Good morning,
So another week has ended and a new one is beginning. The old week went out hot and it appears that the new one will start hot and wet. Had a short shower just a bit ago and more is expected this afternoon. I hope we get a good, slow, soaking rain of at least an inch or so. It is so dry here. Yesterday I was raking over the trench and it produced a cloud of dust that followed me. Even walking across the driveway produces dust.
I continued to work on the storm door installation. I one side of the frame cleared of the extra pieces in the way. Working on the other side now. It also is supporting the outer wall on that side so have to handle it a bit differently. Trying to notch one 2"x4" and move it our about an inch and a half. It is held together with some pretty healthy ring-shank nails. Fortunately, they are aluminum and my saw makes pretty quick work of them. Discovered the door is vertical, but the house wall isn’t. I have to account for a " taper for the length of the door. Not to sure how that will be solved - yet. Lots of putzy work.
I stopped working on the door yesterday when the temperature reached 95º F outside. The entryway faces west and the sun beats in, raising the temperature a lot. Not sure what the temperature was in there, but it was too much for me. The shower afterwards really felt good and washed off all of the sawdust and chips sticking to me. The humidity was fairly low yesterday, so took me longer to "feel" the heat. Out in the sun was a different story though.
We are going to church in Crystal Falls this morning. We will see what that one looks like. It is a larger church than we are used to, but we will see how many actually are at the service. They have three services, one Saturday and two on Sunday. Sounds like too many folks to me, but we will see. Margriet cut my hair yesterday so I look all pretty when we go.
Margriet has been finding more treasures. She has found many projects Mom started, but didn’t finish. She has started to finish a couple embroidery projects the last couple of days. There also are several quilts started, some rather complicated, but she has not found more fabric of the same pattern to finish them. She still may find some mixed in some other box. She figures it will take 200 years to use up all of the "stuff" she has found. She sure is having fun!
The plan looks to be to go back to FISKLAND tomorrow. I still need to finish the Bible study worksheet is finished first though. I have most of it finished. Just have to add the questions and thinking points to it, then print it out. That will be the major project for today. Maybe even get at the next one. Will email it, and hopefully the next one, to Grace. They will be able to use them if we don’t get there for some reason or other.
Time to get a-going.
In Christ My Saviour,
Chris ><>
