Even though the morning was overcast and looked like rain, John and Matt headed off to the job.  The home owner wanted flower boxes built along with a few other things, so the guys worked on them since the needed shingles won't be in until next week.  John will have a few days off now so we hope to start laying out a pattern for the bathroom tile.

I kept busy this morning cleaning out the coat closet and getting the winter jackets washed and put away for summer.  I also cleaned out some drawers and found a few more items for the garage sale.  I keep thinking I have nothing left to sell, but somehow I manage to find a few more things every spring.

When we picked up the tile for the bathroom the other day, Home Depot didn't have enough of the end cap tiles we needed.  We were told they were on order and would be in yesterday.   John and I decided to take a run to Bemidji and pick up the tiles.  When we got to the tile aisle, we found the spot for end caps was still empty.  After talking to a sales person, we learned they wouldn't be in for at least another week or so.  He volunteered to call the Home Depot in Grand Rapids, found they had plenty in stock, and arranged for some to be shipped to their store next week.  Hopefully, they will be there by Thursday morning as I have a doctor's appointment at that time and can pick them up while I'm in town

John saw an ad in the paper from the local green house offering Mother's Day specials.  They are located just off the main highway, so while we were out running around, we stopped and picked up some tomato and pepper plants--now we need to keep them alive and healthy until we can get them in the ground.  John tilled the garden last night, so at least it's ready for planting. .

By the time we were finished at Home Depot, it was supper time, so we just went around the corner to grab a bite at Burger King.  From there we hit the road to home and spent a quiet evening watching some TV.
