Best/Worse/What didI learn today?come sit spell, where friends meet..always an extra chair

Good morning everyone.
I am back in Amarillo, slept in my own bed, and got a good night's sleep. House is cleaned. A few things left in back yard, but a few men will be there in a few days and get it all removed.
Lots of memories for sure cleaning the house. It was very difficult, but we all shared each other's shoulders for hugs and tears.
Monday was our regular day for my old quilting group, so I spent several hours there. Everyone showed up with a dish to pass for lunch for us. It was very nice to see them. I brought back 15 huge plastic totes full of fabric from the ladies. It's still in the uhaul trailer. Can't wait to go through it and see what's there. Like I need more fabric. LOL. Earlier this summer, one of the ladies had a heart attack, while she was in the hospital her husband got covid real bad. They both spent months in the hospital then nursing home. They needed financial help, so she sold all her fabric and machines. What the other quilting ladies didn't buy, I did. There is all kinds of fabric, rulers, templates, cutting mats. Sight unseen, I sent her $3000.00. I know I got a great bargain. Just need to figure out where to put it.

Linda, how nice that the quilting ladies rallied and bought all the supplies. I am sure the family appreciated it. I know it must have been hard for them to lsell so much at a loss but there is also the need to clear stuff OUT.

Waving hi to the rest of you & hoping all are well.

Contractors come back and pick up equipment & they will get paid and be DONE.

wow, Linda Kay - that is a LOT of fabric, you fabri-holic you!!
Pat - glad to know the contractors will be gone soon Your sewing room looks so CLEAN lol Wish mine did hahahaha
Any news on the house you & Marie want to buy?

I went to town to pick up a picture our MLA is donating to our Community Dinner. We'll raffle it off. Another donation from our MP is coming in the mail tomorrow.
Community dinner is on Monday, and I'll pick up 6 lbls of hamburger for the Spaghetti Dinner then I'll go home & cook spaghetti sauce. Dinner is at 5:30, so I'll be busy that whole day.

You are cooking fiend Susan!

TODAY, after putting up the picket fence, retrimming the flower bed with rocks and returning the birdbath. I still have some raking of the gravel to do. I have ordered 3 thick looking vinyl trellises for the front ot the house to dress it up. I lost the clematis next the front door. They had to dig right thru it. Aren't they nice for the price?? https://www.homedepot.com/p/Dura-Trel-76-in-x-28-in-White-Vinyl-PVC-Cambridge-Trellis-11172/205709176

Trellises are beautiful Pat, i will have to check our Home Depot, am sure they would be over $100 here. They will surely dress the front of the house. By spring I am sure it will look as beautiful as it once was. Hope the contractors did all that work.

Q how many are you expecting for spaghetti dinner Saturday nightSusan, do they pre buy tickets? What is the picture of Susan? Hope the raffle brings in a good amount of $$$, lots of work for you though. Will the dinner include a bread roll and salad?

Lindakay, it would be overwhelming cleaning everything out of your home, glad the boys were with you to share the memories and tears.not a wonder your bed gelt so welcoming and you had a good nights rest, bet you had a furry cuddling in with you to make it so.

Was the fabric from the lady that once had the fabric shop and her son was taking it over? Lordy, what kind of machines go with the fabric? That is an awful lot of $$ sight unseen, hope you won’t be disappointed. Are there fabric stores near you? Am sure i asked that before but it might with all the fabric you bought you could start a shop and/or giving lessons.

I am in bad shape these past few days. Can’t move both arms above my breasts, hard getting dressed. Marie came over and set up the basement tree and one on from deck ready for me to decorate but the bins of decorations will sit for bit.

Ari is coming at 3:30 for her lesson, should be cancelling class but it’s disappointing for young ones.

Mary who brought so much fabric over a few months ago and a nice sewing machine came yesterday to make a frog, she left 2 pks of Xmas 10 fat quarters, wish i could sew

Oh happy days, my guy who has commercial equipment is here to start doing leaves, even if he gets front done for today it will be wonderful.

What is all your weather like?

Sharon called me this morning to say she was at vets and mommy is going to have 4 puppies, think next week, she was happy as when she was checked last month they thought 2 puppies.

