I woke up to a downpour this morning. The slanted ceiling in my room is apparently directly to the outside. It has been a while since I have been able to hear rain beating on the roof-a sound I have always enjoyed.
There are no teams this week or next. That means there is less to do. After tending to the morning beverages (coffee, iced tea, ice water, ice bucket), I began cleaning one of the stoves, doing the burners and stove tops and spraying the oven to finish later.
The day at the thrift shop was slow: not a lot of customers. The rain had stopped by the time we opened at 10. At first it seemed to be getting muggy, then it clouded over again, which made the temperature more enjoyable. I tended the cash register all day so that David could unpack boxes from a truck and decide prices, etc. This is something I will work into: right now, he needs me where I am.
Yesterday, Roger went fishing in the gulf. He got some black bream (I think) which I enjoyed. Today he fixed blackened catfish, which I did not care for. He told me there were other ways to fix catfish, and I agreed to try them, if we have a chance.
He is returning to Belise in a couple of weeks. He and his wife are expecting their first child.
After working, I folded the kitchen towels from the dryer, heated and ate supper, then cleaned up the dishes and proceeded to finish the stove. When that was done, I cleaned the second stovetop and sprayed the other oven which I will finish in the morning after doing beverages.
Tomorrow is my day off. There is Bible study at 10, doctors appointment at 11:30
then plans for some of the ladies to show me around the town. We will see where that gets us.
