Almost this entire weekend has found the 1st Lady and I devoted to the remodeling project......finishing Stage 1 and makind selections for some of the Stage 2 items. WOW.......who would ever have thought that this project would have taken sooooooo long. Of course.....we WERE warned before we began this late last winter, but nevertheless, we pushed on into this task.
Yesterday we were up in STL and focusing on appliances for the upcoming kitchen project (Stage 2). We attempted to eliminate some of the choices on gas ranges and microwaves....and we were able to make some decisions as to free-standing versus slide-in, two ovens or one, four burners or five, convection or regular...or both, sizes of microwaves, etc., etc., etc. We plan to get the range/microwave ordered this week.
Next???? Dishwasher.....and perhaps....PERHAPS a refrigerator. Flooring, lighting, and countertop selections are going to have to be made quickly.....!!
Today.....well, we spent the morning, which was dreary and finally....rainy.......reading the papers and catching the morning "talking heads" news programs. This afternoon we moved some more "stuff" as did some re-arranging in the guest room in preparation for some bed switches. Tomorrow morning the new bedroom furniture for our new room will be delivered and set up....and so we made had to do the switching today to bring some of the things into the guest room and others into the "sale side" of the garage.
And so.......we kept on the go and very busy most of the weekend. No philosophical thoughts to share tonight.......no sermonizing........no pictures.....no remembering of things past........no thoughts for the future........just living the life of two retired educators who are enjoying most of our minutes each day working on these projects. Oh yeah.....we are looking forward getting back on the road the early part of October....after we return from a week in DisneyWorld.
Life IS Great......and I really hope it is for all of you, also!!!!!!
