A New Week

Coker, Alabama

Weather: low 76 degrees, high 101 degrees, clear skies

Doing nothing the last two days was restful and helped us recover some of our enthusiasm for finishing our work at the house. I was up early and gone for my morning walk by 0530 hours, finishing just as the sun was up. On the way back to the RV, I stopped at WalMart and picked up some pine bark mulch to replace what was messed up in the flower beds by the dogs before they were adopted by new families. After taking care of a few errands at the RV, we were at the house by 0900 hours. I put the mulch in the flower beds, watered the flowers, swept the front porch and sidewalks, put the garbage out, and a couple other tasks before going in the house.

The remainder of work in the house consists of moving the rest of Terri's things out, separating what will be for charity and what will be put in a yard sale, minor touch up of walls and door facings, etc. She moved her clothes today, as well as most of the frozen food in the refrigerator. Before we know it, we'll be in a maintenance mode on the house. I can't wait.

At the rate things are getting done, we will probably have a yard sale in about two weeks. It is amazing the number of yard sales that we see in this area. I wonder if people really buy so much stuff that they don't need, or are they having these sales so they can buy gas for the car?

We left for home from the house about 1645 hours this afternoon. After getting home, we decided we wanted some Publix chicken for supper. I didn't want to go anywhere, but the chicken sounded good, so off we went to Publix. For a change, traffic was not bad, and it only took about 30 minutes to drive in, shop, and drive back home. The chicken was good, and we have enough for another day. Not bad.

More later, be safe.
