I looked around my "office" today and decided it's time to do something. So I am pushing to scrub down the woodwork in the hall so it can be painted. I expect that I will be doing that. Then I will get the walls painted and move my bookcases along the hallway. I just don't have room for them in my office, the smallest bedroom in the house. Sometimes I think I should just pitch my tent in the yard and live in it.

Still washing glue off walls but took a break to get gas for mower and got a few groceries. Having a ☕ break now...then back to work. I do love sitting on the porch and listening to the water garden and hummingbirds.

Oh, the darn old wallpaper! lol I My kitchen is done in wallpaper. Farrah and I put it on many years ago when she was still in high school. It sure lasted good, it looks like panel. But it old and needs to be replaced. We dreaded the thought of removing it so we are going to get wood. You can buy sheets of wood panel that is much nicer than the old style paneling. So we will be looking into that next year or so.
We did so much work on the house this summer so it's time to take a break. Well, right after we get the roof built out over the deck. We have the steel roofing ordered for that and a guy is going to build it on a weekend for us when we get everything for it. It will be nice to have the shade in the summer and not so much snow on the deck in the winter.
Good morning everyone and have a wonderful day!

I've been busy all week and still am way behind. Cooked the big meal for noon, dishes done and floor mopped in the kitchen. Still trying to figure out what to do with everything that came to our house after Fred cleared out his sister's apartment just before she died. I am tired of being a repository for everyone's stuff. Sorry to complain. It's more like a groan. :D

Ahh....it was cool and rainy today and I was able to open the doors and turn off the a/c. It was great until my next door neighbor started up with the strong dryer fumes again. Hannah was here with me and both of us started getting swollen sinuses before I could get in there and shut the door. Had to pick her up from school at noon and then back at 4 so she could travel to her volleyball game. Too far for me to drive, unfortunately. :( She had to go play with swollen sinuses. :( Worked all week to get my place looking clean and neat for the housing inspection today. I passed the inspection. Sounds like we've all been cleaning and sorting this week. Turning hotter tomorrow and for the next few days. The cooler weather was nice while it lasted, though!

yes it was refreshing, PL. but now they say hot sticking and 90's this coming week till the end of August.
I hate that neighbor is so inconsiderate or that you are not moved yet... poor Hannah having to play with sinuses.. I was down a whole day cause of the pollens here...
CSue did you guys get the metal roof on yet? I think you'll love it.
Kona, hope all is well with you and yours... I know your parents are up in yrs and it is never easy.
GG hope you got your article down and submitted
waving to all the others that might pop in this cafe.
