Well Thursday was another total work day outside in the cool breezy day but with plenty of sunshine and blue skies. I never would have thought we would get temps down into the upper 40's this time of the year but they were last evening and never got warmer than a low 70's. The stiff breeze made it feel even cooler, oh well. I never broke a sweat all day while painting the house which was unusual for me.
I started the day with my well before 5:30 rollout to my routines that begin with some quiet time to honor my lord, Jesus, give thanks for another day and to lift up several by name for comfort and healing, all seem to be holding although I read where a old fellow trooper associate I had known had passed away unexpectedly over night. After a breakfast of avocado toast and a garden ripe tomato I headed out to work on painting the walls on the house with a roller.
I had finished all the walls as Nancy got back from her morning Bible study class at S.R.B.C. and we had a lite lunch and then I headed out to give the window sills a base coat and then the back door from the kitchen a base coat. I still have three area's below the peaks of the house to paint, but I promised Nancy I would only use the high ladder when she was home, so I'll do that this morning and then will basically have the house painted accept for a second coat on the sills and doors. I have a few touch ups as the stucco showed some areas that are not covered completely and old light colored paint is visible, but barely and I have an extra gallon of the blue paint to use as well. I worked outside until nearly 4'ish before calling it a day.
After a supper of pork chop and sweet tater I headed out to my mens Bible class at 6:30 so I picked up neighbor Dan and we headed out and while we had a good group it was more a class of some old men telling their stories instead any study which made it tough to hear them talk despite me wearing hearing aids, oh well. I was glad when the class leader mentioned it was after 8 and we could head out. The air was quite chilled with temps down into the 50's already for the evening. I soon hit the shower and was resting while watching some ALONE on the TV and then lights out at 10 for me, not sure what time Nancy came to bed as I was whupped. On a sad note I got word the flag football team Ava Mae plays on for Keswick School lost in the last 10 seconds of the game in the Tampa area, LATER
