Breezy and cool - 55-60 degrees

Yes, breezy again. Went for a nice bike ride this morning and stopped by WaWa’s for a sausage egg & cheese muffin and a cup of coffee. What a nice treat! Walked 2 miles a

little later.

Got another nice music station on my computer. Pastor Todd gave it to me yesterday. You can make any mixture you want, any artist or station. Go to Google and print in Pandora- its free.

Vaughn and myself are going to California  for supper tonight, maybe Outback! He didn’t go home this week end because he was sick for two days and stayed here this week end to make up for the two days he lost.

Tried to get up with Navy Recreation Area today but no luck. The are supposed to call back, you know how that is!! I will call them again today and tomorrow also.                     

Still have ants and  using the traps. The instructions said it will take a little while. If this doesn’t work real soon I will try what Sherry suggested.

                                                                                                                                   

John, you are the only one that likes my old barn! There are people that wants to take it down for. the lumber and the metal on the roof.

Last couple of nights have been back under the blankets and sheets nights. I could got up and turned the heat up but you know how that is, it’s OK, I will get warm without getting up.

Finally got through to the Navy Rec Center and got a three night stay (Wed thru Sat at 2:30 check out)!! Going to have a ball, me an my bike are going to do some big riding and looking!! Now I can start planning my next stop after I leave the Navy Rec Center. Just checked the weather for that time frame it looks good to gooder!! I am going to hang up my work clothes and get my slickers out, can you imagine??? If you could be a little bird and fly over and check me out!!!! One thing about it, you can’t sneak up on me at the camp site because I am protected by security all around me, so! You can’t get in!! And you can take that to the bank Fred!!

I am leaving for supper.  You have a good night and have a good Sunday. Would you believe tomorrow is the first day of May.

Breezy - Cloudy - 65-70 degrees

Another nice warm day and breezy again. It seems its always breezy here. They say it’s not normally this breezy.

Got the window done in Pastor Todd’s office. He was in the office preparing his sermon for Sunday. He was singing along with the computer. Work the rest of the day down in the foyer putting down more baseboard.

Sara and myself went to WalMart to do some shopping and return the radio. She took me to Solomons Island. What a nice place. I am sure Sherry and Bill have been there. The Navy has a LARGE recreation area there. They have 8 classes of cottages, cabins, apartments, bungalows, yurts, camp sites, pool, beaches, marina, pier, ramps, fishing, crabbing. You are charged by what your rank/grade might be.  I think I might try to get in for a few days. It looks like they might have a long waiting list. I will try calling tomorrow. I think the reservations are done by an open lottery months in advanced.

Very Windy - Cloudy - Raining 70-75 degrees

No walking today or riding my bike – raining

Had a large rain storm. The new roof leaked in four places today. It leaked before and they put another new one on about two weeks ago. The guys that put the new one on were here and were able to see it leaking. The ceiling and the walls were all finished and waiting to be painted next week. Another set back.

Pastor Todd was over a few minutes ago and got me on line with the church internet! He said that Gabrielle just got home from college, maybe for the summer.

Another day of baseboard and door trim. Going to trim out a new window in Pastor Todd’s office tomorrow.

 This is a picture of the barn that is on the church property. It is a nice tobacco barn that’s is in good shape with electricity, a new roof  and a stage that the kids use for their outings. It must come down because the space the barn is on exceeds the square footage that their next building project will take up. The state/county will only allows so many square feet per acre/project. When they go to their next building stage the barn will need to come down, how sad. I just love old buildings, remember the old farm house?

 Windy - Cloudy - Very Warm 75-80 degrees

Another nice day - Too windy to ride the bike it was hard just walking.

Another day of window trimming - I think that might be the last one. Today was the steeple day. They have been working on it all day. They are just about finish. I am sending Twila the picture of the steeple and I am sure she will work it in!

Twila, I love that picture of the man with the computer, that was me big time!! I think I have that problem solved. I still have a couple of small problems. I am hoping Dave can solve them.

Went out for dinner last night and had a very good meal. Two pork chops, two scoops of mashed potatoes, cole slaw and a roll. I was going to bring home one of the pork chops for tonight supper. It came home not in a box but in my stomach. They were soooo good.  Must go back there again before I leave. It’s called Bert’s 50'S Diner on US 5.

Thinking about moving on early next week. I think most of my work has been accomplished since I have been here. Going to miss the kitchen for washing the dishes and pot and pans, the bath room for the nice hot showers. From now on I will be washing my clothes!

Breezy - Warm - 70-75 degrees

Not a good day for riding the bike. Just got back from my 2 mile walk and plenty hot. I have the AC on in the motor home and it feel good.

Spent the day trimming out windows that have been replaced with newer ones. At least I am inside and it’s a little cooler. Same thing tomorrow, more windows. They want to start painting the walls next week.

Going out to eat tonight with Vaun (?). There is a restaurant about 3-4 miles North of here. We are leaving when he stops for the day. He is staying at Pastor Todd’s house. I am sure we will have a lot to talk about.

I have a call to Dave about this computer. I hope he can fix it or I am going to have a funeral for it and then I will go back with the cell phone. At least I won’t have to wonder if it’s going to work or not. It’s been a pain and the strange thing about it, it’s not the internet. It’s either me or the darn computer. To me, it’s basic stuff. End of story.

Very Warm - Breezy - 75-80 Degrees

                                                                                                                                                 

Very nice outside - AC on - Having trouble with my computer. Not sending and receiving my messages. I find myself spending more time on the computer (correcting things) than I do on anything else, this doesn’t make me happy. I don’t know what’s happen to Saturday and Sunday’s messages. You work on them and send them and they don’t arrive. I should have a copy in my “SENT MESSAGES” but they are not there either!

Still running baseboard and door trim. Had home made spaghetti and salad tonight. Not going to spend any more time on this tonight. It also jumping all over the page. It’s getting on my last nerve! We will see what happens to this one.

April 24, 2011 (EASTER)

Sunny - Very Warm - 85-87 degrees

Very nice day - Rode my bike to church today. 1.8 miles each way. Took me about twenty minutes to make the trip. Nice work out with Sunday clothes!

Pastor Todd brought my clean clothes back about 1:30 and took me to their house for dinner. They all got Easter baskets to include me! It was full of peanut butter candy! What a surprise. I don’t think I have ever gotten a Easter basket when I was a little boy - no money!

                                                                                                                                               

Got back home around 4:30 and spent the rest of the day relaxing. Had a nice week end just resting and getting ready for next week.

Hope you all had wonderful Easter and remember what GOD has done for each one of us!
