Awake 5:50 am Temp Downtown=50 Cloudy 19 hrs & 20 min daylight
Today we continue our casual " clean up the little things " repair work.
I begin by epoxying that broken knob on our Instant Hot Water unit on the
kitchen sink. The unit itself works fine, it's the plastic on the knob
that has weaken & slips on the shaft. I have searched casually for this
part for over 2 yrs to no avail....even on the internet they advise that
the part is no longer available.
Kathy is cleaning, sanding & varnishing a wooden cup holder for the
Melissa/Nick bedroom. This too, was another item we just couldn't fine in
our local area so she's refinishing the original.
After my short epoxy job, I venture outside with the Cherry Picker to
finish painting all the West side 2nd story window & door frames. Now I am
excited & all charged up. It's cloudy but the sun is getting ready to
break through and I want to finish this project before it gets too warm. I
just get started when the door bell rings: Melissa surprises us with a
visit with our grandson Matthew in tow. His BIG eyes & infectious smile
are overpowering...I feel like I am on a roll again with this painting
project & don't want to stop...but I don't want to miss their visiting
time either. After about 30 min of painting another window frame, my
heart ovrwhelms my charged up work ethic...I lay down the brush & enjoy
some relaxing moments with Matthew & Melissa before they have to leave.
Then it's back to work @ 2:00 pm. Kathy gets serious with the grass & moss
that lives in & around the concrete board separations on our sidewalk @
around the house's concrete foundation. It's very time consumming & tough
work but it looks so good when she's finished.
We quit @ 6:30 pm. 8:30 Dinner: Lamb chops with baked potato, cucumber
slices with mozzarella cheese & fresh salad. Some late evening reading.
Lights out: 11:49 am.
