October 4

A nice 56* to begin our Monday. I always liked Mondays and still do. Felt like because of it I always had a leg up on most other folks, even if it was just for one day.

This morning is an exception. I'm not starting too well because of our neighbors. They invited us down to their house for supper last night and served us such a fantastic meal that I couldn't stop at full, so I consequently ran way over. I gained three pounds and feel very full and sluggish at this time. A huge grilled steak that was twice what I should have but I didn't cut and run. I tackled the whole thing adding a helping from two delicious vegetable dishes and the real wronger, a helping and a half of potatoes. A man has got to be one strong willed person to avoid eating potatoes that Mary Jo fixes. She has fixed them several different ways but it doesn't matter, they always seem to challenge your resolve. I lost again but enjoyed every bite!

Today is a mosey to the garage and finish two dice games that I've started. I may not get to completely finish them because a coat of varnish will need to dry but we'll be on the downhill side of the construction.

We're hoping beyond hope that the step builder will make it to our little project this morning. I must have made him mad someway the last time we talked on the phone. hope not!

A day dawns, quite like other days; in it, a single hour comes, quite like other hours; but in that day and in that hour the chance of a lifetime faces us.- Maltbie Babcock
