Fathers Day with Evie, Repair Screen Door, and Kitty Love

Saturday Amber hosted dinner

at her house for the family, 

for Fathers Day.

Caleb and his family could

not come because he had

been out cutting tabbcco and

was not feeling well.

Will and two of his boys were 

there, and Brayden was there with 

Evie and Hannah.

Evie was full of herself.  

  

 

We had homemade BBQ, potato salad and 

baked beans. I made a Boston Cream Pie

Cake. Sorry, forgot to take a pic.

Afterwards, Trivial Pursuit came out.

Things are just not made as well

as they used to be and after the

snows over the winter, I started

having issues with my screen door.

As you opened, it would drag, pulling

on the frame and causing

 the rubber piece

that holds the screen in to pop 

out. I have been

saying I would get to it 

and finally did

on Friday. I took a 

good look at it

and realized that where 

it was glued

together was coming apart. 

I tried pushing

it back together but that was 

not working,

I needed something more 

permanent, something

that would keep that area 

together. So I 

picked up some corner 

brackets to pull and 

hold it together.

I wanted black but all I could find 

in the stores was silver and I had

to get that, but I spray painted it black, 

giving it a better look than the silver

would.

There were eight corners that needed

a bracket, I applied one to each corner.

It is holding great!

I love the sound of the wooden

screen slamming and now it 

slams without dragging. 

Once the brackets

were put in place, 

I took the tool for 

for replacing the rubber

strip that holds the screen

in place and fixed that, 

insuring that the cats

stay in. Up till fixing

that, I had a box in front of

the door 

to prevent the girls

from breaking out. 

Lily is the one

I worry about, but this

one would not 

go far at all, she 

has never tried to 

escape.

 

She loves her mom

time!

Have a great day,

Pam
