Relaxation In Pictures Again

We are keeping busy working in the house, outside the house and in the barn. The week is flying by. We begin revival Sunday at Anchor of Hope in Lebanon, Ohio and the following Sunday is Homecoming next door at Dodds. We are looking forward to these meeting and other events that are going on too.

It was wonderful to be at home last night at Dryden Rd. Bro. Bennie preached me under conviction and I am happy to say that he did. I love when a preacher talks to my heart with a Word from the Lord.


Today I have some more Relaxation In Pictures. I have a few more pictures from vacation. Since Odie did not have her phone most of the trip, I allowed her to carry my phone. Having a phone with her kept her from getting the shakes. She took a bunch of these pictures.

Hubbard is 7 1/2 miles across.





The beauty is breathtaking.

Odie and Lisa's cabin















This is the last picture I took on vacation. It was in the Seattle airport. I noticed this pet bathroom as I was going up the escalator.


This world is going to the dogs!

Thank you for dropping in today.

A Corner Table With a View Please

Part of our original plan for the house included a built in bench with storage and a small table in the kitchen. Otherwise one corner could end up being wasted space. Hey, corners are people too. 

There is room for small dining table between the island and the living room, if the furniture is placed correctly, but all Odie needs is something small.

After the cabinets were installed last summer, I took the Green Machine material hauling apparatus and purchased the material.


I framed the benches with 2x4's and then skinned them with the extra shiplap I had made for the ceiling.




I made the seats out of plywood and put them on piano hinges to open up the benches for storage.




Here is Kelly Jo and Lisa trying the bench out with a plywood table.😀


It became the "eating place" in the house pretty quick.


Pastor Scott Morris makes super great looking Farmhouse type tables and I asked him last year if he would make a custom table for Odie that would fit in this spot. He came up with a great design perfect for the space. It is well built!



He presented it to Odie last spring when we were down there in Mississippi.



I strapped it down in the tent trailer and eventually it finally arrived in Ohio.





Kelly's Dad painted the table with the white and blue cabinet colors Odie had chosen and it looks fabulous!


Odie has access to the table in her wheel chair from the side or from the end.


Before the table was painted we covered the unfinished wood with cardboard and later pieces of the vinyl flooring. That allowed us to east many, many meals at the table without staining the wood with salsa!


We shared some more salsa at Odie's table last night for supper! So good!

Thank you for taking time to stop by today.
