~A GREAT Day!! ~ :-)

Today was great..really great.. It feels so good to have all

my belongings in one place..not scattered..Its a mess and

my basement is jammed full..but its here..Donnie & Dawn

and the Grand Cameron..my GREAT Grand lol.. Kelli and

Jorge. Everything got moved, cleaned..Everyone pitched

in really hard..Dawn, bless her heart..she is just a sweetie.

She works so hard, and Lord, do I appreciate that girl..
She is just a dear..Donnie calls her Princess.. :-) It was a

lousy day out today tho.. I got up this morning awoken ..

awoke,,woked, well got up ..by the sound of my phone

ringing about 6 or so.. Was a dear friend in Australia..they

are on a totally different day down there let alone about

15 hours time difference.. talk about hard to keep track..!
Was so good to hear tho..no matter what time of day or night

I appreciate the thought..So that started my day off with a

smile right there even though it was raining and snowing..

As you see by the top photo the boys are happy..Dutch is in

his favorite spot..LBs deciding if he likes it there or up on his

favorite perch on top my desk.. They are such pretty cats..

Looking from my computer to the right..after the desk is the

doorway to the bedroom..you can see my bed now as we

moved it into that corner..today the credenza was put in front of

the window next to the bookcase..
you can see the end of the couch by the front door..That lamp is one of
the burgundy ones my sis gave me..hmm 10 yrs ago? long time...the
other is at the other end of the couch in the next picture..

and the back of my chair, which I didnt notice at the time ! Good thing

my butt wasnt hangin out hey? be a scarey photo ! Specially if my skirt
was up ..Oh Gawd..could you imagine how embarrassing that would be
and not know it? The back of this old chair doesnt go all the way to the
seat. So theres a gap there ..not much if I have my cushion, but still..
figure sitting make that go down. GAWD.. I would just die if that ever
happened LOL..I wonder if it ever has to anyone .. Bet I make REAL
sure from now on lol..Well my new chair..Im using my old one..the back
goes all the way to the bottom of the seat..no gap.I still prefer this one.
:-) anyway....next one...great little mind image for ya :-) lol...

I thought I better take one with me in it of course lol..

Well you know us here one of us has got to be in all

the photos.. :-) well thats a scan of around..then back

to the kitchen door.....You can see how great the

burgundy curtains match the lamps..the base of the

lamp lights up as well..I love them.
Now..take note..see the white stripe is gone off the wall

on the right side above the table? Yup..I painted that..What

you cant see is that there is another one right above it. :-)

I couldnt reach that ..lol..But there is my mothers drop leaf

dining room table..It pulls apart with leaves to go in ..and see

the side hanging down..lift it up..pull the legs and it holds

it up..Its really pretty . .I bet thats 30 years old at least..I would

have to look..my mother kept records of everything they

bought ..down to the penny, and of every single penny what

they spent on what..very detailed..My grandmother was the

same way..I do too lol..ya sure.. IN my checkbook lol.. I should

but I dont..Interesting to read tho..It should say when she got

the couch as well..it was my parents.. Its very pretty and that

HAS to be..70's..I have a photo of them on it with my 2nd

hubby..so..is old too..and as good as new..I had it shampooed

when I got it out of storage last time..VERY comfy ..See? I

have room for company :-) ask Stanley how good my couch is

to sleep on.. Only 1 problem..all the pieces of wood that were

under the legs? about 8 of them? Well they are not to be found..

we found 1 ..so Im gonna call stanley again..see if he will bring

me more..I told Donnie it was so I could get on the couch.. he

laffed said I aint never seen you on this couch..:-) which is true!

lol..well just in case I wanna..lol..Everyone kinda liked it up like

that though. makes it easier to get up off of it..what they tell me

anyway.. Only good thing if I fall out this chair with out them under

the legs I wont have so far to try to drag this butt back in my chair!

lol...

This house Is on a busy corner..I was playing a game of solitare

last nite..late. well once I start i say after every deal, its the last one,

but then I keep going..anyway..I hear the sound of tires screeching-

sliding noise, horn and CRACK THUMP..It was so close I was waiting

to see if a car came through the house LOL.. I mean SCARE the

CRAP otta me.. I looked out the window and 3 cars..all smacked..One

car was in the middle lane..one behind pulled around and the one

behind him hit him who hit the first car and the whole intersection was

messed up.. I could hear the swearing and yelling..I bet were at least

4 in one car 2 or 3 in another ..One car was up on the side walk by

the house across the side street here..I bet scared them..Their dogs

were out and boy..talk about the sound of the bark changing..wow..

they were upset...specially when the cops got there with the flashing

lights..then the wrecker..Talk about noisey..This is the 3 rd wreck out

at this intersection since Ive moved in...There are 3 lanes out there

and the middle is for turning..once you get up close to a crossroad..

before that is 2 wider ones..some dont pay attention then pull out

and get hit by the next car .. The cats ran of course..:-) I sat and

waited to see if It was coming thru the wall :-)

Well enough of a eye burn out..I better close this and go and have

some more chili Raelynn made some great chili and

brought it over ..REALLY good..They all had some before they left..

Was a rainy snowy day but everything made the trip..I am missing a

mirror though ..I asked Donnie all he said was "guess Ill have to hang

that too ".. :-) he knows me so well..Bless his heart..what would I do

with out these kids? Ill tell ya.. THEN forgot to take pictures of every

one ! DUH..I was so mad..Mary left a comment and reminded me..

*SIGH*..well now we are on the count down to final settling.. I am

ejoying taking these pictures of the house as it turns into a nice place.

Dawn really likes it..I do too..so did Kelly..Cameron ..he just had a

good time chasing Dutch lol...so did Dutch ...LB hid the whole time..
