis came at 10:30 am to help me with the garbage disposal. Within five minutes we had it in place. I had worked on it for an hour yesterday trying to get installed by myself. I got the drain line installed, the dishwasher back in place and hooked up, and made temp countertops for the cabinets. I thought I would get the new faucet installed but run out of time. I needed to get showered and cleaned up because we were meeting Dick and Linda at Culvers for supper and then over to their place to see their new kitchen cabinets. We had a nice visit and back home by 8:00 pm. We headed to bed and watched some TV shows in bed. Thank you God for a bless day spending time with you and the accountability group.
