Well Tuesday was another total work day except for an hour or so in the morning when I managed a good work out on the pickle ball court. Afterwards it was a total work day until lunch and then afterwards it was once again painting and getting the bedrooms ready for new flooring. It also was a record breaking day for temps and humidity. We also had our usual lunch crowd with GG, Amy and Eliza Faye.
I started the day with a before 6 roll out. I had my usual cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric while I posted this ramble and then spent some quiet moments with my Creator in thanksgiving and lifting up those who are hurting. I did speak with Paw Paw and he seemed in good spirits for what he is going through. He has been walking again and putting some weight on that leg and hip as he awaits the VA decision. If he is given a hip replacement we will probably be heading to Va. to see him in the near future. We will cross that bridge when the time comes. I got ready and headed out on my bike to the Rec. where I had a great workout and left around 9:30 with a wet shirt.
Nancy was at the hair dressers so I started on the other bedroom taking out the carpet in pieces as well as the padding and tack strips. That required moving the bed and furniture around as well as emptying the closet of baby toys, furniture etc. Amy seems to have stored most of her new baby stuff in our closet. After lunch I painted all of the baseboards which is a killer on the knees and then the inside of the closets as well as removed the doors. Later we went through all of the hanging clothes and got rid of some we never wear or have out grown. It was a full time job deciding what we could wear or what we would wear. The local church clothes closet got a nice assortment of some pieces for those who could use them.
We had leftover collards and kielbasa for our supper. I did manage to hand water the the new lettuce seedlings and they seem to be doing fine in this heat. We are expecting another hot, muggy day before the temps get back to normal with some chance for some rain later in the week. We settled into the Fox News and were really interested in what our new President Trump had to say as he addressed both houses of the congress. Well that was one of the finest speeches ever as he addressed our national needs and let the world know we would no longer be a globalist except for the fight to eradicate the radical Islamic terrorists who kill, rape and destroy indiscriminately, but especially Christians and Jews. He also made it know we would stand by our friend Israel to the end. His speech reached out to all Americans to make our nation once more safe and secure with opportunities to succeed for all who come here to honor our values and respect our laws. He wants to revive the corporations who manufacture and offer jobs for those citizens who seek a better life for their families. He wants respect for our law enforcement families as well as the military and most of all to honor our veterans. Those who come here illegally and bring crime with them are no longer welcome as are the cities that give them sanctuary.
This speech was no doubt GREAT to say the least and if those who are on the other side of the aisle will make an attempt to fulfill their elected duties we can achieve much for the nations folks and restore our nation that our founding father visioned. We must do away with the influence of the special interests and the corruption associated with "play for pay" and once again give a vision for all who work hard and play by the rules. I see this man as becoming one of the great presidents in our history with a vision that puts us once again as the shining city on a hill for those who want freedom, liberty and the chance to make the best life for their families and to make America Great Again as we were all created by the same GOD, LATER
