Work Continues

Saturday morning we got up and went to First Watch to try the Bananas Foster French Toast we've been getting ads and emails about.  It was very good! But I did not eat all the caramel sauce and nuts with mine. 😊

Then we were off to Lowe's.  We needed some insulation board for the inside of the short attic doors upstairs.  It comes in 4' x 8' sheets.  We had to have it cut in half to get it into the car.  And then we still had to push and shove to get it in.  But we got it and the other things needed, stopped for coffee at Starbucks, and came home.

Les got the insulation cut to size and started working on the project.  First he discovered we did not need the weather stripping we had bought.  No problem, I could return that. Then the Loctite construction adhesive would not come out of the tube.  So off I went to Lowes again.  The people at Lowe's couldn't get the tube to work either, so it wasn't just us. 😊 While I was returning things and getting a different kind of adhesive, Les worked on the TV upstairs and got it all set up and working again.  After some issues with the new adhesive and then some more issues with getting the doors off the hinges, the project is finally done and things are cleaned up. 

And the furry boys are out of our bedroom!  We wouldn't take a chance on them getting back into the attic. Les had to have the doors open while he worked.  Years ago one of our kitties got in the attic and got under the floor boards.  Scary!! She was okay but I wouldn't want that to happen again.  These big boys would probably get stuck in there.

The Olympics have started.  I don't know how much we will watch.  We stuck with the opening parade of athletes until the USA marched in and then we went to bed.  We did like the memorial tribute for the Israeli Olympic athletes who were killed in 1972.  But most of the program we saw just was not that inspiring.  Although I did like all the tap dancing.  As most of us have said, it's been a rough time lately, and there are still a lot of things to worry about.

So, life goes on.  Stay safe.  Take care of yourselves.  God Bless America!
