Really HOT
I just did one round of walk as I needed to leave by 8:00 am. Before going to Berean I stopped at Sam's club to buy the water for the family night tomorrow along with the food for Friday's meal. I am thankful for the big fridge in the Berean office. It easily fit the perishable foods. The bad news today was the internet was still not working. Skip and Marvin worked this morning trying to get it up and running but no go. That meant we would not be able to print out the Bible stamps. Skip opened a really nice letter and right after the prayer read it to us. I thought I was video taping his reading only to figure out that didn't happen.
We did some complaining today at having to apply postage stamps to each envelope instead of just running them through the machine.
That brought back so many memories of when we had to actually LICK the stamps and to seal the envelopes we had what we called lickers. We really needed our licker here.
Live is much easier UNLESS the internet is down. We got desperate enough to call that nameless IT guy from church to see if he would be able to come out to help. He didn't answer his phone but Skip left a message, hopefully he is not screening his calls.
The Bibles and studies were taken to the Hanna City post office. As each Bible would need to be scanned for postage I knew it would take a while so asked Kathy, the postmistress, if she would mind if I ran the food home then came back to pay. She was fine with that. I got back even before she finished. She was quick to tell me that one of my sisters came in while I was gone. Funny how they know we are related, we all have different last names. A notice came that the new fridge and stove were going to be delivered on Thursday. I really needed to get the floor scrubbed before they arrive so spent the next 3 hours cleaning and scrubbing. David brought Israel out, Anna brought the girls out, and Taunya brought her boys out today and all enjoyed the lake while I was working so I never saw any of them. The guests moved out of the apartment today so at noon I drove up to check that out, opened the door and my eyes started burning and the smell was over powering. This couple had 4 little children and yet the apartment smelled strongly of pot. Thankfully the ozone machine was still in my possession. I lend it out each time someone needs it but everyone that has borrowed it has returned it. That was turned on for an hour and a half. A do not enter sign was put on the apartment door then Braelyn called to tell her not to come for a few hours. We have new guests arriving tomorrow at noon so it must be cleaned before then. Later today I went inside and that machine worked it's magic. The apartment no longer smelled like pot. I took all of the towels and sheets over here to wash. Braelyn is going to take the comforters home for washing. I picked up a desk in East Peoria for the second bedroom. Mark helped get it inside but it is not yet upstairs. That will come later when Mark is feeling better. A new microwave was ordered. I decided on an under the counter one but wanted a 1000 watts or more and found this one that has 1150 watt. It is also stainless steel so should match the new fridge and stove.
The sail boat was used a lot today. Berlica and Cheyanne hosed off the horses for us. It was just so very hot today. The Family night meal will be moved inside tomorrow instead of outside.
