August 3rd, Friday -A Day Home, Mexican Train, Replacing Drawer Catches

Another nice morning when we awoke.  No rain, lots of clouds, and the humidity even in the early morning was oppressive.   It is what it is and I’ll take it as it comes.  Since we had no where to go and no where we had to be there was no rush getting up.  My kind of morning.

Breakfast was one of my favorites again, cheese potatoes with ham and juice and fresh brewed coffee.  Barbara had her usual oatmeal.  It’s nice sitting at our new table  and on chairs that no longer torture my back.  We both absolutely love the change and the fresh look.

Today I had just one chore that really needed to be done and that was changing some of the cheap plastic catch latches on the kitchen drawers.  One in particular never stays closed when we travel.  This time, however, I believe I have the answer which I discovered through an internet search.  I found solid brass tension catch latches.

Today, we also decided, it should be game day.  So throughout the day we played Mexican Train.  We played off and on during the day and we’ll finish tonight.

Well, its Friday and the seasonal campers are beginning to stream into the park.  If it goes anything like last weekend the park will be packed by tomorrow afternoon.  One plus, if only for a day we’re going to get our view of the pond back tomorrow.  Our neighbors from NJ leave for home in the morning.

That was the sum total of our day.  Relaxing, fun, productive and of course made even better by the fact that we did it together, side by side, singing our song.   Thanks again for sharing our day with us.  We hope your day was a great one as well.  I have to say I really feel sorry for those who just rush through each day.  I know I used to do it and I also know how much of the beauty of each day that I missed.  Now, not tomorrow but now, this moment is the time to enjoy each minute given to you by the good Lord.  In closing, here is a thought for each of us to ponder:

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 eventually some shut-eye.  Till tomorrow.
