~~Tea Talk~~

There is no trouble so great or grave that cannot 

be much diminished by a nice cup of tea.

~Bernard-Paul Heroux~

I'm having...my favorite Good Earth Tea.

My teacup...is one I got at Kohl's.  It's a bright mug for an early morning.

I'm feeling...glad the counter tops are in.  I was able to cook in the kitchen last night for the first time in weeks.  I made Mexican Pizza and brownies!!!  Oh what fun that was!

On my mind...getting more organized and preparing to clean the entire house after all this remodeling.  It is such a MESS!!!!

It only took the gentlemen who installed the counter top 2 hours to do this job.  They were very professional and the workmanship is excellent.

~~~^j^~~~

Thanks be to God!

Now won't you join me and visit Ruth at Celebrate Friendship is hosting Tea Talk at her house?  Share a cup of tea or a cool refreshing drink with us.

~Tea Talk~

If you are cold, tea will warm you.  

If you are too heated, it will cool you. 

If you are depressed, it will cheer you. 

If you are excited, it will calm you. 

~Gladstone, 1865~

I'm having...Constant Comment tea with a bit of Splenda to sweeten the beginning of this new day.

My teacup...Is a glass of orange juice right now, but the kettle is on.

I'm feeling...excited because I was able help by sanding the drywall and I removed the wallpaper.  I decided to take it down, reluctantly, because I was it would be faded or yellowed so that what I had left from having put up would not match.  Later yesterday after I had gotten it all down I found the roll that was left.......When I compared the two, old and new, I found there was no change in color. (SIGH)  Oh, well, live and learn (still!)!!!Another of life's lessons:  Even in the zeal to be prepared, always check the wallpaper with the leftover paper.  So now, I'll be wallpaper shopping!

On my mind...What color paint do I want in the kitchen and since I like the blue plaid wallpaper, will I be able to get something like it that I like?

Wishing all a wonderful Thursday!!

My teacup...I found this searching for something else this morning and thought it a good idea to use it. 

I'm feeling...excited about the weekend.  They are finishing the wiring in the kitchen.  The drywall will be up and in place and the "mud 'n' tape" done.  I think I'll shop for paint! 

 Before...

After...(and more to come)

On my mind...still is my preparation for the RCIA presentation I will give this Sunday along with the preparation for the discussion of this Sunday's scripture reading.  I always need prayer!

Wishing all a wonderful Thursday!!

NOT A Lost Weekend!!!!!

Well, will you look at this!


Even though we're not in INDY this weekend we have lots to do. It's best to get things done at home.

1. Finish setting up computer accounts for Indiana Meteorite Lab (have put this off as long as I can. Woe to those who procrastinate!)

2. Get the car washed and cleaned. We will be picking up family and friends at the INDY airport for Marianne and Eric's wedding in October...

3. Work on some photo projects, especially pictures of the Women's Ice Cream Social at church.

4. Of course, there is still the laundry. It never goes away for the weekend.

5. And preparation for Bible Study tomorrow night at the DeCastr's.

Well, from my corner of the world, have a great weekend. Mine already is!

~~~^j^~~~

Thanks be to God!

Another Remodeling Update...

Welcome to the world of remodeling. I can tell you this project is going much more smoothly than either Ron or I could have imagined. As a matter of fact they measured for the carpet and soon we'll have a comfortable room in which to gather.

~~~^j^~~~

Thanks be to God!

Remodeling Update...

Because The Dutchess was interested in knowing how the family room remodeling was going thought I'd send a quick pic.

Ron cut this piece of drywall out of one sheet. No piecing, looks nice and clean...Good job, Ron! A work of art to me...though others may see it otherwise.

~~~*^*^*~~~
Again, thanks be to God!

What happens...

What happens when you find
you're not flying high...

in First Class anymore? You see that the summer is waning
and the sun is rising later and setting sooner, what happens?

Well, in our case, Ron decides now is the best time
to remodel the Family Room.
So on Saturday about noon, because it
was cool and not so humid,

off came the paneling. Yes, we were off
to the friendly, neighborhood Lowe's.

By last evening he had two wall insulated and
and had dry wall in place.

THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS
here.

~~~~~~

I believe the carpet is next to go
so I won't have any reason for
Stanley Steamer to come
and clean it.

I'm here to wish you all a
GRAND week
and stay tuned!
Who know what might happen
NEXT!

~~~^j^~~~

Thanks be to God!