Sorry to hear you are in so kuch pain Betty. Praying you find relief soon.
Yes, I had Lizzie cuddled up to me all night. She was so glad to see me back home.
The fabric was from one of the quilting ladies that had a heart attack this past spring. Same time she was in the hospital, she put word out she couldn't get ahold of her hubby. Police were called to do acwell check, and thry found him on the floor. He had come down with covid and it nearly killed him. They both spent months in rehab together. Those illnesses left the financially in trouble. So she sold everything. What was left I bought. It's all brand new fabric. About $10,000.00 worth. The sewing machine is an older singer. Probably from the 90's, but it still works.

Poor things, sorry to hear about your friend and her husband, we here in Canada at least are blessed that all is covered, wouldn’t loose our homes etc.because of medical attention we need. We are strapped for doctors but if sick enough off to emerge we go.

Bet you can’t wait to get into those bins, will be like Christmas morning for you. I can’t wait to see some samples.when are your next doctor appointments?

Betty, I will bet Sharon was excited for 4! As expensive as it was to have her dog bred, more is better! I hope you feel better soon. When do you get injections again?

Linda, I imagine Lizzy was excited to see you. I would worry about her bonding with is caring for you in your absence!

I delivered the exercise bike to Marie today and took that pickup home. I need to get it cleaned up and advertised to sell.

I put a few things to sell on Marketplace that we won't need at the house together, trying to continue pare down.

I got a lot done today, worked with a neighbor I hired. He bagged up the leaves we had piled, there are still LOTS in the back yard.

I have called my doctor, he is out of town till the end of the month. I see him in mid December.

Morning,imagine, will be a high of 57°f today but then comes the flurries.

Not sure what i was thinking when I booked an oil change at 8am? Oh well, will be able to have shopping done and home shortly after 10.

Linda Kay after all you’ve been through that is a long wait for your appointment.was smilling when I was think8mg what i will try to get done and said to myself ‘know if I was Lindakay I would be in those bins of fabric’ lol

Pat, only get them every 3 months so not til the new year, bug sigh.
Is Marie putting her house on the market as well so you will both have a better chance of selling 9ne of them and move on to find your forever home? i never look at Marketplace but i think I should, you manage to sell and buy quite a bit on that sight. Know Melanie and Kyle spend a lot of time on the site and get great deals.

Coffee break over, need to leave by 7:30

Betty - sorry to hear you're in such pain. 8am? I would only book that early if I had to - and my mechanic is only 2 blocks away. lol
The dinner is on Monday, no idea how many will come, but we'll make a couple of batches of spaghetti sauce & noodles. Three of us will cook it at the Community Centre, starting at noon. Last time we did it, it wasn't advertised that much and we had 12. This time I've told our local County reps, and advertised it in some of the county as well as online in our Communities. Hope we don't have 50 lol Dinner will include dinner rolls & garlic butter.
Got some good news today - Bob didn't contest the divorce. The paperwork has gone to Ontario to be signed by a judge so at that point my divorce is FINAL!!!! Now, to wait to see what he's going to do with his stuff that's still here on MY property. At least he's not contesting my ownership of the mobile home. He can have the motorhome & all its contents. If he doesn't pick it up, I am free to dispose of it as I wish., including all his tools, ladders, and computer items (desk & computers)


This message was edited Nov 17, 2023 1:08 PM

Just a small sample of what's in the totes. They average about $1500.00 per tote. Yardage, layer cakes, charm packs, kits, tools...

Susan, well I hope Bob picks up his stuff so you don't have to fool with it. I admit selling some of it might feel good!! LOL

Linda, if you have not been digging thru those bins you are showing a LOT more self control than I would have!

Betty, I always check Market place first if I need to buy something & I also get some stuff off of "Buy Nothing" and "It's free". I DONATE a lot of more stuff than I take on those sites. I have met with really nice people. Some contributors have gotten to know me & they know I supply clothes to the free clothing distribution at St Vincent de Paul; it's run by Catholic Charities. If stuff does not get picked up, or they don't want to hassle with driving there, they know I'll pick up for them. The SVdP is only open 2 days a week and VERY limited hours so it is NOT convenient to donate there so I make the extra effort to help collect clothes. Rounding up stuff for them only costs me some time & a little gas.

I got all the light bulbs changed to bright white (from soft white or yellow tone) and I got my burgundy curtains changed to white out of the living room. I could not get the rod & curtains down in the sewing room. They may just have to stay up! At least they are white on the backside (towards the window & what you see from the road).

Chugging along, the windows are gross and I don't know if I will get to them. I HATE doing windows.

