Another day of mess....created by "stuff" that can't be disposed of because "we might need it". Soooo, we walk.....go sideways down the hallway....attempt to get into the garage("warehouse")....and continue to keep the doors closed on rooms filled with stored "stuff", awaiting the end of the remodeling project. (Whew....what a sentence!)
After a couple of cups of French Roast coffee, the doorbell rang.....and it was the fellow that we contracted to install the LARGE granite tiles on our new kitchen counter. A lengthy discussion over just exactly how to achieve the effect and look we want.....and get this done with the European style cabinets we purchased.......went on for some time. A few questions began to enter my mind about our installer......he did a GREAT job with installing tiles on our new bathroom floor.....but I soon picked up vibes that he had never laid this large of tile on a countertop....especially the European styled cabinets. Soooooo, I suggested to him that he go with me to ST Louis on Sunday to The Tile Store where we purchased our granite tiles.....and where they have some excellent model kitchens/baths which show some examples of the effect I want to have.
I have received two tickets to the Claire McCaskill Rally on Sunday afternoon....and Barack Obama will be speaking in support of her.......so since our tile installer is a BIG Democrat.....I am going to take him with me. We may be standing a block away....but it will be great to just hear Barack speak.....SUCH charisma!!!!! Such a great speaker!!
I spent some of the afternoon cleaning the sun room tile floor. It is covered with drywall dust, drywall "mud", etc., etc., etc. So......as the 1st Lady steamed and pulled off the OLD wallpaper on the walls, I swept it up.....and then did a first mopping/washing of the ceramic tiles. After they dried.....it is VERY obvious that this will take some quality time on my knees with a scrub brush and some warm water to get it back to where it was prior to the new ceiling being installed. Soooo, more work on Monday.....
The 1st Lady and I are headed to STL tomorrow to select two pendant lights, pick up different sizes of pulls for the new cabinets, and make a final selection on the paint for the sun room, old dining area, and hallway, and pick up our two cabinet doors that are having glass inserted in the door centers. As to colors, we are leaning to a yellow.....not "in your face" yellow, but also not a bland yellow. The color will contrast nicely with the burnt orange on the living room walls and will also go well with the new cabinets. I will have to get the ceiling painted in the sun room SOON, as well as the walls in the kitchen that are not covered by cabinets.
With only four days left.......the time has come for a CHANGE when Tuesday comes to a close!!!!! And it is not just one CHANGE.......but many changes that are a MUST!!!! As I have stated before.......I have never seen nor experienced a more incompetent administration....AND President.....since the early days of my Life when I remember the Harry Truman administration. Yes.....Iraq is ruining us.....our country....and our country's position as a respected leader of the world........it was a BIG mistake to invade Iraq and one that will take many generations of our descendants before we recover from this mistake. We are NOT safer from this action........it has made us less safe....and I am not saying anything that has not been said before by more knowledgable and experienced individuals than me. Because of this invasion, we....as citizens of our great country......are less free, have lost many of our freedoms, and have experienced an administration that has walked on and completely ignored many sections of our Constitution. We have experienced the merging of church/religion and government......actions that will destroy our great country.......our country that was established by those who left other countries, including England,.....established and formed so that they/we would not have to live under a theocracy.
As an author of the U.S. Constitution and the fourth President of the U.S., James Madison, said....."Religious bondage shackles and debilitates the mind and unfits it for every noble enterprise." Our country's government cannot be "shackled" to religion as a way of governing our citizens........it is not the purpose of our government to be "in the business" of legislating our morals and values! It is time for a necessary change in our government and in the direction that the past six years have taken us and our country!!!
If changes are not made SOON......I may not be able to say that.....
Life is Great....and I hope it is for all of you, also!
