HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

We have much to be thankful for.....a wonderful family, friends, each other, a lovely home and most of all....the fact that we have not killed ourselves or each other over this project!

Don is on the mend. Doc told him last week that he could put weight on the leg and start weaning himself from the boot. What does that mean to Don? FULL SPEED AHEAD!!!!! Today he got up and said, " You can sleep in today. I think we will not tile." He put the boot back on, so.......at least one day of rest, sort of.

This last week we had the help of a friend, Gale Yarrow. Lights went up and what a difference that made! Don was helping from the ground for about 5 minutes and he couldn't stand it any longer. Yup, up on the ladder!!! One dirty look from me and I gave up. Back to painting. The ceiling was a killer. Three days of painting above my head....I guess it was good for toning my arms. Hope the feeling returns soon!

Walls were not a challenge and were completed quickly.

Then there is the "freckle checking" for the spots the "roller" missed.

Right how we are deep into floor tile. Not bad after deciding where to start! Long days and sore knees. We will get this done too. Deadline is approaching quickly, as we'd like to have the room usable by Dec. 5. That remains to be seen.

We are bringing in a landscaper to "clean up" the outside. Rock is too much for me after this tile.

I was going to say that we do have a life other than this project,
but right now that is not the case. I have some friends I need to apologize to as I did not get their quilts finished by today as I had planned. Soon! I promise! Soon!

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving with family, friends or whatever you choose to do. We will be missing our family as we celebrate ..... sort of!