My post set there because I forgot to send... then I see that Linda is human! She cracked open her bins! LOL

Linda - good grief, there's a LOT ot brand new fabric there! What a haul!!!

Pat, having to haul everything out of the motorhome to sell or use myself (yes, there's some useable stuff that I would like, but it's not mine unless he doesn't take it), THEN I can sell the motorhome. That would be a month-long job for me. Maybe I can get some help from young Wyatt :) At the end of the month I'll have my pension, so can afford to hire him.
I've finished cutting all the material for the 5 lap quilts. Now, to put them together :) Should be easy - it's nine patch, after all, and backed with cotton.

Everything is brand new, most of it still sealed. Only thing was the used sewing machine. Needs to be dusted, but it still works.

Hurrah hurrah Susan, now you can breath in and out without the heaviness of a divorce on you chest.very hard to plan for food when you’ve no idea how many are coming, don’t know how you do it.

Lordy Lindakay, you’ve no option but to open a fabric store or start an online business. Know what you will be doing for the next 10 years, sew, sew and more sewing. Once the machine is serviced it will last forever. I am so happy for you.
Would you say the fabric is seasonal?

In bed since 2:30
They brought in 3 of those garbage bins they drop off and pick up next door, guess it’s clean up time. See a ladder being moved, think they are putting up clips to hang Christmas lights.

The weather was dull here today and not freezing cold so many people are outside working, they predict snow all of next week so time to get ahead of winterizing this weekend.

It seems I worked all day & accomplished nothing. The spackle is drying on the door frames. I am trying to repair all the damage done by Ben's wheelchair, I bought touch up paint for the kitchen lower cabinets. I am NO where as far into this project as I thought I would be by now.
The picture of the cabinet, I have already started to paint it (custom match at Home Depot). This is more or less "before". I had started to paint the cabinet & realized I wanted to show the difference.

Some of the fabric is seasonal. There is fall fabric and Christmas. Lots of assortment of colors.

Pat, Vern would do the same thing. If he ran into something, he would back up and try again and hit it again. I tried to cut him off if he was headed to the kitchen. ust to save the cabinets. I know it feels it will never end, but one day you will look back and be so relieved it is finally finished.

Linda, that is quite a haul of fabric. I know you will find a project to use it. And you have a lot of life still ahead of you.

Betty, are you tired, in pain or just hiding from the world.

Susan, such good news. Now just to wait to see if he comes for his property. He will need someone to help him and you were the one that always did that. Oh well. This part will be interesting and fun to sit back and watch.

I paid one of the younger Hispanic men to move my three larger Plumeria into the garage. So they are now all inside. He is saving to buy a truck so it helped both of us. I made egg bites today and they are good but a lot of work. And you are suppose to eat only two. Funny thing. Last week I took my oldest grandson (27) out for his birthday. We went to Shake Shack Burgers. The hamburger was delicious but rather small. I could have easily eaten two.

All is well here. Getting colder and tomorrow we are suppose to have high winds. I have no appointments next week except Thanksgiving dinner, so it will give me time to get some gardening done, We had rain this morning about 4am. Woke me up. I have a fireplace in my bedroom and I could hear the rain hitting the cover on the top of the chimney, that is what woke me up. I do not have the heat on in the house but I do turn on my electric blanket. I am now sleeping with one dog and two cats. Right now, without any heat on, the house is 70 degrees.

Hugs to you all

Pat - one day, as Sharon said, it will be something you will look back on and know that it's done to your satisfaction
Sharon, you're right, I used to do it now it's HIS responsibility.
Betty - we'll over-plan & if there's any leftovers, people have been told to bring their own containers & what's leftover they can take home for a donation to future dinners.

I'm baking a pie as I type, for our new minister's convenenting celebration. He's graduated as a minister & we're so proud of him. He's been our student minister for 1 year, and we've hired him permanently. I realized at 12:30 this morning as I was getting ready for bed that I'd promised to bring a dessert, so I cut up some fruit cake this morning (not enough) & now I'm baking an apple pie. Thank goodness for frozen pie shells & a can of apple pie filling lol I have to leave VERY soon, to get there in time.

Susan, Oops! don't you hate it when a commitment gets temporarily forgotten? thankfully you caught it in time!

