Nuttin' New

Just hanging out----trying to stay warm. Out this AM---In this PM sitting by the fireplace w/the "3 dogmigos" on my lap. What a worthless foursome we make.

Happy New Year---keep healthy, stay safe and in touch.

Love, Mom

Putzing

Mass this AM, volunteered at rectory, ran some errands, washed the car (drive thru car wash) and limbering up to get ready to get more inside winter chores completed. Really difficult to stay focused today---temp is 71 degrees,  sun brightly shining, no clouds, slight breeze. Feel I should go out and check for daffodils.
Replaced all the switch plates and heater floor vents. Also, replaced the shower rings on shower curtains. Lots of help from the posse.

Think I am done----just noticed the Pinstripe Bowl started---K-State/Syracuse---K-State, Daniel Thomas just got a TD in less than 30 seconds into game----call me done w/this Blog.

Stay healthy, safe, and keep in touch.

Love, Mom

Turkeys and Painting...

Keep catching glances of the wild turkeys in the back field. They are not the brightest birds on the block. Why do they think they can sneak past our place? These pictures actually were on the run due to barking varmints at the fence line. I do think the turkeys could take the "boys" but keep their distance because of annoyance of all the ruckus and barking.

Mass and volunteer at rectory this AM. Run a couple of errands and then home to finish the painting. Really am happy w/the color---just want to get it done. Will probably take a nap this afternoon. Was up at 4:15AM, couldn't sleep, fed the "boys" and am now watching them nap. 

Stay healthy, safe, and keep in touch.

Winter Projects

Almost done w/the painting. Someone please intervene if I mention tearing off wallpaper---painting is okay--wall prep following wallpaper removal  is the pits. Really work intensive but love the color.

Needing more sunlight in the hallway and decided would use fireplace screens instead of pet gates. What do you think? Talk about different. That is what I am about----different!!!

Got some wonderful pics of VA grandchildren today. Brought a smile to my face. What cute kids! How great is that!!!

Stay healthy, safe, in touch,

Love, Mom

Merry Christmas

Busy Day

 Mass this AM, more painting to do---makes one wonder how big is that bathroom anyway?...What goes on in the head (will have it done in a day or two) has not gone on in the body. Think I might be in slow gear w/all my other activities----Oh well, have said before---I have the time, am retired, and can get it done as time allows. Just have to make a mental note to self at bedtime that toilet is no longer in the bathroom (so I can paint the entire wall). Would be a long drop to squat if I walked in my sleep. I feel the urge to get more focused on the painting today so I can get things back in order. Would hate to tell people it took 2 years to paint the bathroom (2010 to 2011).

Have a great day, stay healthy, safe, and keep in touch.

Love, Mom

Still Painting...maybe.

Nineteen degrees, crisp air, no breeze... Wild turkeys, deer in back field, dogs on guard, lots of racket. Start of a great day. Left for Mass early just to escape the chaos. Running errands and then back home to paint.

Have a great day, stay healthy, safe, and keep in touch.

Love, Mom
