Merry Christmas

To all of those who read this blog, may you have a very Merry Christmas, and may the peace of Him whom we celebrate at this time of year be a part of your life throughout the coming year.

 

Fall Gardening

Fall has over taken me and all the chores are here. The leaves have mostly fallen, and I have started to collect them. 
However, on Tuesday, a young man, Justin, from church, and I got a pick up load of horse manure from down the road, and he spread it on the garden. 

Justin Spreading Manure

While he was doing that, I ground up some leaves to also spread on the garden.

Grinding Leaves

I was going to till it all in, but both of the tillers were on the fritz.
Today (Wednesday) I adjusted the Mantis and it ran better, but it wasn't tilling deep enough for me.
I took a look at the Parmi and found the problems. It was throwing a belt inside the housing. Because, a part that holds a pulley in place had become lose. I  fixed the pulley and replaced the belt and away I went. I got the whole garden tilled.
Tomorrow or Friday or Saturday (tga time), I will collect a bunch of leaves and spread them over the entire garden. 

The TRIP - Day 16

June 28

One evening Outside Our Condo

We got up and did most of our packing and went to church "on the beach." It wasn't actually on the beach, but on the out door seating area of a restaurant. However, you could sort of see the beach from the place that we were at.
It was interesting; here was a group of maybe 40 people singing hymns, praying and listening to a sermon, while at the same time people walked by and were oblivious to the worship of the One who created all that they were seeing and enjoying.
Afterward, we had brunch at McDonald's and then went back and layed out on the beach for awhile.
We finished packing, checked out, and went to the airport  for our trip home.

Goodbye
 

The trip was long and uneventful.
We got back to Indy and said our goodbyes to Larry and Wanda.
We were home; the TRIP was over.
