…one would honestly wonder
what I accomplished today.
Sure I did manage to wash and
dry a load of darks and fold them and put them away, although not totally true
since the washing machine and dryer did most of the work.
Well, I did make Hubby and I
a breakfast of six minute boiled eggs with multi-grain toast on the side. Yep,
you see you bring a small pot of water to a boil about an inch deep and then
place the eggs in with tongs, lower the temperature to a slow roil, close the
lid and set the timer for six minutes, once off the heat flush with cold water for 30 seconds, and done! Perfect soft boiled eggs!
And lunch I did do too and
Hubby made dinner.
He also repainted my indoor
ramp to the sun-room that was installed years ago and was originally
constructed by him and it was due for a fresh coat of paint.
He also checked on the dock
post for the lift that had worn out, eventually all four new ones will be
installed alongside the originals for additional support and that first one has
been slowly going in due to a pump system devised by him when he installed the
original back in 2003 being used once again! The heavy duty pump recycles the
canal water for the digging of the hole, and it had to be installed during low
tide and so we have the tide chart on our fridge and when the tide goes up that
can help with the work too it all depends on the extent of the posts depth.
Any-who, we are in no big
hurry, all the new posts are down on the two docks surrounding the lift, Number
One helped his Dad get them down there on his birthday a few weeks ago, but
Hubby refused anymore help. After all it is all a matter of physics getting the
posts where they belong at this point.
He also has an elaborate winch
system there too, boy what a neat Rube Goldberg looking contraption that is
working.
I suppose it is true he had
help with three other men back in 2003 that sadly have all passed away since.
Our sons have always lived
faraway for most projects except Number One was here right away with all his
friends the day after Hurricane Charley.
Most of the day we sat side
by side reading our books from the library, mine is a Sue Grafton that I
apparently missed V is for Vengeance I read all her others the first thirteen
right after I had my hand surgery which consequently was like two weeks before
9-11 happened; what a horrendous year that was! I also had acquired that nasty
rash caused by Shingles after 9-11, about a week or two; we all had so much
stress in our lives and many still do!
Hubby’s reading Night Moves
by Randy Wayne White another of our favorite authors who is local, but
internationally renowned for his Doc Ford series. He lives on Sanibel.
Another local favorite is
James W. Hall who writes about the keys and is also a Facebook friend of mine
and many others, also well renowned worldwide!
Both genres are mystery that
we love, as well as Sue Grafton’s.
To be fair there was a chill
in the air here today with a high of only sixty seven degrees!
Now the temp is down to
fifty-nine!
Tomorrow is not supposed to
be much warmer… brrr, but sunny and very windy!
Low forties in the morning
tomorrow with a high of sixty-five!
Where did Florida go???????
BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!
On that chillin note down
here in the SUNSHINE STATE allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a
very happy good night and ask all of you to kindly count all your blessings and
share all your overages with you know who and we will too!
And next time please be here
or be square, ya hear!
