Sunday Afternoon
January 10, 2015

Jan. 6,Wednesday morning we awoke to a "little bit" of fog.

 

We have received a lot of rain here in the last week.  Lela and Noel spent the day cleaning and organizing around the house.  Patrick and I hung clothing bars in the closets.

The master bath has a grout floor with polished stones imbedded in it.  I cleared the hardened grout from the stones with nylon brushes in an electric drill.  It still needs to be cleaned with vinegar and water, after the walls are grouted and sealed.

Jan 7, Thursday was kind of a lazy day around the house.  Noel was working so not much got done around the house.  Lela fixed baked spaghetti and we just watched TV.

Rain tonight came measured in buckets.  The Drive way is only dirt as it has been too wet to even pour rock as it just disappears in the soil here.  When it dries out there will eventually be concrete.

Jan 8, Friday We accomplished a few odds and end jobs.  The highlight of the day was the steak dinner we had.  We were all stuffed and zoned out on the couch watching a movie when Patrick decided to make dessert.  It was very good; fried banana and ice cream.  Even though we were "full," we all ate it up.  More rain overnight.  I was able to get some pictures of the house in the afternoon.

With water, sewer and 30 Amp power.

Back side will eventually have a deck/

3 door garage with 12 ft ceiling

Garage is under the whole house.

Jan 9, Saturday We had all been cooped up because of rainy weather, so we decided to head out.  We wanted to see what kind of handgun would be the best for Lela, so we went to Able Guns and Ammo in Conroe TX.  We did not find much in our price range, although we did get some helpful information. http://www.ableammo.com/

Then on the way home the girls wanted to stop at Annette's Antiques just off the highway.  It proved to be an interesting stop.

Then it was Wing Stop for dinner.  We had the family pack of 50 wings, Hawaiian style, very tasty.

Then home for NFL playoff games.

Jan 10, Sunday, This morning we headed to the Montgomery Church of Christ.

We went to lunch at The Old Montgomery Steak House in the old part of town.  Chicken fried chicken was the diet buster today, but it was good.

John Wayne pictures on all the walls.

Need work?  Help wanted.

 

Then back home.  Lela cut drawer liners and I hung some things on the walls.

Patrick put a copper wash basin in it.

As I write this the girls have gone "out."  Patrick has pulled some fence posts with the tractor and is now at his mother's house to help her with her furnace as we may get a freeze tonight. I am watching NFL playoffs.
