Commuting

Now that we have bikes, we will be in shape soon. There has been some talk of riding them to work, since the new job is only 3 miles away. Of course, this evening it is too cold and wet to go out riding, so here we sit at home as always. It supposed to be nicer weather tomorrow... we'll get in shape then.

They had me singing at church again on Sunday. It really is quite enjoyable. Something about Thursday night practices makes me full of energy and ready to go. Sunday mornings are that way too, but not as much.

We are getting busier at work again. It is quite welcome, as there was a bit of worry around the shop as to how slow things had been. It seems the housing market in our area is not hit as hard as some places. We have been doing a lot of commercial jobs, and we also are selling a tremendous amount of replacement doors. It used to be that our sales were 95% or greater new construction; now, more than 50% is replacement doors. Many people are simply getting nicer looking doors, so if you want a good used door now is the time to call Pop.

Our grass is growing nicely. Our soil is very poor, and in some areas we have almost no topsoil. With all the rain we have been blessed with lately, the grass is really shooting up, albeit some places much better than others. I mowed on Saturday for the first time this year, while Amy went to Longwood Gardens with her sister.
