Before & After

I painted another room last week. It was my favorite project so far and I can't wait for it to be really finished when Kyle gets home and puts up the chair rail and crown molding. Anyway, I also finally organized some digital shots from when we moved in and the ones I've kept taking as I updated the house. So for those of you who haven't seen it in a while, or ever, now you can see how far our little home has come!

Update

The weather was the worst of yesterday - nearly got taken out on 435 by a Ford 150 swearving back and forth in front of me! Got home about 2pm and took it easy for the rest of the day - as it was, the doctor did less cutting than originally intended, so I had fewer stitches, and am already on the mend. Sorry about those who didn't know - I know I talked to several of you about it at Thanksgiving...but I didn't call a "family meeting" so it's possible you missed it. Or, of course the other possibility is that I said it and you weren't listening to me ...that wouldn't be a first for any of you either! Love you so, Mother S

High Winds

Early this morning we had ferocious winds...and I heard a cuthunk nearby, but it didn't sound like it was in the house. I went to investigate and the house was fine. Then thought perhaps it was a limb fallen onto the hot tub...started out on the screened in porch to see how the hot tub was - only to see the gas grill and both propane tanks blown over and strewn across the porch! No clue yet how to get the thing upright yet, but I'll manage.
Weather permitting, I'll still have a minor surgery procedure tomorrow - Sandy is taking me up to Leavenworth, and I'll be home in the afternoon, with movies to watch. Friday I'll be in Manhattan with Sean, staying with Connie and Ron, Saturday after graduation and lunch, I'll head home again. Mother Superior

High Winds

Last night I went downtown to the Hotel Phillips and met up with Mary Ann Moore for a glass of wine and a great chat. She was in town doing a seminar for a company and was able to squeeze me in between the last session and a business dinner. She looks great, seems happy and loved all the news about all of you - hopefully this outfit will invite her back so we can visit again on someone else's nickel.
