Well Tuesday was a most busy day and one we will not forget in awhile as we finally received our new living room furniture and Nancy was ecstatic despite the postponement of the delivery time from 2 to almost 7 PM. I also helped with the WOW tech who came to rewire my house for the internet/TV as the initial installer used my original wiring which according to another tech was a no no.
I started the day with my usual before 6 ish roll out to a cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric while I posted this ramble and spent a few quiet moments with my Creator. There were several names who needed some extra special lifting up as they were facing surgery and one of my elementary school mates had passed away up in Winchester. The update on GG, Paw Paw, Joe and Helen were all good. It seems winter has finally broken to where the temps are starting to get back to normal for this time of the year.
I headed out on my bike a little before 8 for the Rec. for nearly two hours of pickle ball and had a wet shirt and worn out legs by 10. I headed home and hand watered the gardens then decided to get a head start on the WOW tech incase he had to replace the lines inside the attic(which eventually we did not). I moved Christmas boxes and stuff stored up there I hadn't seen in 20-30 years out of the way and eventually filled 4 trash cans of "stuff" that even the plastic bags had fallen apart they had been up there that long. I did find some treasures one of which were our kids children's books in a nice container so we gave them to Amy for Eliza. I found a starter golf bag I had purchased in California with clubs that looked antique and put them out by the road for someone to take but no one even wanted them they were so old.
The tech came just with in the time frame given but on the late end around noon. I found him to be very personable so with my help he installed a new continuous wire from the modem around the roof line of the house to the line which comes in from the pole into a box. So far it seems to be working thankfully. He was a nice young black man and father of two and he made a comment about my garden and I offered him some collard greens and he was thrilled along with a new recipe for cooking them using chicken broth. He had never heard of that but was thrilled with this new method. He mentioned his momma would be interested with preparing the greens using my recipe.
After he left which was around the time frame the furniture was supposed to arrive but we received a call they would be at least two hours later so I made reservations at the Hilton Inn in Auburn Hills, Michigan for the August wedding of our nephew Gregory Everett. We wanted to visit GG in the summer in Pinkney, Michigan and decided to take care of both events in one trip from the cabin. Neighbor Dan came down with his truck around 6'ish and we loaded up our love seat on his truck and then neighbor John came over and helped us load the couch onto our truck which was a job. It has two reclining seats which added extra weight. I took off the legs and we still just managed to turn this piece upside down and get it out the door as it was that heavy. We then took it over to Amy's and had to get it in their door. Thankfully a young strong neighbor came and gave us a hand to get it in. We took their old love seat to be used for the non-profit foundation ETC to a house on the beach and unloaded it.
Well we got back to our house and Dan and Carol came down and came us some pointers and loved the new digs. We moved hanging curtains and pictures around to better bring out the colors. It's another redo in the house it seems as we now need new lamps, etc. reminds me of the "red trash can" story that nothing matches. I told Nancy this was the last time we buy new furniture at my age, oh well. It is very beautiful and almost cottage like as our living room is small. I should be so lucky she doesn't want a new and bigger house but then why would we need a new and bigger house as we are at the cabin nearly 5 months out of the year.
My garden is doing so well with this weather. I need to harvest sugar pea pods for our salads and the new lettuces are doing great as well as are the green beans. I now have beets up from seeds in a pot as we are eating ours we brought back from the cabin. They are tricky to transplant when just small seedlings but hopefully I can managed as I bought some different potting soil. The sweet onions are huge with the green tops two feet tall. I loosened the soil around them so they could bulb out and give us those sweet delicious onions.
Well after a hot shower I watched a little of the Olympics while catching the news on the Fox channel and the corruption within the Obama administration deepens as they were sure Hillary would win the election. It seems all of the dem's were so sure of her victory and their crooked ways would never be found out but now its coming to light of the corruption within the whole party which had in place at the heads of the FBI and the DOJ. The nation is in turmoil in D.C. with this "deep state" ideology and its coming to light and we the American people had better wake up to who we vote for and to get term limits. We need honorable elected officials as well as patriots who will decide to put away their biases and do what has made America great in the past and honor this POTUS. We are on the edge of a revolution and we need to make sure no one is above the law and that means the Clintons and Obama sycophants, LATER
