Monday Morning

Well Sunday was spirit filled morning at Bridgepoint Church as we heard a great message as well as some awesome worship music. I sure hope you took the time to honor, give thanks and show some love for others because that is what GOD is all about; love in the form of Jesus. We were one short of our usual 6 persons in the Cool Peoples Club as Carol was suffering from a migraine. After the service we stopped at Texas Longhorn Steak House which was on our route. This was our first trip there and we were pleasantly surprised with the quality of the lunch as well as at a decent price.

Nancy took off rug shopping while I washed and then painted the baseboards throughout the house. Needless to say that is a back breaking and knee bending job but I gotter done in just a couple of hours. The furniture moves so easily now on the vinyl flooring which makes that job so much more easy as well. I want to prime the doors and then paint them today(Mon.) as well as pick up some moulding and prime it while getting ready to finish off the two bedrooms. This kitchen redo has turned into nearly a total house redo and I do like the results. The flooring has really made a great difference as well.

I want to spray paint the two large lamps in our bedroom and change the color of the bases and I see where you can even spray paint the shades. I'll give it a try and maybe save a few bucks. The results I've seen on the internet look very nice with that project. I have noticed the house seems much cooler without the carpet which is a plus on the a/c bill and with the new led lights that should help even more on the electric bill, Yea. I did speak with Paw Paw around 5 ish and he sounded in good spirits. Josie and Wayne were visiting and she heard the phone ringing so I was able to converse for a few minutes with him. The doctors are wanting to build up his strength before any decision is made on the hip replacement as that infection he had for so long as eaten away the bones in that area. They must consider his age and if it takes place it will be at Walter Reed in D.C.

Well we skipped any supper except for hand full of nuts as the large lunch held me. I did hand water the garden just before dark and noticed several more egg plants starting to form. We love them fried. The okra never made as did the cucumbers. There is one still hanging on the vine but the vines are nearly dried up despite the daily watering. I'm starting to get the teardrop tomatoes ripening and they are so good in salads. The half runners are blooming again and we should have plenty to give away. I transplanted from seeds several packs of lettuces as our first crop is about used up except for a couple of romaine heads. It has been a bumper crop on the salad making lettuces as well as the kale.

That was about it for the day as I starting a new book and finished THE OUTSIDER by Frederick Forsyth. It's memoir of his life and he was a very interesting person of intrigue. A great must read and if you like adventure and some of the most harrowing experiences you will love reading his memoir. It wasn't long after a hot shower and few chapters into the book THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN that I was ready for some horizontal lab, LATER
