Day 67, "Every picture has a story"
This picture is actually a picture of me this summer. Well I have to admit that I do not look as good as the tree that is bearing so much fruit but Terry noticed this tree a few days ago and could not believe how many apples it has for such a small tree and to see how loaded down it is was amazing. Well as I stopped my bike to take a closer look at it I could see myself in it totally. The circle, well that is me the day I make the wrong cut on the only 11 1/2" board! I also made a cut too wide on another board that same day. Boy was I like that apple in the circle. AND that apple is has hard to see as I was difficult to be around for a time! I was about as DOWN as one can get! Well the triangle is another story in itself. Kind of in the middle and that has been me most days. As time flies by this summer I feel kind of crowded but in the middle. Things like wood projects, getting a board fixed on the deck, getting weeds out of the lawn, getting trim around the fireplace, getting exercise each day for that hamstring and the list could go on. Those things make me the middle group of apples. Not too down, not too up but in the middle and moving forward. Well the square of course is the mountain top experiences!!! Having the upstairs walls repaired and painted, getting the treads on WITH my new 15 GA finish nailer which is battery powered and more. Those are at the TOP. So there is my picture of the day. It is of me during the summer of 2018!!! Down, middle and up and without question way too loaded down BUT there are NO complaints as I know many people who would love to be active.
Yesterday was a day of progress. There are now only 3 treads left to install. The bottom one that will arrive tomorrow, the fourth one which requires a special cut which is a cut that I made too wide a few days ago and then the very top, #16. #16 is only about 4-6" long and also needs to be cut down on the under side of the back a couple of inches. Hard to explain but it will challenge the skills of this guy. Terry finished another grocery bag of papers yesterday. It is hard to believe how much ink she received while serving in the senate. She is finished with 3 and only 1 to go. She is also in the middle of her third batch of pickles.
Today Terry has a 2 hour appt at the dentist so I will find something to do during that time. I don't think I will come home as that would mean drop her off, drive 20 minutes home, get about any hour of work done and then drive the 20 minutes back to pick her up. I do need to go to Home Depot for a couple of things and as a handy-man, kind of, I could spent a lot of time there but then of course I may purchase something I do not need!
Our sibling get-together is coming up soon. I guess Glorine will not be able to come and that is so disappointing. Maybe another time. I know it will be a fun time because as all of us get older the stories get better and better. Funny how stories of yesterday can be more fun than when they happened!!! AND there will be potato salad which always makes for a fun time, really!
Once again I woke up way too early but then this FP makes it worthwhile. Maybe, just maybe if I decided to stop drinking FP I would sleep longer because when I wake up at 4 and think of my FP I just can not go back to sleep. On second thought that is out of the question to not have the FP java in the morning.
On to another day in the summer of 2018.
