The Upstairs Room Now all have Doors on Them!

Today was another beautiful day, I could tell as soon as I got up that it would be a good day. I did not cough nearly as much as I had bee and my throat was not as congested as it has been the last month or so.

This morning after eating breakfast and reading the newspaper I loaded up the dishwasher and started it up; then I went outside and edged around all the gardens in the back yard. Since I did the vegetable garden yesterday the rest of the gardens were looking rather neglected.

Stan Arrived as I was finishing up so I went and helped him unload his tools and set up his saws. While he was doing some measuring I decided that I would mow the front lawn. I wanted to get that done before the temperatures got into the nineties so that I would not have to do it then; I might wind up doing it anyway, but at least I will not have to do it.

After I finished mowing, putting the mower away and cleaning up I helped Stan install the door to Kathleen's computer/sewing room and then our bedroom. Stan had taken the door off earlier this morning so it was just a matter of shimming up the new door and making sure that it was plumb and would not swing either open or closing the door.

When we finished that I made myself a sandwich and had some of the left over macaroni salad from yesterday. Stan said that we needed to pick out our molding; both for the doors and around the baseboard so Kathleen and I took off. Before going to Mr. Plywood we stopped off at Fred Meyer to pick up a couple prescriptions and a few other things. Then Kathleen needed to stop off at Montivilla Sewing Center to pick up something and she also wanted to see if an old Singer sewing machine was worth fixing up or not.

Once we finished there it was off to Mr. Plywood where we spent the next couple hours looking at molding. I got tired so I sat down on some steps and rested until I got sore from sitting and needed to walk around a little. Kathleen could not make up her mind so we had a foot cut off several pieces of molding to take home so that we could see how each one would look in real life.

While we were gone Stan had taken out the broken stair and replaced it with a new one that he bought the other day. The new one looks so good now we are thinking about replacing all of them now.

I finally got hungry and since Kathleen did not seem interested I made my own supper. I had a Morningstar sun dried tomato and basil veggie burger with some macaroni salad and sauerkraut. These are things that I usually eat alone as Kathleen is not that fond of them.
