A simple way to keep family, friends, and the curious informed about our comings, goings, and doings.

One Last Time

We are in Lebanon. We are sitting in the rain. So what’s new? Well, for one thing the rain DID go away for a few days and we had 80* weather – in Grants Pass. We got to Lebanon Saturday and the weather was nice – shorts weather, even! But today and tomorrow is rain. Then… well, maybe some more nice weather.

Last week was mostly the usual – cleaning up, getting things ready for sale or whatever happens. Steve (a carpenter friend) came over and helped me install a new back door. I decided to get a pre-hung door because the other one wasn’t fitting correctly. Joyce started her own project. A long time ago she cut a flowery vine out of old wallpaper, then glued it to the wall in the bathroom – sort of a decorative touch. It is had outlived it’s usefulness so she commenced to take it down. Only problem is she had glued it on with Elmer’s! Boy was it stuck. I think it will look okay when we paint.

I finished reducing eight file drawers down to four. There’s no reason a retired guy needs to have two file cabinets. At least I don’t. Anyone want to buy a file cabinet?

As I’ve said before, the RV has been stored at my sister’s between Lebanon trips. This time we went up Friday evening so Roy and I could get an early start on repacking the wheel bearings. He was my mentor; now I’m supposed to know what to do the next time. After lunch we headed for Lebanon. Again, we are set up in the church parking lot. Our goal is to visit as many people as possible while we are here. So far, most of our visits have been over meals. We are eating way too much!!!!

I preach this Sunday so the preparation is also taking some of my time. It is good. The people here are really great. In fact they had a potluck for us Sunday and gave us a nice money gift as appreciation for being here. It’s humbling.
