"We are here to love each other, serve each other, and uplift each other." ~today's Yogi tea bag

We topped off at 48 sunny degrees today.  There was a little bite in the air but if you were in the sun, a sweatshirt was all you needed.  This morning by 9, the driveway was full of electricians, carpenters, and the woman who gave us an estimate on staining the log siding when the garage is complete.

Carpenter made a detailed box for the electrician to attach the outside lights.  I was impressed with this because the light on the house was just attached to the siding.
Little details................
View from Cliff's window.
Look carefully and you'll see a light bulb.  Carpenters were closing in the back wall and putting on the siding. 
Trenching for the electrical conduit.
Back enclosed, siding complete.  The window will be Cliff's radio room.
At 5 PM.

At 6:30 PM.
Tomorrow Jeff and Larry will built a small porch on the right that will lead to the service door.  Next week the garage will be stained and then we wait for the garage door to be delivered and installed.

We have so enjoyed watching the progress of your garage. Are you going to insulate and partition off some rooms? I'm glad you're adding a porch. Couldn't figure out how you were going to use the service door!

 I may repeat things I've already posted.  It's not due to age. I'm too lazy to go back and  reread what I blogged previously.   I've joined the Murphy Health and Fitness gym that's located right across from Konhete Park where I walk so I can swim now too.  I didn't realize how much I missed being in the water.  The other gym, Erlanger Fit Plus membership runs out in September.  Cliff and I belonged to it since moving here and it has a great rehab program that both of us have used at different times.  One time I asked a therapist about knee discomfort/pain and he showed me ways to strengthen quads and leg muscles to prevent knee weakness.  Cliff did PT a few times for back discomfort due to belly pulling on his back muscles.  After the PT a patient get a free month at the gym.  We did Zumba and yoga classes together.  But now I need to swim.  Pool is heated when the temperatures cool down.   Our mornings have bee...

 My laptop was down again............... I finally got Cliff's Davis Vantage Vue weather station up and running.  The Weather suite is now communicating with the wall console.  I found his collection of instructions, quick set-up guides, and manuals all neatly placed in a large plastic sleeve.  This afternoon I called tech support to get help on the last bit of instruction that I couldn't figure out.  The tech was so understanding and went through the last steps I needed to do to get the station console communicating with the outside suite.  Now that it's working, it makes complete sense to me about what I needed to do.  I was so happy that after I thanked him and hung up, I cried.  I felt my connection to Cliff through his technology love.  Now I can watch the wind speed and note the rainfall and feel him here.   A few weeks ago I joined the Murphy gym because they have  pool and I really miss swimming.  It's been difficult to...

 Our last cold spell is this weekend, the blackberry winter. I got to the Murphy farmers market by 9 this morning to buy a bag of fresh crisp spinach and a huge head of butter crunch lettuce which will last one person two weeks.  Fresh greens go quickly and our small market has only two farmers right now.  My plan was to walk the river loop after the market but the wind picked up and a cool misty rain changed my mind. I have "empty nest" syndrome again........... I slowly walked over to the nest to check if the babies were still inside the nest and caught this one sitting on the edge.  When I came back with my phone it was hiding but I took the picture and as I slowly walked away it jumped out of the box and flapped to the porch floor probably thinking "monster alert!"  It hopped around the floor flapping but not becoming airborne.  I left it lone so parents could tend to it, took the Toyota and went to Lowe's.  Lowe's was so mobbed with mulch and plan...
