Well here I am at at this silly old computer and it is 2:42am. Wed. 2012. What am I doing up you might ask? Darn good question and I am not sure but just couldn't sleep and was afraid I would wake Wendy up so slid out of bed and came down her to the old computer. We went to bed about 10:30pm. but I seemed to be awake about ever hour. I should be tired as I had a busy day yesterday.
Got up at 6:15am. Tuesday morning. We have a prayer group that gets together every Tuesday at 7:15am. I usually go buy some doughnuts at the bakers here in town .They open at 6:30am. Then I go to the church and make coffee for the guys so they have hot coffee when they get there. This morning we only had 8 guys. Usually we get 9 or 10. We pray for our church and church family and any other request that the men have. They are an awesome bunch of men with a real  Heart for a God. We try to be finished about 8:30 but most of the time it goes past 9am.
I came home right after and got a phone call from a company that ordered a canopy and running boards for my truck to tell me that they were in. He asked when I could bring in my truck and I said how about right now? He hesitated for a minute and then said can you hold on for a sec. and I'll see how busy the guys are. He came back on in a minute or 2 and said the guys said they can do it right away so come on in, it will only take about 2 hours. So off I went to Lethbridge. It takes about 18 minutes to get there. When I got there he said that it might take a little longer because the guys go for lunch at noon. I got there about 10 am. and the guy said to be safe maybe come back about 2pm. So that meant 4 hours not 2. Oh well I walked across the street to Zeller's and wondered around there for a while and then Canadian Tire is in the same building so checked that out. I couldn't find anything in either store to buy so went and sat in the little mall for about half an hour and they called at 1pm. and said come and get my truck.
Walked back and picked up Gizmo. Had to pay of course. (Boy he sure looks different) but nice. all decked out with the canopy and new shinny running boards.
Drove home and had lunch at Eddies restaurant here in Picture Butte. Then came home and put a coat of Clear Coat on a counter that I am building Kristy and Bob for their kitchen. Finished that and then put the plywood on the top and screwed that down. Ran to Home Hardware and got 4 corner irons and some screws for the counter and put them on. Then I cut the Arborite  for the top and prepared that with contact cement. While It was drying I cut a back splash and shaped a piece of pine for the front edge. Put the arborite on and cut more for the back splash and put that on. I got a call from the church that they had a problem there so I walked to the church to see if I could help there. Came back and cleaned up the shop(Garage) so Wendy could put her car in when she got home. Figured I'd call it a day and as it was getting to 7pm I was getting hungry also. So that was my day.. I put a couple of pictures of Gizmoe on here so you can see the (NEW LOOK.)
Well that's all for now. I pray that you will all have a great day and God Bless you all.

Wow...I got tired just reading this! ha ha..you had a busy day, babe. I love Gizmo's new look - he is even more handsome now ;-) I hate that you were up in the night - I'm sorry. You should have woken me. Kristy and Bob will love the countertop, I'm sure.

I love you sooooo much!!
