I just finished reading the obituary for our friend, Bruce, who died a few days ago. He was 75. Two years ago a good friend, Tom who was 72 died in the summer. Last year a fellow tennis player Ron died just before he was to leave for Naples. Terry and I are going to be 70 next year!!! I really am not concerned about the age but really these deaths over the last 3 years have me so sad. I supposed on the other end we visited Grandma Saunders last Wednesday and she is 95! She is expecting her 40 great grandchild this year. Not sure what end of the ages Terry and I will end up on. As one gets older deaths of friends become more common and more difficult to accept.
We continue to have super weather and such nice green lawns. When we arrived home from ND the rain gauge showed .9" again. I would say that means we have gotten at least 3 inches of rain in September. Usually by now the lawns are a bit brown but they look great.
The bathroom, it continues to get better but probably not fast enough. I did get one of the storm windows that I am redoing up on the house yesterday. That means there are 2 more to go. I am making slates of wood that are 3/16' X 1/4' and then painting and cutting them to size. I am using them instead of glazing as I think they look better and last longer. For the 3 windows I needed 36 pieces 12" long and 36 pieces 9" long. Some how cutting, priming and painting them seemed like a lot of work. On the 2 windows upstairs I need 64 pieces about 4" each. Perhaps someone can tell me why I am living in a house that is 110 years old!
Time for breakfast and then back to work. I am experimenting with NO FP for a few days, maybe that is why I have been kind of "out of sorts".
Here we are at July and the months is Dave's. An outstanding father, dad, woodworker and a man of God he had it all. We miss him.
