Drier and Azalea!

Tim A. Cummins @ 10:14 pm  

Yes! It’s working! Turned out to be a sensor issue. $35 wasn’t bad to fix it! Now how do I get out of here?
d

Finished my financial report and dropped it off at my treasurer’s house.

Jesse and I also went to the dentist today for a cleaning. He had one cavity. The doctor was able to go ahead and fill it. He said my teeth were great!
t

Jesse and I went by to see Bayo. He had a great trip, but his wife hasn’t been well. He’s going to go back to NYC to make sure she’s taking care of.

Checked on the kids at the mission. they seemed to have had a good Thanksgiving.

Had some fun today. Found this on the side of the road. Groovy!

Non-drying dryer and Willow Branch

Tim A. Cummins @ 7:38 pm  

Most of my day was spent trying to get our dryer working. It still spins but stopped heating up.

I called my appliance repair guy, went to Lowes to check with them, then drove to Tucker to talk to the guys that sold it to me, just under a year from today (Dec 4th!) So I still had a warranty for labor, just have to buy the part.

Jesse and I put the dryer in the van and I drove it over there. Glad to get them working on it.

I was called this evening to tell me that the sensor went bad and that I can pick it up Tuesday morning.

Jesse and I also drove over to Willow Branch. He taught his guitar class while Bennett and I talked about situations at the missions.
j

I finished my financial report this afternoon and took the hard copy to my treasurer. Wrote the end of the month checks and we dropped them off at the Post Office on the way to the mission.

Crummy, drizzly weather today. But we had a lovely sunset yesterday!
m
And a full moon too!

Jesse’s fish had babies. Cool!

I’m still trying to figure out why these con trails form like this. Air flow?

Mailout and Willow

Tim A. Cummins @ 7:15 pm  

Been working all day long on my Christmas project. Burning CDs and getting everything I need for the calendar.
e
Always something!

Didn’t sleep that well last night. Back was hurting me. Not sure why.

Jesse and I went to Willow Branch to check on the kids.
j

No one was there! Guess they’re on the holiday schedule. We’ll have our session tomorrow afternoon at Azalea and that will be the last for us this week.

Went by the bus station to check on Bayo. He’s headed to see his family back in New Jersey tomorrow morning. He rides the Chinese bus! I’m glad he’s going to see his loved ones.

Still working on the archiving process.

Take a look at the button called “Tim’s Books” if you’re interested!
