Well, March came in like a lamb and went out like a lion. That refers not only to the weather but also the intensity of my school days.

We got the bathroom tile finished. Those of you with excellent eyes will notice that the tile still needs to be cleaned again to get the grout scum off the shiny white tile. At least we can use it again.

We had our golf tournament last Friday. Forty golfers participated and we had 3 sponsors for holes. We made about $3300. Mulligans! That is all I need to say to those who have tried making money on a tournament.

Sunday morning about 4 am we leave TCA for Raleigh to fly by two different routes to Phoenix. Most will fly to Salt Lake City and four of us will lay over at Memphis. We will spend five days at Holbrook Indian School. Friday we will experience the Grand Canyon then spend the weekend at Thunderbird Adventist Academy in Scotsdale. I haven't been there since 1963 or 1964. Sunday night we fly to JFK in New York, arriving at about sunrise, then on to Raleigh Monday morning. If the wind is from the right direction, we will fly over the Statue of Liberty and see the sun hitting the sky scrapers as we land at JFK.

Well Carrie, because you didn't get to help me redo the bathroom, here is how it is done.

First strip all the walls of old material. Then clean the tub using a single-edged razor blade, followed by stripper scrubbed with 000 steel wool, followed by very fine wet/dry sandpaper and finished with denatured alcohol.

Have Cheri convince you to replace the faucets with new and very shiny ones. See how the new shower head will be firmly attached to the wall!

Do a pressure check on the installed fixtures before closing them in the wall and tile.

Then put up the wallboard.

Decide to change the drain, requiring a plumbing job along with the tub refinishing. But now I am out of screws and can't finish putting up the backing board for the tile.

Next time, Repainting the Tub.
