Hi Susan
Sorry I woke you up last night
I promise I will keep the chattering down at night, Thankyou for the pictures of Gaby , she is so cute, what a sweetheart, I wish my daughter was still little, I miss that time so much.Glad to hear you got new tires on your car, so your driving safe.Did you and Katy meet up, do you live close to each other?
Hi Cristi
There is always so much to do when you buy new. My yard is narrow only 35 ft but its 300 ft, long, I have a start on the front yard ,but because of bad soil , we lost a lot of things we planted so this year we will truck in new soil and replace and finish it, the backyard will take a lot more time, we did a wrap around porch from the side door all across the back of the house,a few years ago, and we have a few finishing touches to do ,but its a beautiful place to sit out on in warm weather. I think its never ending keeping up with home maintenance,no matter how much you do , there is always something else.Is the dining room table to replace the one in the Christmas pictures, Are you keeping the wood finish,in a modern stlye.I am getting the urge to repaint when I moved in I didn't know what I wanted so I finally settled for a taupe shade, I am thinking of painting the top of the living room walls, "red" and below the wainscotting the panelling cream . I haven't decided yet , I don't know if I'm that brave anymore, I will do a sample wall first and them decide. I am longing for colour , my other house was yellows , peaches , blues and greens it was floral and colourful. When I moved my choices were completely different , maybe it was my state of mind. I like the neutral colouring but I would love some colour to, if the red fails the test I will just do it with flowers. Paint I can change furniture and accessories I can't not for a very very long time.I did the bedrooms with 6" wide plank floors and I stained them myself with a dark mahogany , they came out pretty nice, Because of all the pets, I went for a hard surface in all rooms, the hallways bathrooms and kitchen are tile and the living room and bottom landing and stairs are stone and the upper landing and stairs are stone, the main staircase stairs are painted wood with a runner, I use area rugs to soften,certain areas , but I find its easier to keep everything clean and sanitary with the hard surfaces. Corian will be nice for your countertops, thats a great surface for kitchens and bathrooms. It will be nice when you get everything finished the way you want it, hopefully it dosen't take you five years though, I can only do things a bit at a time, I do what I can myself, thats why its taking so long, I never realized how much I would appreciate my bedroom set. See once I get started on this topic I can't stop
Did you manage to get some reading done?
Hi Pam
Sorry about the business with your sister, you certainly have your hands full with unpleasant situations, of late,I had a friend like that who I desperatly wanted and tried to help , it almost destroyed me, and the friend just moved on to friends who enabled the situation. Its very difficult dealing with people like that no matter how much you love and care about their well being.I hope you gained some of the Peace Love and alcohol
just kidding, maybe its Haagen dozs ice cream I'm not sure,I hope Eddie is on his way home soon. Hope all is well with you (((HUGS)))
Hi Katy

How is the play going and which one are you doing now,? Milo is so cute Angie , he is precious,as is Maddie, pictures soon , Hope your having a great evening.

Hi Sue
How are you? are you in the sunshine or in the deep freeze with most of us, I hope everything in your family is well.
Hi Julie
Sorry to hear your still struggling with your friends attitudes, its unfortunate they don't realize how hard good friends are to come by. It will be their loss, if you decide enough is enough, I hope everything else in your life is going well,
Hi Katie
