Hi

LOL, Debbie and Crissy! Had to laugh, Yep it's a good thing Stacey named the baby, can you imagine all the offered names...
Hmmm, I thought the puppy was named Honey, LOL.

Betty...Thankfully no mishaps on the "job" front. Boohoo it was a one day deal. So got up crack of dawn, should have had breakfast. But lol, I was really hoping that Steve would have stopped for a bite to eat, Not...Took a cup of coffee to go. My job was very easy but quite tedious. I cut in all the corners in the toilet room. I wore a pair of Jeans but after a half hour changed into some cutoffs, whew it was hot in there. Applied 2 coats. OMG the plumber put the toilet in last week, so it was a real pain to paint under and behind, but was able to get that done..kept thinking how it was a good thing toilet was brand new! By time that was done, it was like 11:30. Also painted 13 switch plate covers, 2 coats, 3 on one set, 3 different colors... One of the guys showed up around 9:30 and got to work rolling the Bathroom walls, Asked me to cut in around the Hot Tub. LOL, I asked Steve if I could take a smoke break, He said, Babe you don't need to ask, just go have a smoke! Cool, I said, well it's 12:30, would you happen to be getting hungry? He said yes, but we discovered he forgot our lunch on the counter! So he had to drive a half hour away to get food! He came back with 2 big burritos. I was Starved and shaking from hunger, lol. But While he was gone, I start the trim work, in the hallway. All the trim was routered with different bevels...(that was the tedious part) So, rolled a good amount of paint then brush it all out, also 2 pocket doors and three door ways, both sides. Whew, I was tired at the end of the day!! On way back we stopped to get more paint for the toilet room.

As soon as I got home,hopped in the shower, it was great to just soak for a few. Also, it was our Good friend Ron's birthday, so he stopped in for a short visit. We had dinner, started to watch my favorite show and fell sound a sleep, don't even remember the beginning.

Mary, Yes I was very excited to go to work with DH. We have always worked Very well together. I really miss that, since he does reconstruction on other peoples property, we haven't worked on much together.so it was a lot of fun to work elsewhere. Plus, i am just as jolly as could be, because he is going to give me some money...This job is almost complete, so yippy Payday is coming!! He has to reimburse me for all the stuff i pay for with my allowance, plus for the work I have done throughout the month, and with this job, he is giving me the same rate as he gives the guys!! (my at home work, i do for half, just for pocket money, but that does include, the running time...post office bank, etc...All the running time does add up quickly too and that's time away from my house work and kids, not to mention my playtime!

Mary...Happy Birthday to you!!
This picture is especially for you for your Birthday.
(I know you love Greece.)

Betty, Yep, you definately have to add the moon window. I like the hidden garden room....
Ok, well i got to run to the bank, will be back soon....Still have to upload pics and the then tell you about weekend!
This was taken on Mykonos Island. We had a few cocktails outside by the sea.
Was wonderful, but I kept my eye on this arrangement, it's stunning.
