November 1 - 15, 2025 Projecs at Home

1-Sat-After we had breakfast and got dressed we watched some TV. Then we got around and started working on weeds behind our fence.We picked up our mail and some RV antifreeze. We took the dogs with us and made a short walk around the square downtown. Looked at RV’s online again. 

2-Sun-It was just another routine day. We watched a lot of football and took a short walk.

3-Mon-After breakfast we putzed around for a while then got dressed and made the bed. We worked on the weeds behind the fence again until 11 AM. Then we rested. We did a few loads of laundry, then the rest of the day was taking it easy. I ordered pizza from Pizza Hut for supper and it was not great. We will skip them for awhile.

4-Tue-We were up and around about 7:30 today. After breakfast and two tv shows we got dressed and made the bed. We took a short walk. Then we worked on getting the stick tites (weed seeds) off of our jackets. We were off to Walmart about 11:15. I got a new planner and some gum and decorative plates for Thanksgiving. We also stopped at UPS to retrun our old Amazon fire stick. Then we went to the VA in Stillwater so Steve could get a covid vaccine. We had a salad at Chic Fil A. I got my wedding ring checked and cleaned at Kay Jewelers. Then we bought groceries at Walmart Market. We made it home by 3:00 PM.

5-Wed-We had our usual start to the day. I talked to my sister Marsha for awhile. Then Steve had a brilliant idea to get weeds out of the cracks in the street in front of our house. I am not a fan of this. Next we started digging up the rocks on the north side of our house. We are going to  make a wooden walkway there after we remove all the rocks. We got some weed barrier cloth at the hardware store. We put that down between our shed and the fence. Then we started moving the white rock to the shed area. The white rocks used to be really pretty when I first put them down, but over the years they have gotten dirty. I even used to have to potted plants sitting on them. The rocks are not conducive to keeping your balance as you get older though. So we are building a wooden walkway. It will make it easier to load the RV too. We had lunch and then a short nap. Next we looked at RVs on the computer. I made a list of RV Dealers and the things we want to look for in a different RV. We really like the layout of our current RV, but it is getting some age and miles on it. We are going to try to replace it if possible. We have had it 10 years and it seems like part of the family now. 

6-Thu-After our morning routine was finished we went outside to move more rocks and dirt. We are trying tot get it level in this spot. We took a break at 2:30 and had lunch. Supper was a waffle with peanut butter and syrup along with Canadian Bacon.

7-Fri-We are sore from our work yesterday. After we got dressed we moved the RV in the driveway to get the water drained out completely. We are going to winterize the RV. We did have lunch. Then I picked up the mail and some apples for Steve. Steve worked outside on the deck area. I paid bills and checked email. 

8-Sat-After getting around , Steve leveled the spot for the decking. I raked rocks Later we went inside and had lunch and looked at some RV’s online. Then we measured the RV and the deck spot.

9-Sun-The morning routine does not change much, breakfast, TV, Dress, make bed. Today we watched football. I put a roast in the crockpot. It is chilly outside, so we were inside most of today.

10-Mon-We did laundry today. I wrote some messages to the VA regarding Steves meds and his back appointment. In addition I worked on the blog. Steve checked on board prices at Lowes website.

11-Tue-We left for Stillwater at 11 AM. We went to Lowe’s. Steve sorted through the boards to get the ones which were the straightest. That took us about and hour and a half. Then we got groceries at Walmart and got home about 2:15. We put our stuff away and had a late lunch. I helped Steve unload the lumber and we stacked it in the garage. We had supper at La Macarena with Linda and Hazel.

12-Wed-After breakfast we started painting the boards. We cut the small boards. So it was a day of work.

Painting Boards

More Northern Lights

13-Thu-We were painting boards again today. We have 40 boards to paint front, back, sides and ends. Plus we have to paint the small boards that we will use as cross pieces too. We worked from 10-1 then had a break for lunch. Then more painting from 2 -4. We stopped and took a well-deserved rest. I was very tired and my back hurt. I was really glad to stop for the day.

14-Fri-After we got around we moved some more dirt. Then we finished painting the last 7 boards. Next we started working on the layout of the deck project. I mad pizza at home. I made the crust from a mix and then used sauce in a jar and added my toppings. I think my pizza is better than Pizza Hut!

15-Sat-Another routine start to the day. Then we worked on leveling the deck area. Some dirt has to be added and some taken away. It is a tedious process. But I think it will be worth it. We are making great progress! This is really gonna be wonderful when we finish!
