So Much To Do And So Little Time

The bathroom is finished!  It looks really good.  I took a couple of pictures, but since the bathroom is small they do not do it justice.  I had the bathtub removed and a shower stall installed.  Gerry also installed some shelves for me for storage.  I did not have a door installed just pulled the shower curtain across.  Gerry came back Thursday morning to finish up a few odds and ends.  He left about noon.

Jana and I have been very busy. She spent the morning unpacking and settling in.  We went through the books that she brought and the ones I had for her.  Thursday afternoon she went with me to my therapy session.  Elizabeth had her sit in with us so she would know what I had to do at home.  She was shocked at how “bad” I am.  We joined Brian, Kevin and Renea for supper then came home and relaxed.  We were tired and so were all of them. 
 

Brian and Kevin spent the day working in the back running wire for the electric and digging a trench and running pipe for water.  Renea’s parents are moving here in January.  They will be living in a camper on the back of Kevin and Renea’s property.  A septic system has been installed, the water has been run and is ready, the wiring has been run and now it has to be inspected. 

 

Friday Kevin and Brian finished a few things in the back yard then Brian joined Jana and me for lunch and an afternoon visit.  After he left I did my therapy.  Jana and I joined the three of them for supper.  Ryan visited for a short time to say hi to Brian.  Stephanie wasn’t able to visit since she was working.   We left early because Brian was going to sleep for a while.  He wanted to leave for Cincinnati around midnight.  Not sure what time he left (we were sleeping) but we do know he arrived home safe and sound.

 

Saturday Jana and I did a few things here at the house.  I did my therapy.  We watched some football.  We went to Mass at St. Patrick’s in Phenix City.  We stopped and picked up a pizza and chocolate chip cookie at Papa John’s on the way home.  It sure tasted great.  We watched the NASCAR Xfinity race and then went to bed.

 

Jana downloaded a game on her phone and we have been having the best time playing it.  It is called WordBrain.  It is very challenging.  A lot more fun than cards.  I have it on my Kindle. 

 

Now for Penny and Mattie.  They have been extremely entertaining.  We had to put up a gate to keep Mattie confined to the living room and dining room because she eats Penny’s food.  However, Penny plays with the water in her water dish.  The first time she did this I was doing my therapy and did not see what was happening.  She puts her paw in the water, splashes around then licks the water off her paw.  At one point she put both paws and her head in the dish.  She also got her paw wet and offered it to Mattie to lick.  I have taken a couple of movies of this. I didn’t post them because they take so long to load.

 

Last night Penny tried to play with Jana’s phone case, and when Jana took it away from her she used her paw to open the book Jana had sitting on the end table and started actually turning pages.  Don’t know where that came from since she has never done anything like that before.  They also chase each other around the house.  When Penny gets on top of the bookcases Mattie sits looking up at her and barks.  They are getting along just fine.  At times Penny shows Mattie that she is in charge; and at other times Mattie shows Penny she is in charge.  Just think, we have three months of this.  I can’t wait until we put up the Christmas trees and decorations.
