5:30 am and we are up and running on all eight cylinders.\u00a0 \u00a0Well, maybe seven?\u00a0 We spent an hour or so in the office before getting ready for the day’s more serious tasks.<\/p>\n

“Mornings are like nature in spring\u2026 humming with the sounds of life and the promise of a fresh new day!” \u2014LeAura Alderson<\/em><\/p>\n

Mary had her painting class at 1:00 pm so she departed for the showers a little early. .<\/p>\n

Tom Heaton, our handyman, came over at 10:00 pm and we worked on the patio to get ready for Charlie’s birthday party on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Tom worked, and I did other necessary chores like finding the top of the workbench, ordering umbrella accessories for this weekend, getting swimming pool caulking compound, and of course, cleaning the kitchen before the boss gets home.<\/p>\n

Mary returned with her latest masterpiece!<\/p>\n

Mary gets better every week!<\/p><\/div>\n

We have a lot of brick around the pool, and some of the mortar has come loose, so we asked our handyman to fill in the blanks.\u00a0 He did a marvelous job, working almost seven hours straight to prepare and repair damage, and complete the mortar work.<\/p>\n

\"\"

We are ready to start work!<\/p><\/div>\n

95% of the grout has been fixed, and on Thursday, we will do the caulking around the pool proper.<\/p>\n

\"\"

The grout is in!<\/p><\/div>\n

Cleanup time!\u00a0 The pool cleaner will have a field day tomorrow.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Cleanup is underway!<\/p><\/div>\n

We visited Jeff, bringing him some cookies, and then headed back to the pool for the infamous midnight swim.\u00a0 \u00a0By 9:45 pm, we were sawing logs after sitting by the fire pit for a while and finishing off some wine that was leftover in the fridge.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow, the dreaded gym and then to the Orange County Fair!<\/p>\n

If life went any faster, we would be waving bye-bye as it disappeared into the future without us.<\/p>\n
