April 14 – “Speaking of …”

We went to Sherwin-Williams yesterday.  It’s a local (or maybe national chain – I don’t really know) paint store.  We were on the hunt for some stain for the new back door.  Yep.  We have never completed that project.  Sorry about that.  The problem is, we can’t find the name of the stain anywhere in our records.  The original staining happened after Hurricane Ike, and Chris kept meticulous records, but nowhere in there does it say the name of the stain.  I peeled off a tiny sliver of the old door before it was hauled away, and we chose one that looked close.  They said we could return it if we just tested a small area and it wasn’t right (as long as the can looked clean).  And … it wasn’t right.  Of course not.  It just wasn’t golden enough.  We’ll head back over there on Monday, I guess.

Speaking of Monday, we also have to go to the Post Office on Monday.  Seems our letter carrier tried to deliver our income tax packet from our accountant that requires a signature.  We were home, but in the back yard, so we missed it.  Put that one on the list.

Speaking of the back yard, we finished weeding the lawn back there.  I also trimmed off some dead branches from the oleander tree.  Yes.  It’s shaped more like a tree than a bush.  At least it used to be.  Later on I pulled some weeds from the front yard as well.  Now that’s gonna take some doing.  Stay tuned.

Speaking of some doing, I stayed up late for the Astros again.  Not as late this time.  Seattle moved back their start time since it was on a Saturday.  Altuve hit another home run.  Astros won again.  Seventh or eighth in a row now.  That’s some doing.  Keep it up …

Luke 19:38 says, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord!  Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”

Father, draw those folks to the Palm Sunday service today who you want to be there.  Amen.
