Audrey, will be praying for your needs, hope you have someone who will come home with you for awhile to give you a chance to mend..how long do they normally keep you..is there someone who could post for you so we know you are ok...

Debbie, your telling me to take it easy today, was it just words or did YOU pray for that...lol..Mike and Darlene got here around 9:30 ready to give me a new floor, Mike also brough a piece of baseboard wide so that I'd know what to go look for at Home Depot today..

I had purchased 2 - 20' rolls and 2-8' rolls...picked one up each day till all were home..small cars don't carry much..

1st row took the time, so many cuts but between Mike and Darlene it was done to a 't' as per the order...now comes the 2nd roll..wouldn't you know...when I went to pick it up they told me that they had to open a new roll as they were just 5' short of what I needed..think when they gave me the roll they must have given me the wrong one, in fact I'm sure of it...so, now Mike says leave it till tomorrow when I can exchange the roll, we'll continue putting down the 2' pieces, then he'd come over one evening and put the replacement roll down..I'm fine with that...

We roll out the 8 piece rolls and Darlene notices that the piece that's down is a semi-gloss finish and the pieces are 'matte' so can't put them down...now if I hadn't paid top dollar I'd say who cares, because it's just for my painting room...so tomorrow off I go again to see what can be done...not mad just so sad that the project couldn't be completed, that I could put everything back in the room and call the weekend a success...

You should see my basement den, laundry room and woodworking shop, total kaos..I do not like untidiness and now I have to live in it and cancel painting for Monday and Wednesday...drats..

Mike and Darlene are off to Midland so they will pick up and deliver all the baseboard..she just bought a gallon of semi-gloss white so I'll drive over to their house (20 minute drive) to pick it up and then spend the rest of the day painting the baseboards..

Then Darlene wanted to know if we had to put the door into that craft room as it's never closed..told her not necessary as I'm putting a door into the furnace room which does both, now Mike doesn't like to do things half &^U so, he's putting new door casing and trim to finish the project...

Trisha, do love that rose..I know nothing about roses either, just purchase them but they never do well, won't get me though, will buy a few more..eventually one or two will take...

Debbie, girls keep saying we've got to cross the border soon to visit the Christmas Tree store..this time though, we're taking someone's vehicle that has a large trunk capacity...

When it graduation....still time to find those special shoes? Cool here today but sunny, is it much the same for you?
