Wed., 11/5/25, Scrubbed all the hard floors, washed rugs, cleaned most of the downstairs, Bill blew off the deck and power washed it, had a neighbor visitor who lost his kite, went to Melissa’s, did more knitting

 

A neighbor on a road close to ours had his kite blow off and it ended up eventually in our tree after blowing in the hard winds.

I slept really good until 4 in the morning, then I came out to the recliner so I could lay comfortably on my back.  It took a while, but then I got to sleep.  I went back into bed when I knew I could be comfortable on my side again.  I had a dream where we were having a big party had a huge older brick house, and I couldn’t even get to where I could see the friends I was looking for.  Then Bill came in and told me I had to tell everyone to leave because he sold the house and we had 12 hours to pack up everything.  We didn’t even have any boxes. I was sure glad to wake up from that dream.  I got up and got right at sweeping and moping all the hard floors downstairs.  It seemed like such an easy job after that dream lol.  I washed rugs too.  I cleaned the rooms, I mopped and also cleaned the living room and dining room.  Only have the family room and our room to do now.  

Bill was outside power washing the deck by the gazebo after he blew the leaves off the whole deck.  There was some algae and we wanted it cleaned off before winter.  He got at that while I was cleaning.  I heard the doorbell ring, so went to the front door and looked out.  It was a young guy, who had a nice Christian shirt on.  I opened the door and talked to him through the glass storm door first.  He told me he lived across the next road and showed me his house.  He had been flying his kite and then the wind really picked up and blew way down by us.  By this time the wind was whipping so fast he couldn’t even try to get it.  He had tried when it was in our tree, but just as he went to grab the tails, the wind blew it away again.  I went outside and he was trying to show me where it was flying in the sky, but I couldn’t even see it.  That wind was so strong!  He gave me his card with his name and phone number on it and asked me my name.  He just wanted me to text him if his kite landed where I could see it.  I kept checking, but the wind continued to blow too hard.  I talked to Melissa and after talking to her decided I should look at his card.  He works for a company called Simply restored that does handyman services.  He had a scripture on his card that said, “Therefore I glory in Christ Jesus in my service to God.” Romans 15:17.  We will probably giving him a try if we need some handyman work done.  I’m thinking it was no coincidence his kite blew into our yard.   I had to run to Melissa’s for a few minutes, so told Bill about him and had him watch for his kite while I was gone.  When I got home, Bill told me his kite had landed in the tree by our garage.  

I warmed up mashed potatoes, round steak and gravy, and corn that was left over from last night.  We ate, then had a bowl of ice cream for dessert.  Then I worked on my blog and he caught up on his phone from being busy all day.  I called Vikki to see how her day went and how her arm was doing.  She had a hard day working at Weiss since she had to do a lot of bending because cupboards were very low for kids to reach.  She loved being there though.  I am going to knit more on dishcloths now.
