Strength and KIndness

Today I woke up to another day of rain with a forecast that seemed to indicate it would be drizzling all day.  I resolved to do what I could under cover.  I went out and brought up the plastic bins I intend to convert to nesting boxes, worked on my picture of James and Patricia and planned what I would need in terms of plywood.  I had an appointment to meet with Christine Peters for ministering report with Sister Perry and I arranged to pick up Adam and Calvin and go to Home Depot afterward.  A mixup in the plywood pricing involved the man who had cut the plywood who offered a steep discount because of the confusion.  I got the plywood panel I needed for under 15 dollars.  Earlier in the day I had forestalled disaster by transferring funds from my emergency account into the checking account.  I stopped by Wendy's and got shakes and sandwiches for my helpers and stopped by Smith's to take advantage of a sale on butter as well as getting some pork rinds and some rubbing alcohol for my painting.  In the afternoon the girls came up and cleaned and worked on stained glass and I stabilized the coop platform and my three grandsons who are weightlifters lifted the coop onto the platform.  So a lot more was accomplished than I had anticipated.
