| Lumber Hauler |
Last night I was sooo very tired
that I fell asleep on MY sofa at 11 p.m.!
Doc woke me at midnight to say he was heading for bed. After that one-hour nap, I was
recharged and cranked on various projects until 4:30 a.m.
This morning my goal was to make
significant progress on the Penny Palace Walking Tourbook. Doc had other plans … he wanted me to
work with him in the detached garage.
He was determined to get the pile of long lumber pieces transported and
stacked in the dungeon.

By Noon I had to get working on the
Walking Tourbook. My goal was to
get a rough outline in place by 2 p.m. to email to a friend for a basic
review. At 1:15 the La Z Boy truck
arrived. Doc’s recliner, sofa and
loveseat were carried into place.
Hope he likes them.
George was one of the delivery guys. I
thanked him for his delivery to the Penny Palace, gave him a Penny Card and
gave him the very short version of ‘the story’. He left and I went back to work. A few minutes later he rang the doorbell and asked for a
signature he had forgotten to get.
His comment, “And while I am here, you said you were an engineer and I
have this idea ….” I cringed at
what he might say, so I asked the Angels for an open mind and answers if
needed. George told me his idea
and we had a good brainstorming session for 2-3 minutes. I think he was inspired as he left
saying, “I have a feeling it was no COINcidence that we met today”.

| Ideas for PP Walking Guidebook |
***************
For the
next two hours I worked on the Walking Tour Guidebook. By 5 p.m. I needed a break! I was expecting someone at 6 p.m. so I
made a very quick trip to hand-deliver 3 invitations, take another batch for
mailing, and collect three pennies.
(Coins #1-3) I was back
home within 30 minutes to take a quick shower and prepare my documents.
***************
My mom had
some pork loins which were about to spoil, so she offered to prepare and
deliver them to us. Also to serve
as a “Thanks” for making her stay here during those few days after her knee
injury. She prepared a real,
home-cooked meal! (A rarity in
this house). Of course it meant
that the stovetop was dirtied.

| Mom Makin' Dinner |
Around 9:45 p.m. Mom and I ‘hit the
streets’ to deliver the first of the Neighborhood Potluck Flyers. That was a very foolish thing to do in
the dark. I forgot to take a
flashlight and tripped on an entryway step. Went down on both hands and knees. Ouch!
We did meet one new couple who said
for sure they would be at the potluck.
They had not even opened their envelope yet! I will consider that the first official RSVP. Yipee!

Doc collected one penny with his
early morning coffee run, then three pennies during his lunch run. (Coins #4-7)
Total: 7 Pennies
