This has been a relaxing day. I managed to find sleep last night and woke up feeling rested. Love when that happens.

Phil was here today using the jack hammer to get rid of the concrete steps. Most of the demolition is done on the front porch. I already love the way the house looks straighter and more open. I bet he makes good progress this week.

The dust from the jack hammer came in the house today. I’m grateful I didn’t get to the dusting before today or I would just have had to do it over again. Now I have a good excuse to put it off even longer.

Took the dogs one by one on long walks this afternoon. I have over 4, 200 steps in for today. Not quite to my goal but I’ll take it. It has been a beautiful day to be outside.

Kathy and I went to Pioneer Bluffs for a BBQ dinner and live music this evening. The dinner was excellent, we visited with some dear friends, and the music was fun. We didn’t stay for the formal concert as we were both getting tired. Kathy has to be up early tomorrow to go to work and I had peopled for one and one half hours and that was enough. Perfect weather to sit out and enjoy BBQ and friends.

My trainer let me know she will be there tomorrow so I have to go to exercise at 2:00 tomorrow afternoon. I have a couple of errands to run while I am in town. Tuesday I take Kathy to the KC airport for her flight to CT. The house will be different with Kathy gone for a week.

Before Kathy leaves she has to show me what needs to be watered in the yard while she is gone. She worked hard this week to get all the grass seed sowed before she leaves Tuesday. I don’t have her green thumb so hoping I can keep it growing while she is gone.

Sitting outside this evening has made me tired. Trusting I will be able to sleep again tonight. Life sure is easier when I get sleep!

Grateful for a delightful evening outdoors, grateful the dogs help get me moving, and grateful the porch project is well under way.
