HELLO FRIENDS ~ We've continued unpacking a bit each day; trying to find things we need or want. I think I made it through all the boxes & totes we have upstairs at least. The guy came and hooked up my washing machine for me; so happy for that -- it's now upstairs in the room next to the kitchen which is very handy.
I tried my new washer out and it works fine; we had a small drip leak in the new hose connections -- just used a pipe wrench and tightened them up a bit and we were good to go. I did two test washes (one light load & one heavy one); and hung some out on a small line DH put up out back for me, and some on my indoor "angel" dryer rack -- yes, it really looks like an angel when it is set up.
We have had lovely,
weather the last two days; the nights were very cool (down to 40F which is a bit cold for September here). The geese went south early this year; I'm sure that was a sign of things to come. Many of the songbirds are gone now too; but we still have some blackbirds at our feeder the last few days. Guess they are filling up and bathing on our sunporch roof before heading south too.
RYLER ~ glad you found us over here; this is a great place for support and info too. Stick around as that helps a lot ...
LISA ~ 7 lbs is a great start; sure, that happens a lot at the beginning, but just keep going! Hey, I can't lift couches and furniture like that, and my DH knows it. You are not a man, and your DH knows that too; some women are stronger than others, that's all. Actually, when I try to help, DH gets annoyed with me cuz he's worried I may hurt myself, as sometimes I overdo it a bit. I just try to do what I am good at (cooking, cleaning, managing money, creativity, ideas & solving problems, laundry, sewing, planning & supervising, etc.,) and I did real good with the plumbing wrench yesterday.
GARY ~ and you are a big help to ANGIE around the house too; you do a lot of cleaning and laundry and cooking too. My DH helps me with the big lifting & moving stuff; and the floors. He's not that great at cooking but he usually makes his own breakfast which is a help; he does dishes now & then too; plus he's good at doing windows & walls -- and that is good. Of course, he does some minor repairs & the yard work, esp mowing the grass. We each do what we can ...
My sister, NUMPSTER, and her hubby, Steve; and one of brothers should arrive here sometime tomorrow. She had to work Friday so they had to delay coming up by one day. It will be nice to see them all. Have a great weekend everyone ... Rosebud