I just keep reminding myself, it's not going to be MY house much longer. It does NOT have to be the way I want it. It has to be staged to be SOLD. I got the hall bathroom cabinets painted last night & knobs back on & drawers in this morning. I also have THAT bathroom done. I still need to touch up the walls.

so many people want to keep the house the way THEY'D live in it still, and don't realize that they have to Stage it for someone else. I'm happy to hear that you're Not one of "those" people. Good for you, Pat.

Morning, lovely sunrise, still a hint of snow on roof and cars.

Susan, hope your events have gone well.. maybe when and it’s not very often you are ‘not busy’ you can bake a few pies and freeze them that way in an emergency you will have one to bake.

Pat, as I am shaking my head, where oh where are you getting all the energy? How long do you think before it will be listed? Once listed do you think you will stay at Marie’s? Do they only stage for open house or is it for duration of the signed realtor contract?

Lindakay, where will you store all your fabric totes?doubtful you are sewing right now, will take you quite some time to get back on your own schedule, you’ve been non stop and down time would be good for you. Keep thinking of how much pleasure the gathering with your quilting group was and yet another loss when you left to go home.

Dianne, bet you have the wood stove on, how is the vertigo?

Sharon glad you found help bring8ng in the plants for the winter.

Deb, you had given the man who did not want to keep the puppy a few months to decide about keeping him, have you heard if his rescission? Sharon’s going to have new puppies tomorrow or Wednesday.

Hope Karen is doing ok

Greg dropped in last night to put the winter panels on back deck, these panels forever have been in the cupboard downstairs in laundry room, last night we went to look for them, pulled everything out of 8’ lower cupboards, no go,,looked everywhere no go. He asked would i have put them in a tote in back shed, nope, out we went, there sat a tote clearly marked ‘back deck winter canvas curtains..grrrr

Greg told me that Kyle and Destiny are having another child,don’t know if i am happy for them or not.

I’ve been up since 5:30 am , got all the fabrics in laundry room set back in neatly, only have vacuuming left to do then tidy craft room a bit. My cousin Brenda and her husband Blaine will be here for lunch so I will have a few hour to myself before I start chicken and slidders, old French recipe and maybe bread pudding.

Good morning.
It was very nice to see the old quiltingbgroup, and yes it was sad to leave them. We stay in touch on Facebook and through texting.
My son bought a storage container for the back yard. There is plenty of room to store fabric out there. We have been busy sorting the fabric by color, theme and size. Almost done. Once we get it all sorted, it will go the the storage outside. As we sort, we are picking out the next few quilts we want to work on.
We will be making donation quilts for the church and cancer centers. My daughter in law has fabric picked out to make quilts for her parents and one for her sister. Also one for each of her boys.
And of course Lizzie has to help. She is now 45 pounds and growing so fast.
Congratulations on the new grandchild coming soon.

Oh LK I just want to reach in and kiss Lizzy's snout. She's a beauty.

I let the wood stove die out over the weekend. My vertigo was acting up and I was afraid I might lose my balance and reach out to balance myself. Zeke has come a long ways in knowing when I need him beside me for balance. Plus he loves the heat from the wood stove so he is not afraid of the heat. In fact I need to get a picture as he lays stretched out in front of the stove watching the fire.

How are you feeling today Betty?

I need to get some paint and touch up the baseboards where Zeke chewed a bit when he was a wee pup.

Hope everyone has a great day with lots of smiles.

Sun is shining through the front window and I’m resting for a few minutes..company should be here any minute..oops mom on the phone
Gee whiz, at some point in time I made her a lantern, she can’t figure out how to get batteries out

Lindakay you are very well organized, will be great having that storage area, I’m pleased you are smill8ng..

Poor Lillie, has the look of why are you not playing with me, what are you doing
Here is company

Lizzy is just too cute for words and her eyes are mesmerizing!

Staging is up to the owner & I will seek the advice of my realtor about how much etc. I THINK I would like to take Stanley to Marie's as soon as the deep cleaning gets done & the house listed, maybe next Monday?
Last I knew Paula is still planning on coming Dec 24 thru Jan 8th. If I am moved to Marie's she goes with me... all just playing it by ear. Asking for prayers this house is under contract by Christmas with a real buyer, not just contingency.

