Monday 4-22 Spring Cleaning

Having fun doing this and that

We had a fun day of doing this and that.

Larry started the day out by blowing the leaves off of the rocks around the house. There was a lot of leaves, afterwards he mowed the yard to help mulch the leaves. When he was blowing the leaves I decided to clean the back porch railing. It was filthy because of the oak tree pollen and dirt. It took me an hour and a half. We try to clean the railing a couple times a year.

On Saturday Larry tore the dryer apart to find out what was wrong with it. He found that a plastic pulley had broke which caused the dryer to stop. He ordered a new pulley, spring and belt. The parts arrived today. After lunch he replaced the parts and reassembled the dryer. Before he put the door on the dryer he manually rotated the drum around to make sure it worked, it was making a noise. The new belt was a little smaller than the old one and this caused the pulley to rub. He removed the new belt and put the old one back on and the noise went away. He finished putting the dryer back together and then we moved it back into the utility room. I'm back in business, the dryer works.

In the evening we went to Sun City to dance with the Sundancers. The plus class starts at 5:00. We had six squares. Brad went through another move, which was Load the Boat. We had three squares for the dance. We had five couples for the A tip. We had a super time dancing to Brad and with friends.
