Well its 10 days until departure morning and I'm thrilled as the heat and humidity is back with vengeance. Just walking outside after the early morning hours your dripping in sweat and its getting worst daily. I skipped pickle ball at the Rec on Wednesday and finished cleaning out the grasses in the front planter around 7:30 and I was soaked with sweat and then again in the afternoon unloading some purchases from Lowes into the garage and my shirt was soaked with sweat, oh well. Its time for the mountains and cooler drier temps.
I had started the day with my usual routines that start will a well before 5:30 rollout to some quiet times to honor my lord, JESUS, give thanks for another day and to lift several up by name for comfort and healing. Eddie is on a ventilator which isn't good and Helen seems to be holding in her new assistance living place. The rest seem to be holding as of this post. Nancy is now having knee issues which isn't good but at least she can function enough hopefully to pack for the trip to the cabin.
I worked around the house in the planter, then did some weed whacking as well as used the sprayer to kill some unwanted grasses and weeds along the fence line. I've just about finished with the outside except for a couple areas which won't take long to rotor till before finishing up the gardens until fall. I'm still getting a couple tomato's and still have a few green ones on two plants as well as a couple egg plants and of course the carrots need harvesting. Everything else is just about done except for mowing the burnt up grass one last time before leaving.
We purchased two vanities, 2 shower doors, light fixtures, towel bars and a mirror as well as two commodes and 30@ 8 foot pieces of ship lap for over 3 grand for the remodels of two bathrooms while we are gone these next 5 months. I have to keep the truck outside as these items are now stored in the garage plus I now need to take the new truck up and have it checked out for a small clicking noise that occurs in the gear shift selector, oh well.
We headed out to SRBC at 6:30 for our last 242 meeting as the church goes on a summer schedule which is the last one for us for 5 months. We will miss all the folks here and will rejoice at seeing our church family at Cornerstone in Sparta. We watched the final innings of the Ray's game as they lost after winning 5 in a row to the White Sox. After a hot shower and some ROKU it was lights out at 10 with a some what sleepless night as I have lots on my mind with getting things done before we leave in 10 days, LATER
