Catching up a little
Hi everyone!
I have been so-o-o busy these past few days. I feel well but I am still blowing my nose and coughing a lot. Don't know if one round of antibiotic is going to do the trick. I need Dr Rick to tell me if I need more. Thanks Mom, I just heard you tried to bring me soup when I was sick but Bill (The Phone Nazi as he is also known)thought it would be best for you not to come by and catch my whatever. I would have liked some soup. Oh well...
Anyway this weekend we started the Brian Drake Home Makeover Harrison/Drake/Walters style. The ceilings had been replaced over the past several months and this week we had them textured. Friday we tore out the old kitchen, Saturday and Sunday we put in new kitchen cabinets and countertops, painted the Living room, entry, kitchen, and hall. Installed crown moulding, new light fixtures and fans and tore out the carpet and vinyl flooring in those rooms. We had picnics of Tacos, Pizza, Fried Chicken and Doughnuts in the front yard. All this was happening while the merchant Kelly was conducting a massive garage sale across the street. It was really a lot of fun. I am unsure of how long the momentum will continue. We still have to install kitchen sink (a job which was abandoned late last night due to very tired people and a flame on the end of a soldering gun that wanted to burn holes in the back of the new cabinets)(REAL plumber coming this afternoon), install over the range microwave, put a few more coats of paint on the front door and touchup paint all over of course. Then we are also going to install wood laminate flooring in all the rooms except bedrooms and bath. After that we have a paint and spruce up job over at Kelly's to do, and I would love for my tree house to get built this summer. Also I have been promising myself I would get over to Mom's and do something to her kitchen and dining areas.
Bill and I go to Oshkosh in a little over a week I think so I guess I should be thinking about that.
Ainslie and Rick, I miss you just knowing you are too far away to run over and see! I hope you had a great drive and are enjoying the change of scenery.
Dee, good to hear from you! Maybe you can get Mom to help you with the curtains? She is crafty like that.
Mom, when are you leaving or are you gone?
Well, I must run, need to clean before the cleaning team gets here and then off the the project for the afternoon! Love to all OH! Dee, can't wait to get see your movie. I'll try to look at it tonight. Char
