I have an old license plate from Kenya. I decided to spruce it up. Gave it a good scrub and sprayed it with white primer paint. Today, I masked off the letters and numbers so I could spray it pink.

Scary Pumpkin doing its job.

Ashley had to get some work done on her jeep. She came over with the girls. Always a blessing! I haven’t had nearly enough Ashley in my life.

I told them today we were studying tape and spray paint.

I shot my plate pink.

I taught them how to spray with a can. Short sprays. Always moving.

We sprayed the leaves metallic silver.

Always fun.

I loved seeing the girls with their hair pulled away from their faces.

This has been our theme song this week.

Always great to have Kathy around.

We went on a hike up Stone Mountain. I stayed with Everly.

Everly wanted me to take pictures of the cactus. I thought the moss was gorgeous as well.

Little over 2.5″ the last two days.

Got the case I bought with my phone ready to take back. I already had a case that I bought on Amazon (for half the price!) on the way when I got this one. I just wouldn’t leave the store without the phone being in a case.

I got my new case in today to my house. Cleaned the screen in preparation for putting the new screen protector on in.

Got the new screen protector on my phone and the case ready to go! I feel I can breathe a sigh of relief then I’ve gotten a case and the screen protector on it.

We have Jesse’s car parked at my sister in law’s house. Today I went over there, jumped it off and drove it about 30 minutes. Should keep it in good working order. Drove great.

She looked like she was happy after the ride.

Talked to my Pastor John Weldon from Westside BC this morning. He gave me the good news that our church is going to give our ministry $2,000 in a lump sum. Thank you, Jesus!

My friend Selma and I went to the coin show in Marietta today. She had a coin collection that she wanted to sell. My friend Steve gave her a fair offer and she was happy. Although, for years she thought maybe those old coins would be worth major money. I looked through them and told her that wasn’t the case.

Everyone was required to wear masks. I felt pretty safe.
I liked the art at the Hilton where the event was held.

I bought a few Roman coins and got the Kenyan and East Africa coins from Selma’s collection. It didn’t affect the value of the collection at all.

It’s amazing how impressive the zoom in is on with my iPhone.

I thought this was interesting.

Had a short chat with my buddy Anthony.

I’ve enjoyed the Entangled Life book.

Kathy and I filled out our absentee voting. I’m kind of afraid that something won’t match and our votes won’t count.

I got some bows for the girls. Probably only Everly will wear them. We’ll see.

I started getting the new gear for the new phone. I usually get cases made from leather. This time I went with the synthetic.

I got the glass screen protector in. I’ll put this one when the case comes in tomorrow. I got a case at ATT because I’m so cautious even though I knew I had one on the way. They told me I could bring back the case I got at the store no problem.

My new phone takes some really big pictures.

Got the groceries.

Mushrooms started spouting around oak trees in my front yard. So beautiful.
