Tamer Thursday

This morning was much different than yesterday, there was not continual threat of rain and the wind was rather calm. I had a good walk and when I got back I needed to clean up change my clothes and meet the guys for breakfast.

We had a good breakfast and a long conversation afterwards and I finally got back home about 1100. After changing clothes, I read the mail and then the paper.

Kathleen left shortly after I got back to go to Montivilla Sewing Center to exchange the hoops and feet from her old machine for ones that will fit her new machine. While she was out she also stopped at Target and bought a couple tee shirts that she wears all the time.

While she was gone the contractor who is going to redo our floors and walls in the bathrooms and a couple other projects called to let us know that he was back from his hunting trip and wanted to come over to go over what we wanted.

It was a good thing because we decided to do the upstairs bathroom first and then the downstairs bathroom. We also figured out a couple other jobs that we wanted him to do. I could probably have done them myself at one point in time, but I did not have the time to do it then. Now I have the time, but not the energy.

I told him that Kathleen had just left and to try back in a while. Then I went outside, raked the front lawn, mowed it and then put down Scott's Turf Builder winterizer with weed control to try to get a better root base for next year and also to deter the weeds.

After finishing the front lawn I drug out the Honda and put the grass catcher on and raked and mowed the back lawn at the same time. After I finished mowing I dug up some tree suckers and pruned the roses. Just as I was finishing up Kathleen drove in and before she got into the house the contractor called back and said that he could come over in about a half an hour.

So I went into the house cleaned up and made myself a veggie burger on toast with a slice of onion and some melted cheese. Just as I was finishing cleaning up, the contractor drove up and we spent an hour and a half going over what we had in mind.

Tonight for dinner Kathleen fried up some hamburger meat added the left over wild rice and a can of stewed tomatoes and some hot spices to give it a really good flavor. We are both really tired...so what else is new, and I am sure that I will have an early to bed night, so I think I am just going to say good night now and call it a day.