I used to think staging a house was just for TV shows, but our last house we sold the realtor made a list of things for us to do( mainly removing personal pictures and some knickknacks) and then she brought in some art, lamps and rearranged our bookshelves. She had us remove some of the furniture, treadmill etc in the bedrooms. It looked so inviting the house sold to the first looker at list price ( which was more than we expected) So I am sold on staging.
I was watching HGTV Unsellable Houses a few weeks ago and the owner was supposedly a realtor who couldn’t sell her house. It was in serious need of “staging” and remodeling. The hosts came in and fixed it up that it didn’t even look like the same house. I think we become so comfortable with living in our homes that when it comes to selling it and trying to imagine how other people see it we need a different impartial set of eyes

That is soon Pat, can see in your posts you are anxious get all this behind you, i too am hoping it sells quickly. You hadn’t had time to play with the long arm..

Lindakay did I miss wether or not you got papers signed to list your home?

Teacup, realtors swear on staging, glad the sale of your home was quick. I watch those shows as well, what gets me is when they say how much they are paying supply items, certainly couldn’t buy them here for that, maybe triple what they say.

Nice visit with my Brenda and Blaine, got a Xmas present, beautiful silver bells candle and a diamond dot kit, too #’s and colour are mighty small, will be nice if I finish it though, hummingbird and flowers


DG was difficult to access this afternoon, played for a good 1/2 hr

Just got an Afghan and laying comfy on couch, Ziggy trying to snuggle 8n.

We were 3 for lunch but I cooked enough for 15 I am sure, it’s Greg’s favourite dish so I called him to come pick up supper for tonight and tomorrow night, he is ok with that

Sharon & I got the back patio cleaned up and ready. I am not happy with the layout and will likely move some stuff around. At least all the extra stuff is moved out and things cleaned up out there.
I have double pane windows and they are gross BETWEEN the glass & I have a professional scheduled to clean them 11/29.. I left a message days ago but I feel very fortunate that he could get to them as soon as 11/29. He cleaned Marie's windows and there were so much hard water deposits you could not see out of the bedroom window. He got that ALL off & the windows are amazing. For all of her window, inside and outside, including the extra charge for the severe hard water it was under $300. She had thought she would have to replace some of those windows so she was VERY happy.

Now that looks amazing Pat, very inviting and clean.
Is there a lot of turn around in real estate in your area? When a house goes up for sale on my street it sells quickly

Brrr 28°f with a feel of 16°f and strong winds, think it will be an inside day for both Ziggy and I. He was crying to go out, minute I opened the door he ran for the comfy bed in back bedroom, he has a great view o the back yard.ohhh see a few snow flakes falling big sigh.

With all the Rovno’s being done by Pat I imagined opening my bedroom wall and making a sitting room out of back bedroom but truly I wouldn’t use it but it would be nice.lol

Lindakay bet you are enjoying the warmer temps, back into summer clothes.

Was hoping to go to Orillia today to Thimble and Threads and see what is new in fabric, patterns etc that maybe the little ones could do and go out with Sharon for lunch but she is expecting baby puppies at any minute so that is a no go.

Guess with the entire day to myself I may just go downstairs and see if there is some sewing I’d be able to do, not all day but 20 minutes here and there is see how that goes.

Hope you are all having a sunshine day

Sooooooooo sewing sounds divine! I will be painting & sanding.

Sales have not been as slow as expected during this time of year. I have looked online (& in person at some) at some of the competition in my price range. I am pretty confident that unless a person wants an "Open concept - great room etc", I will fair well.

Good luck with your house sale Pat.
I have not listed the house yet, but soon. I will not be doing anything to my home, I am selling it as is. I just want to sell it.

Did a bit of sewing then came up and did a few more diamond dotz, not so sure what i will do with it when it’s done but I am sure I will find a place.

Well that is good news Pat, it won’t be because of not trying your best if it doesn’t sell.

Lindakay, mom when we get her into mood Re selling and moving close to us says it can’t be before this and that is done, we tell her that when people buy the majority want to make changes that best suits their needs but we can’t convince her but I think it’s the way to go ‘as is’

It’s raining so must have warmed up, i decided with Giorgia coming at 4 I should get dressed, did so, even brushed my hair.

Well,I’ve mega leftovers from yesterday so I I will have lunch then maybe get a bit more time to finish the Christmas to I had sitting waiting for me to say ‘today is the day to get this top finished, quilt8ng will be another think😜

anyone else having problems with "next photo"? I stay on the same one, and it doesn't give me the option to "back to post". I have to use the browser back button to return to the post, and click on each picture individually to see past the first one.

