Kitchen Curtains


I realize I haven't posted exciting things here lately, but nothing else is going on! Just waiting on Baby Grissom and then that's all that will be posted for awhile. :)


I did get my kitchen curtains made.

Wes is working overtime today. We went "window" shopping this morning and worked on the yard. Kinda hot for that...

More Pics

I like being able to walk to the library! It took me only 5 mins to get here...that's even waddling!! (Just think if I were in shape!) Here's some more pictures for the family and whoever else wants to see them...
Things aren't done in these photos...
So far this is what they look like...

Corner in the dining room


Another corner in the dining room (in case you haven't figured it out, I think this is going to be our overflow room). At our last castle, I had a room all to myself for my scrapbook stuff! I had to do some serious down-sizing.


Kitchen...I'm really wanting to take a trip to Old Time Pottery and Flower Factory!!! I'm having to sit on myself!!!


Bathroom-This room is tiny, but hey! we don't live in there...hopefully...


We also planted some flowers in the front, but we were probably too late. Our baby girl's room is a disaster! It's kinda depressing to go in, so I haven't got started on that yet. It's going to be a job and I want it to be just right!

I also made some cards for ebay! Gotta keep my sanity...


Maybe this will give me some "mad" money for shopping at those two stores!

Living Room

Here's more pictures for you, Grandma...
I think we have the living room mostly set up. We worked on unloadling Wesley's library/bookstore today!! Good grief that man has a lot of books! Now I'm trying to make a scrapbook corner...oh boy!
Note to self: Put the throw on the recliner right side up when I get home.

We've Moved



Wow! What a huge job it is to move! Not much fun, but it's over with!!! Thanks to everyone who came and helped and those who said they would have helped if we had let them known :) ...we did it very spur of the moment! Rachel E. and Debbie pretending like their working...


Our biggest helpers, of course! I took a picture of a living room corner that I have done, but for some reason my camera has been taking pictures and then deleting them! That's NOT GOOD! Haven't got much done today...went back to the old house and scrubbed! Fun, fun, fun...as I cannot get down to do so. Wes was a HUGE help!!!!!! He did a lot of work! Now, I need to change addresses and transfer things! That really sounds like a knee-slappin' good time!

Congratulations!


Congrats to our good friends Micheal and Rachel Edwards!!! They are expecting another baby boy!!! She's 5 1/2 months along and still looks like a toothpick...SIGH...
Their daughter kinda slipped and told me a few months back, but her mommy and daddy ignored me when I asked if she was tellin' tales. So, I kept my mouth shut until they admitted it tonight! Ha! I knew she let the cat out of the bag...

Our New Abode

We finally found a house to rent! Praise the Lord! It's been like pulling teeth, especially since the flood!!! It's either been; they STINK (literally), the Landlord's retarded (I guess mentally challenged might sound better), or the rent is $2,000 (kinda not our price range)!

A HUGE thanks goes to Sis. Stetler, mom's pastor's wife. She called her nephew, Jeff Finke-a realtor, and found us a place. It's an older home, but has lots of character and will do quite nicely for us simple folk.


This is my favorite part!!! It's in the dining room.


Need some weed killer or a goat! (Back yard)

Just finished setting up the gas and electric...that was sooo not fun! They only asked about a million questions! So, it looks like I'm going to be busy for awhile! Lots of cleaning, scrubbing, and last minute packing. I'm off to go sniff some Lysol...j/k!

Spa Treatment


Tonight, I went to a spa party with a couple of ladies from church. It was fun and relaxing, but I was disappointed!...I didn't walk away beautiful like I'd so hoped for. :)

(Perhaps Sheila will post her pictures and I can steal them! I'm sure there are some dandies!)
