Cathy didn't seem in a hurry to get anywhere so she stayed and helped out for a few hours...got everything out of the basement den, this morning I've just got to vacuum and dust and it's back into shape...

Was getting mighty hungry as I hadn't eaten anything since Friday at noon...had got a call from Ross and Bernie saying they'd be back to finish their project tomorrow if weather co-operates but only if I'd have all the trim bought and painted..well Friday night I did go purchase trim, but then Mike and Darlene thought the back door into woodworking area/laundry room should have new trim and door painted so told Cathy if she wasn't doing anything we'd go into Midland and I'd pick up the Barrel and the works, more trim, do banking..so off we went..I dropped her off at the $$ store and Home Depot I went...those trees they had for $15.99, so wanted some but no room and no time..maybe this week Greg can bring his truck and I'll pick some up..

Within the hour we were home...actually made a plate and sat near the pond, sun shinning, just so relaxing, I was fighting falling asleep knowing I still had 1/2 day of work ahead of me...

Told Cathy I was sorry I couldn't visit with her because if I sat but 2 more minutes I'd be done for the day..now the trim, put 2 of the Adirondak chairs together, covered them and I was ready to paint..you could hear the storm moving closer...I no sooner finished painting the last piece the downpour, thunder and lightening, thank goodness I hadn't taken the plastic off the back deck..wouldn't take long in this heat to dry..

Back in and started to organize and purge..of course you have to look at each item, put it down, pick it up, decisions, decisions...still one I must decide on..I have an entire box of oil paints..heavy suckers..because I now use the new heat set Genesis I'll never use them .. so garbage they go..now wait a minute, I've got a knitting machine, t.v./radio waiting to be put into my trunk, might as well include the paints for Value Village..an artist might want them...

Upstairs/downstairs/outside/inside...by early evening I could feel the muscles in my legs starting to cramp so I called it a night...

This morning I can feel that if I moved the wrong way I'd be having a charlie horse..so I'll move more slowly and take a few minutes to rest now and then..

On my 'to-do' today, I won't list it as you'd not believe one could accomplish that much work..but I'm going to try..

Although they said it would be a sunshine weekend, it's raining out, maybe it will clear so I might as well try and get everything done I can do inside just incase I can get to spend an hour or so outside...

I do hope you are all enjoying this summer like weather..that you are doing exactly what you want to do today...

Talk to you on my next break..hey, do I get a break?
Best I do..
