Accomplished Quite A Bit These Last Few Days

Today starts a very busy week.  I will be getting ready for Jana’s visit, our trip to Florida for Bradley and Brianna’s wedding, and my trip to Ohio after the wedding.  Wow!  I’m tired already just thinking about it, but excited too.

 

Bruce and Nick are back again this morning.  Bruce is doing more weedeating over at Kevin’s and Nick is cutting the front grass for both me and Kevin.  Yea!!!!

I just finished moving furniture and cleaning the living room.  I am in the process of getting my house ready for Jana and Mattie.  I had to rearrange the furniture so I could open the couch.  This is where they sleep.  I also paid a bill and started getting those organized for while I am gone.  Renea will be taking care of my mail for me.  Most everything I pay is on the computer except for two bills.  Phenix City needs to get on the internet. 

This afternoon I finally finished my apron.  WOOHOO!  I plan on keeping it for me since I am the only person I know who wears an apron except for Jana’s friend Sharon.  I think it turned out rather pretty.  Now to start on my Christmas presents and a few other things.

HAPPY FOURTH OF JULY!!!!

It’s going to be another hot one today.  Sunny humid and upper nineties.  The air conditioners are getting a workout.  Sure glad I got the window a/c in my living room.  It has really made a difference.  The front yard is looking good again.  Of course, I need to get outside and do some weeding, but that will have to wait for a cooler day.  Plan to do some inside work today.

I was very surprised that I didn’t hear more fireworks last night.  Just a few.  Today is also very quiet.  I guess no one around here is have any kind of party.  I hope this evening is quiet also, especially for the animals sake.  They get so nervous.

The dining room is finished and the kitchen almost finished.  I will complete housecleaning the kitchen tomorrow.  I’m tired!

Ryan called me this evening and asked me to go check on Lola. He said if there was a problem he would come right over.  She gets very upset over the fireworks.  It was almost 10:00 and they had started.  I went over and stayed with Lola and Copper for about 45 minutes.  She was doing fine.  It was starting to quiet down.  I hope she made it through the night okay.  I didn’t hear much of anything after I came home.

Good Morning! The kitchen is finished and it is now break time.  I did a few morning chores also.  Making all kinds of progress this morning.  I even cleaned out two drawers for Jana to put clothes in when she arrives.  I just finished the bathroom.  Accomplished a lot more today than I thought I would!
