April 16, 2015

Looks like another great day here…I finished my Longest Day audio book… what a great book ..Nicolas Sparks doesn’t disappoint!

Dan said he had the best night sleep…he has to use pain patches at night… they help but don’t take it away completely …so was happy to hear he had a good night…must be the peacefulness of White Birch Rd…

Steve started the furnace so he and Dan could do a diagnosis on it… and before Dan left he asked him to help him measure the length from the water line in the Ravine to our house location…it was 137’…we have to be at least 100’ to the building…so we are good.

They hooked up Dan’s trailer and he was off… can’t thank him enough for all his help..  he wanted to get home to paint the deck of his lawnmower.

I got out the yogurt maker and started the milk to boil.   Steve loves his yogurt!             

I started reading a book and it being over cast and a bit chilly was happy sitting inside reading.

Steve drove things over to the shed so I walked over to see if I could help…he was rearranging things to fit the mower and wagon in… I saw the wheel was back on my bike…they had removed it when it was loaded in Dan’s truck.  I took it out to see how it fared on gravel…the tires were low but it was great!

Steve had asked earlier if I wanted to go to the beach but thought it was just too cold.. but after being outside it had warmed up…so after he was finished we left for the Marina beach.

There were a lot of trucks with boat trailers…must have been a fishing day!

I took out the metal detector and put on my pouch with the shovel and my pin pointer.  It was abust… kept getting hits but didn’t find anything… until we were leaving and I tried one more hit…and found a nail and then a  cool pipe… I brought it to the van to show steve…thought it was  solid but started brushing it off and it was filled with sand…cleaned it out… looked pretty cool…

Stopped at the Store for chops to make for supper….

We got home and sat outside…I just started the grill then got a text from patty …she was going to the Southshore bar for Mexican night… that would have been fun …but just a minute too late…next time.

Got a text from her and she said Beth had been there…

The pork chops were great..I cut up potatoes and carrots and put in foil on the grill…what a great supper.

I was inside getting my tea and here Beth came up the drive… she had gone home but Rocky wasn’t home from work yet. He had the dogs with him so it was lonesome around there so she decided to come over.

I gave her a chop and no potatoes for her but she was happy with that.

She had a rough day that is why she stopped for a cocktail at the southshore… Patty said “mums the word I won’t tell your mom

You were here”  funny…so she text as soon as she left… she is 31… ha..she text me later saying she wasn’t supposed to tell me.. beth told me to tell her she wasn’t mad but  she does get even! 

She was doing service work today and so frustrated, she couldn’t get the the wire in the last bend of the conduit… she just wasn’t strong enough..so will have Rocky come and do it for her.

Steve went to bed and left us to visit… it was a nice evening…she left around 10… Rocky had called earlier to see where she was..

Tomorrow she works in Corny finishing a job at Ehler’s store..
