It's Really Tuff To Be OLD................

as our tired old bodies told us this morning! Yesterday both B and I went on a "clean up" spree..........we just had the carpet and furniture cleaned on Thursday so Becky went nutso on squaring out all the corners. I couldn't stand to watch her cleaning things up so I went outside to hide. While there I decided it was time to clean out the gutters before the rains arrived. Good idea; but, I should have found some high school kid to do it for me! For longer than I care to think about it was up the ladder, clean out a few feet of the gutter, then down the ladder, move the ladder, then back up the ladder, etc. etc. It took quite a while. I was hesitant to climb on the roof and clean the gutters.........thinking that if I sat down up there I probably would have problems getting back up again. Anyway the knee held up with my up and down trips; but, boy was I ever SORE this morning. Becky was the same way from scrubbing the floor on hands and knees. Then I pruned up the tree limbs overhanging the patio and cleaned them up. Started to weed eat around the fence; but, gave up on that.

Only bright spot of the day was our afternoon run to the casino........I invested $20 and cashed in a slip for $242.40. That almost made me even from the last week or so!

Now time to get M/H ready for a little speed run up North. Shouldn't take much though and we'll be ready to hit the road for a week or so. Then back home and load up for our annual run for warmer weather in the South.

That's it for now. There's a geocaching event in Redding on Sunday to celebrate 10-10-10 and we might drive up for that; but, not sure if we'll go at this time.

More later. W&B
