Today, well at least this afternoon, has been a day of rest in the Jenkins household. I declared later last week that we would rest. . .no matter what the weather did. Sunday we would get some rest. Sundays should be filled with faith, family, and rest. We haven’t observed that rest part in quite some time.
I thought scribble down some goings on just to keep you all in the loop.
- I said the day was a day of rest- THIS afternoon because:
1) I woke up at 1 something this morning. Our old bed left me so achy that I got up and went to the living room to sleep. I never do that.
2) We got to church and there was no power. So, after arranging chairs/hymnals/etc into the Narthex, we had our monring services by windo light and piano.
3) Since the church service was a bit warm, we needed something to drink. We stopped at the convenience store for a fountain coke and donuts (Shame, Shame, I know but the donut shop was right next door.) We wound up having a leak on the truck. . . Cody said it was a major antifreeze leak. I start thinking the worse. . . we’ve spent so much getting the trailer ready at the deer lease that the thought of a repair bill stopped me in my tracks. It turned out to be a hose that came loose. We walked over to Lowe’s for hose clamps, screwdrivers, and pliers (Cody’s tools were in the other truck from our trip to the deer lease yesterday.) Cody fixed the problem in the convienence store parking lot.
So, the day did not start of normal at all.
- Watched the Royals win again today! They’ve one 5 out of 6. That’s been fun. Now, it’s football games and hunting shows on TV.
- I start my new photography class tomorrow (Karen Russell’s) and I’m super excited about that.
- Cody and I are being sure to get some rest today because it’ll be a busy week. My class starts and Cody has an Elder’s meeting tomorrow. Then, next weekend, Cody has big hunting plans with some old college roommates. (I’m still finger crossed that it all works out ok for him.) I’m trying to figure out what I want to do next weekend.
- I mentioned my jelly roll purchases last weekend. I can’t wait to start sewing them into a quilt. But, first I need to finish a few other sewing projects including curtains for the deer lease trailer.
- We’ve got the trailer all painted- Olympic Morning Fog (my favorite color). We’ve started moving stuff in and it’s nearing it’s final stages for this deer season’s preperations. Can’t wait to have it done! Here’s a few fuzzy pics of the trailer just to prove it’s nothing fancy. Though we’ve poured our work into the inside and it looks much better than the outside at this point. (We’ll clean up the outside- when the water gets figured out- and someday paint it too!)
(You can see all the mess we have outside of it too! Can’t wait until we can burn and quit looking like white trash in the yard.)

White trash on the hunting lease…is there a better place? LOL!! I think it’s gonna be great! Does the roof leak? Wondering about the tarp…dh put something on the roof of our motor home (that we used to have…a 70 something winnie..and that was in the late 90′s..LOL!) so if you need to know what that was holler and I’ll ask him. Can’t wait to see some pics of the inside! You will so enjoy having that. I love ours…glad we had it to live in this summer…that was a lifesaver! Okay, I’m rambling…still voting for chrome paint on the outside along with a hillbilly airstream sign…LOL
We’re still thinking Chrome for the outside. As far as we know we don’t have any leaks. Tarps are just the fashionable attire at the deer lease. Eventually, we’re going to build a tin cover and porch. But given the cost of tin these days- that’s going to wait.
