It was a busy and hectic day yesterday. We have a forecast of winter weather coming, so I'm trying to get everything prepared.
Steve was trying to get all his lights put on the fence down the driveway. He's working so hard to save some of the older strings, but I told him to just replace them with the newer strings.
We had lunch at The Down Home. I saw Uriel and Mrs. Edde, Ada and Ed Davis, and Mrs. Smith and her son, Tim Corum. Tim is with the road department, and I asked him how things were going with the new superintendant. He was non-commital. I finally got him to talk about things by mentioning that I had supported David Bean in the last election. He told me then that he is thinking of running in the next election. I told him I would give him my full support. I don't like Renfro. He fired Karen McNish and hired his daughter to replace her.
I talked with Ed and Ada a short while. I told her I had her a Christmas window curtain that I had painted for her. She's really pleased with that news. She had seen mine last year, and bragged on it so much, so I decided to make her one. I started it in October to have it ready for Christmas. I've got to get it to her this week.
Yesterday afternoon was filled with activity. I got more heaters under the water containers up at the bird houses, made sure all the reservoirs were filled, and tried to get the birds ready for the coming storm.
I then went to the Hut to work. I finished the trim on the bathroom window. It's such a small window, the trim was harder than if it were a larger one. I had to allow for the turn crank for the window, too. Steve came up later and commented "Hey, Babe, that looks really neat".
I had insulated the wall, and I painted the new plywood surface the color it's going to stay, I hope.
I have a small sheet of loft-over plastic laminate that I'm going to glue to the lower part of the wall behind the sink to prevent splashing from staining the wall. I think it's going to be pretty nice.
I finished about 9:00, but it wasn't too cold. Smokey comes out and sits in front of the heater and keeps me company. He's getting so old, and I think his joints bother him a lot. I'm glad he wants to be with me.
Steve had just got in the house when I came in. We had ham sandwiches for supper.
When I checked the TLC website, I saw that Faune Gerber is trying to locate Cynthia Thomas, a sister worker from many years ago in the Knoxville area. They published her address.
I sure hope Faune doesn't go after her with all that talk about 'cults'.
She was one of my favorites when I attended meetings. She's a nurse, but gave up her career for the work.
I got up pretty early, but Steve was still sleeping. I could feel the damp and cold coming through the walls of the house. We're really well insulated, so I know it's bad out. This kind of weather really hurts us with fibromyalgia. I hope Lynn is OK.
