This morning wasn't quite as humid as yesterday......and sure glad of it. I was up about 6:30, took care of the morning rituals....which this morning included working on a bit of soap scum which I have been able to feel on the shower walls....and so, that took me a good 15 minutes to clean them as well as the huge clear glass shower doors. When we special ordered this shower and doors, we mad certain that the doors were a quarter of an inch thick so they wouldn't "rattle" when closing them,. etc. And....they have worked out quite nicely, even though three years ago they were a pain in the ass to get.....long, long story, so I won't go into it again.
I had my morning Fr. Roast coffee on the patio.....which is nicely shaded until about mid-morning. Around 10am.....my former piano student who had studied with me for several years came by. And.....sitting on the patio we talked for quite some time....covering a lot of subjects dealing with his Life. It is ALWAYS good to see him....and to learn just how he is doing with his Life,..........he will be a second year college student this fall.
The afternoon......well, THANK GOD....the contractor for the installation of the new shingles, etc on the roof arrived......and soooo, the wonderful sounds of scraping and pounding on the roof went on until almost 6pm. They got about half of the roof cleared of the old shingles....the ones that still remained.....and that part then they finished putting down the underlayment paper. Soooooo glad to hear all of that noise on the roof.......it is two days shy of three months since the inland hurricane tore up our small town....and I am so happy to begin to see that we will not be living under blue tarps for much longer!!!!
The 1st Lady is on her way back down here as I type. She has been at her mother's home for the past couple of days. Last night, Dr. Jeni/Darrel, and three kids surprised them and arrived at her Mom's house pulling a new boat. Soooo, of course, they spent most of the day on the Lake there...Mark Twain Lake...just west of Hannibal. I think it was about 7:30 when she finally got on the road to return here.....about 200 miles.
A quick day tomorrow.....and then we will return to Monroe City on Saturday for the 1st Lady's 45th class reunion. She hasn't been to a reunion for years and years and years, so this should quite interesting!!!
As it began to cool down about 6pm this evening.....I spent an hour on the ladder waxing and polishing the front end of the RV......twice. Seems that any more, one waxing is not enough....and even with the sun almost gone.....it was quite warm and humid.....enough that I was soaked....not a dry stitch on my sagging body by the time I finished. I do not believe I am going to have the time to get the entire trailer done before we leave for the Wild West next week. Just running out of time.....and cool enough weather to get it completed.
And sooooooo, another day has shortened my Life by slipping past soooo quickly!!! But....as always........
LIFE IS JUST REALLY, REALLY GREAT!!!!!......And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!!