Here's praying for an early sale, Pat :)

We had 28 people come to the Community Dinner, and $140 towards future dinners. I think it was a success.

My daughter Tracy is on her way to Phoenix. My granddaughter Sarah has gone into labor. Two weeks early. So our Thanksgiving has been postponed. It is a boy. This is her third. She works for Adobe and gets 5 months maternity leave after the baby is born. One month before, but she just went on leave 2 weeks ago. He is about 2 weeks early. Suppose to be born on his brother's 2nd birthday.

Pat, the patio looks great but go to a nursery and purchase a large green something to put in the corner by the hose outlet. That will give that area a dress up. Big box stores have large plants always at a bargain. This time of year it could be a small pine tree. I had several by my front door entryway when I sold my last home. It really upgraded the look.

Betty, you know I have a very large bedroom and I have a large overstuffed chair in that room. After dinner, I retire to my bedroom. I have a fireplace in that room but have not lit it yet because it is gas and gas is high here at the moment. Good news on the next great grand baby.

Susan, very pleased your turnout was to your expectations. How many more days before you can start throwing Bob's treasure to the wolves.

Diane, glad you are back and well. We had a terrible wind storm Monday so I have been spending the week cleaning up all the leaves that fell. My Emma has had the same vet since she was 4 months old. That would be a pain to change vets but if you do not feel comfortable with them, then it is time to change.

Sharon, I think this time of year only Norfolk Pine would be available, but I could be wrong.

Betty, No puppies at Sharon's house yet? How did your sewing go today?

Linda, I sold our rental house in Othello "as is", sometimes it is the best option. We SHOULD have sold the Boise house "as is", we would have come out money ahead by far. It took Ben WAY TOO long to get it ready and that cost us extra money living apart.

Great turnout Susan & good start in money towards next meal. Yes, I have been having trouble for several day with the "next" etc and sometimes have to close down to advance at all.

My handyman contacted me & he had some time today. So we picked up supplies and heis working to replace some light switches, some of the latches on door that were wonky and new weather stripping, since the painter got paint on it & it looked tacky.

The cleaning pro called and he can come 29th to clean these windows. They are double pane that are no longer properly sealed and have to be taken apart, cleaned and rehung. ANOTHER delay in listing. Our top pick of houses just went under contract, guess we'll "look" when we are ready with money in hand.

Sharon & I got the caulking & repair done in the sewing room after we took down the outdated curtains. I have a new rod purchased but not the curtain yet.  

I meet with the realtor tomorrow morning & discuss what else, if anything, he would recommend I do before listing.

Brrr, grey sky but mega cold. Was out putting extra light out front of the house, yikes froze my fingers, now I am anxious to see how much more I need to put it to get a wow from kids.

Dianne, sorry we must have cross posted, didn’t get to read your post til last night.
Smart thinking, with vertigo last place you want to be is near that hot stove.Zeke is growing into quite a comfort to you. Are you feeling better today?

I was thinking of you Monday when my cousin gave me a diamond dotz kit but being the areas marked and dotz are so tiny might be frustrating for you. Have you been working on your cross stitch?

That was a good number Susan, all got a great meal and you pr group extra $$..will your group be hosting one fir Christmas?

Sharon did all go well with the birth of your new grandson? Congratulations, when will you get to see the new baby, Christmas ?Tomorrow is your thanksgiving correct? I can see you lounging in that part of the bedroom. T this morning i was changing and all of a sudden I realized leaves are if the branches, went i pull down the blind or I will get arrested for indecent exposure lol

Pat, Sharon is at the vets, they confirmed 3 string heartbeats, she is just waiting for when they expect the mommy to go into labour.

Actually my sewing went well yesterday, didn’t overdo and did finish the top, of course it is a simple design, now to quilt. Got a message ask8ng if I’d like to make 3 memorial teddies, great grands very upset about losing ‘gamma but i told her i wasn’t up it,of course she wants it for Xmas. I really should, not just for now but later find a 2 piece pattern for easy making should i want to undertake doing similar.

Don’t know if i mentioned it, Paul my BIL that I worked for in the bankruptcy firm wanted me to do application, takes about 1 1/2 hrs and about 1 hour to make up the list of documents required so I said I would, 10more minutes with feet up then call the client.

Was thinking, micro went on fritz so application will give me $$ for a new9ne.

As i a typing my head is getting heavier, best I wake up lol
