Saturday is a special day 9/12

 


We wanted to go to the gym first thing this morning and got there around 7:30 I think. Ginger had told me the most important thing for women over 50 is strength training, so after doing the elliptical, I worked muscles on various machines. I tried to do the hardest setting I could and enjoyed working out. I’m sore from Yoga yesterday, so it felt good (as in it hurt) to work those sore muscles.

After the gym, Tom wanted to go check the church to see if enough people showed up to help clean. There were lots of cars in the parking lot, so we didn’t even stop.

When we got home, Tom changed clothes and took off to help at Tanya’s rental. He worked there until 4:30pm!  I did normal home stuff and stayed busy.

We had invited Christian over for dinner and decided to have pizza because Little Caesar's was having a sale. It was really good. We haven't had pizza for a very long time.

Tanya texted to see if she could come over. I haven’t seen her for a week, so I was happy to have her come. We mostly talked during commercials while watching a couple of episodes of Ransom. Later that night I was seeing problems with the plots of the ones we watched, but I think I was confusing the different episodes so things didn’t make sense.

We watched Come Follow Me podcasts before bed. Christian left just before the podcast ended. He is very quiet and we hardly know he’s here when he comes over, but there were times during Ransom that he gave his opinions on what was going on. We don’t see him, but he is listening and participates when there is something interesting.

It’s been hot all week, but it cools off too much at night to have the water warm enough for us to swim. Sadness. But it was fun to have Tanya come over.

The recital 10/8

Image
We had scheduled to help clean the Church this morning, and planned to go get Tom’s Prague watercolor painting framed after that. But last night our darling little 6-year-old neighbor came over to give us a hand-written and colored in crayon invitation and a “ticket” for their recital this morning at 9am. The ticket was on a piece of paper that had been torn off. So cute! We definitely could not miss this! There are 2 kids, maybe 6 and 8 or so. The girl was going to play the piano, and the boy was going to sing – The Muffin Man. They had also invited our neighbors who are about our age. I think the 4 of us are like grandparents for the kids.  Their whole family is so cute. We love them. But first we needed to clean the church. We went early in case we could start a little earlier than 8am, but the leaders didn’t show up until 10 minutes late. We warned them that we had to leave by 8:30 but that we would help get it as good as we could in 20 minutes. So we cleaned the chapel, va...

Blatant Blessings 2

This month someone stole our extension ladder. Ok, it was in the back yard, fully visible, but it is the first time anything has been stolen from our yard. I guess we'll have to start putting things away. A while back my favorite camera died. I looked into getting it fixed, but it was over 3 years old, so I doubt it is worth it. Tom bought me a new camera for Christmas, but he bought me the camera he always wanted, and now he's carrying it with him for work. The ride-on lawnmower died. Tom looked at it and took it apart and found it needed a new pully. We've started having problems with the internet losing connection over and over. I finally gave up and called AT&T (a thing I try to avoid at all costs) and they told me I need a new modem. Mine was over a year old and suddenly became defective. You can't just go buy one either, you have to order it and wait for it to come in the mail. More money means it comes sooner; less money means you wait longer with unreliable ...

Tom’s Garden 6/12

Image
Tom doesn’t just like maintaining the yard – what he loves is creating lovely areas. He has worked for weeks on the area along the back of the house going to the garage. Today he finished getting sprinklers to all the pots. It’s really pretty along there now, except for all the junk on the other side of the sidewalk, but we won’t talk about that. He loves to have his vegetable garden, and likes putting flowers among the vegetables. He hopes to have lots of string beans, beets, cabbage, tomatoes, and cantaloupe this summer.         Tanya came over after her massage and we showed her Enola that we watched last night. It was just as good the 2 nd time and fun to watch with Tanya, who enjoyed all the funny parts, too.   We installed the new kitchen lights that we bought on Thursday. We replaced the ceiling fan first and had nothing but problems with it. The box that the fixture connects to was loose in the ceiling and we tried 4 or 5 different things...
