The Kiln is loaded to maximum capacity and there is a new electric box so it can now be used again. 

The Russells have been very busy...this is only part of what they have made that’s still in the house.

 We slept in again.  Starting Saturday, we will have to be getting up early, so we are enjoying a few relaxing mornings.  I got up before Bill and did my Bible reading and prayer books.   I made my coffee and had his set to go when he got up so he could just push the button.  He drank a protein drink and I had a banana for breakfast.  I took my shower while he was reading his Bible.  It is a really nice shower.  After he finished reading his Bible and did his prayer books, he took his shower.  

We ate lunch, then went for a ride.  We went down one of our favorite roads that is super curvy and hilly.  It wasn’t as thrilling as riding down that curvy downhill road the other day with the motorhome pulling the trailer.  It was 85 degrees out, but this road was nice and shaded so it felt nice and cool riding.  We went by the Air B & B we stayed at with Ziggy one year.  It sure is easier staying on Iron Mountain where everything goes on.  We went to Walmart for a few things, then went to McDonald’s and I got a Mocha Frappe.  Bill didn’t get anything.  We came home and I worked some on my blog and Bill took a nap.  I talked to Vikki and Melissa for a while.  We all loved looking at the new puppy pictures.

Bill and I played a game of 3-13 and the only time one of us was negative was Bill the first hand.  This time we were both very positive, but during the last hand Bill became more positive than me by lots of points and lost.  

Wes and Gayla made it as far as Lexington today.  They started out when it was 51 degrees out.  It was 80 degrees when they got to Lexington.  

I talked to Kimmy and we enjoyed going over the puppy pictures too.  They got their new electric box in the barn, so are able to use the Kiln now.  They have it loaded to capacity, and will be running it soon.  They also lots on their cupboards to go in the kiln, and more on shelves.  I am so happy for them to be able to get lots made for their busy season.  I love all the things they make.  They are my favorite potters.  Eli doesn’t have his MRI appt. yet.  It sure is taking a long time.  No fun to have to be on crutches.  I’m glad Kimmy’s doctor appt. went well and she got a good report.  

Bill and I rode on the trike to the Chopping Block for dinner.  It is a nice restaurant with good food.  It was packed when we got there but empty when we left.  It was around 7 when we got there.  

I finished my blog when we got back.
