April 27 - May 3, 2020 Chores around the House

Apr 27 - Mon

I was got up late, because there was nothing pressing to get up earlier. After getting around we did some laundry and took out the trash. Steve cleaned out from under the kitchen sink. We have too many cleaning products! I renewed our membership in FMCA and signed up for Good Sam Roadside Assistance. Even though we have not needed roadside assistance, it makes you feel much better to have it. I went to Linda’s for a perm this afternoon. We have been watering our flowers and grass seed, hoping for the best. Later we drove out to Perry Lake and walked the dogs. We drove around the country road and took some sunset pictures also!  I also printed out our travel preparation list to get ready for our trip to Montana. 

Apr 28 -Tue

I was up a little earlier today. I got ready for the WW Zoom meeting. Then Steve did some online bill paying. This is difficult for him, but I want him to have an idea how it works. We messed around the house and then took a walk after lunch. It was a little warm, it got up to 82 degrees today. We watched the weather - because it was supposed to hail, but it didn’t develop for us. Thank Goodness. Since it was Tuesday, we picked up supper from La Macarena.

Apr 29 - Wed

The weather was windy and coolish today 62 - 68 degrees. 

We got up and around. Then we went to Lowe’s and arrived at 10:30 and were out by 11:45. We had to pick up paint and some other stuff. Try to find good help at that store….not easy. Next we picked up lunch at Schlotzky's and ate in the parking lot. Our last stop was Walmart, then gas and home. After all that shopping and putting away stuff we took a little rest. I fixed supper at home.

We took this picture hon the way home from Stillwater. These are orange flowers on both sides of the road. They are really pretty in person and didn't come out great in the picture. When we stopped to get a picture, there was a Highway Patrolman in front of us and so we hurried to get the shot and keep moving. 

Apr 30 - Thu

Today it was a cool morning and I mowed the front yard and part of the back yard. Steve can’t mow in front because the Sycamore trees, absolutely set off his allergies. We went to Tractor Supply for an air filter for the lawnmower and a pair of overalls for Steve. Next we picked up some board to replace boards on the shed that have rotted. Steve cut the boards to fit and got them painted. He hopes to get the shed painted before we leave. I  fixed cube steak ,baked potatoes, salad and berries for supper.

Today we just putzed around. Steve scraped the old paint off the shed tile he got pooped out. Not much to report. 

May 2 - Sat

It got up to 88 degrees today! Today we worked together on cleaning out the small shed . We made two trips to the dump. It always feels good to get old stuff  hauled off. We rested in the afternoon. I fixed pizza for supper.

May 3 - Sun

Today was humid. We worked on the shed more. Part of the time we were sorting screws, nuts, and bolts in the big shed. What excitement! We do some stuff and when we get tired or bored with what we are doing, we quit and take it easy. The retired life is good!
