It was so quiet this morning when my mind cleared and told me I was still alive. I laid there for just a minute seeing if some force of nature would pick me up set me down in the kitchen. Nothing happened...I gave it a few more minutes...still nothing...OK I will use my stored energy to pull myself up and get me down to the kitchen to make some coffee.
Today is Sunday and I see that it will not be a day of rest for me and Sherri. We have to get ready and point ourselves toward Wills Point to move some more S T U F F from our barn to Rodney's barn. We left out about 9:30 and arrived in WP about 10:40. Upon arrival we hit the ground running...grabbed up as many totes as we could fit in the truck and took them to Rodney's place. Rodney was not there Sunday but Becky had managed to make it down there so she let us in and we stowed away all we had brought with us. It appeared that we would have to make one more trip to finish out what we planned on delivering this weekend. As I had mentioned in yesterdays post we had rain again and that did not afford us to get much done there. So as usual Sunday turned off nice and we got one day in. This one day a week has put us so far behind in getting things done in a timely manner.
Now that we are down to the last weeks the time is moving at the speed of light. We still have to get the barn moved...electric transferred...culvert in...driveway in and yard sale done. Don't think that will happen this month and may not get totally completed next month either. OH well not to worry...it will not go anywhere so we will just do what we can.
After delivering the first load we asked Becky to go out to eat with us and we took her to the Chinese restaurant in Canton Texas...I know we ate Chinese with Mark and Dortha Saturday...Hey we love Chinese...what can I say. It was good and I ate too much as usual...there goes my weight loss.
We went back by our barn and picked up another load and took it out to the lake. Got it unloaded and dropped Becky off. Good-byes were exchanged and we went back to our barn. I mowed some and picked up around the place. Sherri had done a load of laundry at Jen's house we picked it up and then headed back to Carrollton. We got back and I had to go to the laundry mat and dry some bears...yes bears...stuffed ones that Sherri had washed and they needed to be dried so I took them across the street to dry them in the Park's dryers. Well I guess one of the bears had been shot and the wound was open when it got in the dryer cause we had little beads in the dryer when I opened it. Oh my what a mess! I spent 20 minutes picking out little beads.
Got that all done and returned to the RV and fixed me some cereal for dinner watched a TIVOed program and then said my good nights and went to bed.
What an exciting day! I know that we have many more like this before we can relax. I have a plate full today and will relay those projects later....

You better slow down---That will make an old man out of you. You will probably wonder how you ever got so much done when you were working once the retirement is here.
Man, your day made me tired! Hang in there, unless you have set in stone plans, you have your entire life to get things done at WP. It's not like you have to have it done in June, July, Aug, etc. Are you trying to beat the heat? You're not going to be there anyway, so what's the rush. Move the barn and relax. LOL
You are going to love retirement. I can' wait to read about your adventures.
Safe travels, K
Wait till October to get things done I will come and help you
