Some daily routines

We are falling into a bit of a routine here. We do not rise too early since television shows that we like to watch at nine o'clock central time are shown here at ten means that on some nights we stay up an hour later and thus are starting to get up an hour later. During the day we work on the landscaping here. Things are a bit overgrown, and also the lawn need mowing now and then. So, we are helping with these tasks when the weather permits. I have started a stained glass window which, when completed, will go in a window here by the front door. Since this window is for Arthur's house, he has helped pick out the design and the glass. Yesterday the pieces were cut out, and today each piece must be ground to fit the pattern. Since there are about 100 pieces this process might take several days.

Arthur continues to try to wind up his brother's affairs here. His brother has a house and a wonderful workshop which is to be emptied. Tools, tools, tools! I am helping where I can with this project. Currently we are trying to put each tool in its case and labeling and things like that. Once it is decided how to best to divest the tools then there is that project as well.

Other than these routines, we generally go into town each afternoon to take mail or get groceries or simply look around. Usually in the evening we three have dinner together, and then we head to the coach for a bit of television or reading. I can not think of a more lovely place in which to fall into some routines. I never get tired of looking at the ocean, islands, and mountains. On a clear day we see several mountains that are really dormant volcanoes. I certainly hope that they stay dormant. Happy travels.
