We will be going to Richards for Easter, so we are really excited about that. The mowing is done, It only took two mornings to get all four lots cleaned up and mowed. We still need to finish the fenced in portion, where the dogs go, but that shouldn't be to hard. It should go faster next time, and be a little easier too. My brother, Richard, has a rider mower, he is having worked on, for us to use. We had to do the whole thing with a push type this time. We are really tired and stiff, but it's over.  Now we can relax and enjoy looking at the yard. So Let it rain tomorrow The inside of the house is a different story though. We have the living room painted, and are dragging our feet on the window trim, cause those will be replaced this summer. We are also waiting till we get to Tonyas, to get a carpet she is giving us. That should be big enough to do the living room floor. (I hope) We have the bigger bedroom done except for the windows. All the windows in the house will need to be replaced. We have those replacements in the garage, just waiting for some muscle to help. I have a door on order for the back. The one that is there, is shot, and I'll be closing that off completely, and moving the new back door to the smaller bedroom. The back entry will be converted to a part of the bathroom, and will house the washer and dryer. There will also be closets in there, half will be for the linins, and half will be opened up on the other side for the bigger bedroom. The existing closet in that bedroom is half of the closet that now is in the living room. That whole thing will be removed, and that area will be included in the living room space. The ceiling in the bathroom is painted, and the two faucets have been replaced. There is a tub surround that will be put up for the shower area, and we need to remove some old tiles from the walls in that part. We finally got the piano taken out. My bed even fits in that bedroom now LOLOL Jaime has donated two beds for us, one single which is waiting to be picked up at moms, and another (double) that she plans to bring down at Easter. It sure will be nice to have permanent beds, instead of rollaways. The rollaways are more comfortable than I remember rollaways to be, though. We brought the couch and loveseat in from the garage. They have a southwestern theme pattern on them. There were a couple of holes from mice, in the cushions, but we'll get those fixed one of these days. The holes aren't really big, so they are fixable. We also brought one of the entertainment centers in from the garage, and one of the end tables. There are a lot of goodies out there, that are included with the house. Everyone has been donating things, all the houshold stuff is donated by the family. Gloria and Mom and Shannon, have been on the lookout for things for several months. Gloria donated the dinnette set, and Richard has paid for the appliances, and Rob has a dryer and several other items for us, at his place. Mom has given us all kinds of canned and boxed goods. Shannon brought a whole car load of groceries for us. Mom, Shannon, and Gloria have been bringing curtains, towels, washcloths, sheets and blankets. Dishes and silverware, and almost anything else we could possibly imagine. Tonya had a long vertical blind, she has given us. Everyone has donated paint and cleaning products. i'm sure glad we didn't have to buy any of that stuff. As it is money is in short supply. Hopefully that will begin to even out from now on too. Life is great. We are so Blessed to have such a great family. It would have been so hard to do all this, without them. I just know I've missed some things, but you get the idea. Well that's the update as of now. Have a great Easter everyone. |
