Thunder
A bit of thunder today with rain showers. More rain may be in the works.
Dennis had used the pull-behind rake on Sunday over the acre. It had really perked up the yards. After today’s shower of rain . . . it really looks as if our groundskeeper will be hired for the entire season.
A package of beef meatballs had been kicked around in the freezer long enough. I finished a package of medium egg noodles, quartered the meatballs, added a cup of frozen mixed vegetables and rounded it all with a quart of Classico flavored red sauce. An oven meal ready to pop in later on today.
I was busy in the studio when I got a phone call. The sheetrock around the walk in shower was going to get the last coat of mud. The worker that has been doing the mudding after Mr. Aden had patched in the sheetrock is a young fellow. Mason was going to do two years of trade school for carpentry. Covid shut down the classes and Mason was given the two year certificate. How Mason got hooked up with Aden I don’t know. Mason is learning the trade from the best carpenter in town. Mason is working at our home independently in our bathroom as well as another install that Watson’s had done.
Today when Mason was going to leave, I invited him down into the studio so he could meet me, his client, in her natural habitat. He said he would be back tomorrow to do the wet sanding and Mr. Aden would be popping in before Mason primed the area of the mudding. Checks and balances for the young apprentice. What a great way for a young person to learn the trade. I really applaud Mr. Aden in helping this young fellow to get a great start. Mason is very comfortable to be around. I am hoping we can remain in our forever home long enough to be able to say, “I remember when Mason was just getting his feet on the ground.”
With supper planned, I am going to head back into the studio to stitch a bit more. Dennis is busy in the garage making tidy his workbench top. We both have our special places to then come together for the evening. Sweet.
