We did our normal Waffle House breakfast and stop at Lowe’s this morning. Both were fun. Penny gave Melissa the quilt for her baby. At Lowe’s we got a half-priced 3 drawer tool cabinet and a cracked bath tub. The tub only cost $16 and will likely become a small fishpond in our back yard. The dogs will love it when it’s in right. I probably wont even start on that for a while. We also got another bush tomato plant and bell pepper and 2 eggplants. (we got 1 for free).
I spent the rest of the day until we went to Mal’s birthday party planting those plants and putting the garden in its final configuration. Now all I need is for the stuff to grow correctly this year. It’s not rocket science but last year the garden was a disaster. The difference this year is that I am putting the necessary time into keeping up with it.
Mal’s party was nice. His son-in-law put together a picture video of Mal’s life. It included the world as it was in 1924; Mal’s career in the Navy and Air Force; the planes he flew; his cars; his 2 girls growing up; some silly photos; some recent shots and a promise that the story will continue.

The guy looks great at 85.
We went to church after the party and Father Path presided. He gave a good talk about faith and how “doubting Thomas” was actually anything but doubting.
Tomorrow I will put the trailer on the CRV and pick up our new bathtub. Then it’s back to hurricane prep, making sure the generator is working fine and beginning to refresh the gas supply for it. Rain may change my plans.
The cold is hanging on as expected. It’s put a drag on everything I do because I still feel worn out all the time. I didn’t get in a walk today but the day was full.
