Our Location today is McGregor, Ontario,
Canada.
We both slept like a couple
of rocks last night meaning when we woke up this morning before 8:00 we were
well rested. We discussed our plans for the day while having breakfast which
included scratching a thing or two off the To-Do
List. As typical we finished drinking our Coffee/Tea while completing our morning reading on our Computers.
I also made a couple of
phone calls and was surprised to find the one, a Doctor’s Office is on vacation until the 21st of this month so we’ll just have to call back. The
second was to Leisure
Trailer in Lakeshore to get the E-mail Address for Stephanie who is
coordinating all our repairs that will be handled next week. Since she was with
another customer the receptionist gave me the E-mail Address. The fact that I had created the list on a multi-paged
spreadsheet it was easier to copy and paste to the E-mail message that explained the reason for doing so.
Since it was the beginning
of a new month Kathy was busy doing our Online
Banking and making certain that we are the only ones using our accounts. While
she continued working I took the time to start making Italian Wedding Soup for lunch with Yogurt as a dessert. Kathy stopped what she was doing and added
some Cranberry Cheese on Crackers to make the meal more filling.
As soon as lunch was over I
started emptying our lower Pantry Shelves.
Like our past trailers Jayco figured having Sixteen-Inch High Shelf Openings would give us enough space for
canned goods. We had tried using open faced bins but they still caused
disorganization so the plan was for me to add additional shelves. Having cut
the Materials on the saws at our son
Kevin’s home I then brought everything to our Home and stored it in our Basement. After staining all the wood it
was again returned to the Basement
to finish drying.
The night our Neighbour had no 12 Volt Power I located my charger from the Basement but the Stack of
Wood Pieces got knocked over. Today as I was trying to assemble the pieces
for each of the Cabinets I found
pieces missing. It took sometime before the three lost pieces were found but my
problems were not over with. I have a habit of making everything a tight fit.
That is good when you are making something from scratch but not when you are
putting them into a solid cabinet that is not always square. Many adjustments had
to be made, Cut here, Shave there and File it all for good measure.
Time was flying by, Stephanie
called back saying she had added the New
Concerns to the Work Order for
next week and it was time to grill a Squash
and some Sirloin Steak of the Weber while Kathy cooked some Broccoli and nuked a Sweet Potato.
Do you remember your
parents telling you to “Don’t talk with
food in your mouth.” As Seniors most
tend to forget that rule because if you don’t say what’s on your mind right
then and there you might forget it later. That’s what happened to Kathy at
supper. She had just taken a bite of her Steak
and then remembered something she forgot to tell me. As she started to talk
the Steak went down her throat and
was lodged in her Windpipe. It took
several thrusts of the Heimlich Maneuver
for that piece of Steak to come
flying out. I’m just glad I was there to help her because I need her as much as
she needs me. It wasn’t funny at the time but we laughed about what our parents
had told us later.
We watched the 6 o’clock News before I returned to installing
the Shelf Faces then to reinstall
the Cabinet Doors that I had
removed. Suddenly some of the screws that I had earlier deposited on the counter
top were missing. Even Kathy couldn’t locate them and I still had another door
to install. Upset that this was happening I started getting the tools from
inside the cabinet and what appears on the
Magnet on the rear of our Portable
Light but the lost Screws.
It was after 8:00 by the
time I closed up for the night. Kathy restocked the shelves that now look half
empty while I put the Saws that were
outside away.
I also walked the Recycle Area where I ran into Joe the owner of the Park.
We talked for a short while before I started heading for Home. I ran into Mike and his father-in-law John. Mike and his wife are now
living in their Motorhome having
just sold their house and he’ll be retiring at the end of the month.
We’ll try to get more
things crossed off our To-Do List
tomorrow. Thanks for
following along and feel free to leave a comment. Be Safe and Enjoy!
It’s about time.

Every time anyone gets within twenty feet of your
porch, something growls.
The shelves look good. There's always improvement you can do to a new full time home.
ReplyDeleteYikes!!! That was a close one!! Glad you were there to help Kathy ... you're right, don't talk with your mouth full!!
ReplyDeleteThose shelves? That's what I've been wanting in my rig's overhead cabinets. 20 inches deep and no shelves. What a waste of space.
