Shelves in the Linen Closet are Done

Saturday morning I got up and found Sherri already up and working on her computer. She had made the coffee and was drinking her's. I got me a cup and sat down in the recliner. She turned to me and commented on me sleeping late and that is when I took a look at the clock and realized it was 7:00 am! WOW!... I must have been worn smooth out. 
She told me to give Becky a call and see if she and Rodney wanted to come down and drink a cup with us. I did and they said they would be down shortly.
We both retired to the screened in porch and waited for our neighbors to come down. Sherri had re-arranged the furniture on the porch which seem to make more room for everyone to sit and talk.
We got new furniture last fall and she had found some accent pillows that really made it look much better. All we need now is our rug and we will have it all looking real nice.
It is nice having the screened in porch. Last summer when it was so hot and the mosquitoes were so bad we could sit out and not be bothered.
Today Sherri and Becky are headed out to shop in Rockwall. They have a list of things to get and things that have to be returned. I look for them to be gone all day and into the night. 
I, on the other hand, have some trim that needs to be put down on the porch and a bench that needs to be refinished.
We bought these benches about 4 years ago and after we moved from our home we gave them to my oldest son and his wife for their back porch.
They sat out in the weather for some time and when we got them back they were in need of some serious refurbishing. I took them apart...sanded the wood and re-varnished it. The metal arms and back I repainted and after a few more coats of Spar Varnish I should have them ready to put back together.
I got the shelves for the linen cut out and installed the adjustable shelf brackets. Then I stained the shelves and tried them to see if they fit. 

After the first coat of varnish I cranked up the mower and headed out in the yard to mow. It was good weather for mowing...the wind was cool and the temps were just right. 
After mowing I dug up my dead trees I got from Home Depot. They are guaranteed not to die. They would never had sold them to me if they knew my record of planting and things living when I got through. 
That just about took up my whole day so I was really spent when 5:00 pm rolled around. I was ready for a nice hot shower and a little TV action. I settled for a melted cheese sandwich and then it was time for bed.
Not sure what tomorrow holds but I know it will be more of the same...
