On Monday, He gave me the gift of love,
On Tuesday, peace came from above.
On Wednesday, told me to have more faith,
On Thursday, gave me a little more grace.
On Friday, told me to watch and pray,
On Saturday, told me what to say.
On Sunday, gave the power divine
Just to let my little light shine.

Sunday, yes, He gives the power divine to let my little light shine.  So, it was off to church for that power we went this morning.  We were not disappointed by any means.  Our time spent in God’s house is always positive and meaningful.  Today was no different.  How about you?  If you often find your week just dragging perhaps you need to get a Sunday charge before you begin the week as well.  Just saying.

Home after church for a delightful brunch that Barbara was able to whip together.  My sweetheart can always put together a wonderful meal.  Honestly, in the many years we’ve been married I don’t believe that there has been more than a time or two when I can say I was disappointed.

Then it was on to chores for the day.  First up was doing the nasty, translated, emptying

the black and gray tanks.  Really, I don’t know why so many people have an issue with this task.  If you keep your waste valves in good order, have a decent back flush system in place, and a flow meter handy it isn’t that big of a task.  Over and done within 30 minutes.

Moving on, it was time to do some maintenance on the chassis battery (below, the one to the right).  This is the one battery that has no date of purchase on it nor any records of what’s been done when.  So I decided it was time to do some rewiring and a basic health

check of the battery.  The rewiring was really easy I just had to remove the no longer needed winter disconnect switch.  I borrowed a battery hydrometer (next thing to buy) and tested each cell and all came back in the green.  I now feel a whole lot better knowing that the battery is healthy before we roll out of here.

Next on the list was finishing the drying rack I started a week ago.  I purchased some

clothes line and strung it through the various holes I had drilled previously.  Finished!

It was then up to the roof for another check of all the seams, etc.  All was in good order so another item on the list that can be checked off.  Getting there, item by item.

Time now for a break, namely an ice cream break.  It was 4 pm and time for the Sunday

afternoon ice cream social at the activity hall.  Today, they were also going to announce the winner of the photo contest from the many pictures entered.  Once there we met up with Dennis and Pam.  Pam had entered a picture and, of course, like us neither of them can pass up ice cream.  Of course, they now live 45 minutes north of the park, but they came.  Good thing that they did, for out of the 20 plus pictures entered Pam’s won first place.  It is a picture of one of the donkeys at the farm next door that likes to come over to the fence for treats like carrots and apples.

Back at Graybeard I did another check of the weather and it is still showing some heavy storms moving through our area possibly tomorrow, but definitely on Tuesday.

The weather report is for heavy rain and strong winds from the south-west.  Absolutely from the wrong direction in terms of our outside awning.  So call me over-cautious, if you want, but I decided tonight to bring the awning in and lock it down in the stored position.   It would be better to have it out with the rain, but if the wind were to get a hold of it that could send it over the top of Graybeard.  So it’s in.

While I was puttering around so was Barbara.  Like mine her day was spent just catching up on house hold chores.  As she would tell you, not necessarily very exciting but it was a relaxing day that was free of stress.

So that was our day.  Daylight has now gone and night has appeared.  No, we didn’t go exploring today.  No, we didn’t some would say, have a really exciting day.  Okay, but we did have a delightful day of chores done at a relaxed pace – the only way to do them if you ask me.  We hope you had a great day as well.  We hope that you were able to enjoy the day that God had given you.  In closing, here’s a thought for all of us to ponder:

If you want to feel rich, just count all the things you have that money cannot buy

As always,  if you are coming to the end of your day with concerns and worries let me suggest that you turn them over to God.  After all, He is going to be up all night so why not let him handle them for you.

Time now for our evening prayers and some shut-eye.  Till tomorrow.  Thanks again for sharing our day with us.

These are the voyages of  Graybeard and it’s occupants, four paws and two humans.  Our continuing mission: to explore as many new states as possible, to seek out new acquaintances and make new friends, to boldly go where we have not been before
