Month: August 2013 (Page 2 of 2)

Here it is Friday already and I don’t have much new to report.

My weight was down by a pound earlier this week.

My new running shoes arrived today and they are great – so light, yet great support.

We finished the roof over the dining room where we are living – we’d almost finished it a couple years ago, then when it leaked in a heavy rain the other day, we thought we’d better see what else needed doing. And we did that last night, so it is buttoned up now and we should stay dry.

Tomorrow is a pancake breakfast at the senior center and the fly-in fundraiser for the Garage and other charities is Sunday, so it should be a full weekend.

I hope you all have a great weekend and I look forward to seeing you all in 13 days!

We almost have the exterior of 117 done. Yesterday we finished up most of the siding. We had to side again where we’d added a bigger door, where we’d added the overhang on the roof and where we’d taken out a window in the laundry room.  It took a while, but almost done. We still have to do the soffit on one part of the roof we updated and finish about half the shingling on the small section over the laundry room.

And a picture of my handsome dog!

I just got back from a 10 mile bike ride that I did in 45 minutes and I started out intending to have a nice leisurely ride. 4 1/2 minutes a mile is good for me.

A man that eats at the Center every day, who used to be the choir directer in Chetek years ago came into my office today and said he wanted to make a donation to the senior citizens for $5,000.  And had me write out the check and he signed it.

Then he asked if I would write out the check (also for $5,000) for the youth center.

Made my day, that’s for sure!

First pictures of the scrapbook I made for Carole Morgan, who is moving to Indiana. Then some pictures of flowers (of course) from my backyard. I learned how to crop and adjust the elements of the picture. Pretty nice, huh? I absolutely love this first one!
