moving right along!

 

A picture from the wedding, Margaret, Kathryn, Charlotte Claire, Camille...

This is what reno projects look like at my house.  Fancy-like, using a paper plate for the roller paint.

Ms. Fix-it Camille removed the door handle for me.  

The color they chose:  

Symmetry, by Sherwin Williams...

NO SAD BEIGE, I said.  They assure me this isn't sad.  There are pink undertones, it will look cottage-y with the beadboard.  We'll see.  They did one coat of paint, and painted the ceiling, and are at work today, so slowly she goes.  

I need to get moving, I'm going to Target with Kathryn, to pick up that shower curtain.  I put a coat of enamel trim paint on that bathroom door that's propped up on stools in the kitchen, I gave the other side of it two coats yesterday.  One more coat later when I get home, and we can put it back on, or just wait until the flooring is in and the vanity installed.  Thankfully we have two other bathrooms.  

Ah well.  This is shaping up to be a really good week.  Tomorrow my friend Annetta is going to hang out here while her car is repaired in the garage down the road.  Kathryn and I might fit in a trip to Costco, then Thursday I turn the big 60, which I refuse to believe.  There is no way I am that old.  My mother used to say that she would look in the mirror and wonder why that old lady was looking back at her.  She was 60 when she started her nine year stint of kidney dialysis, three times a week for the rest of her life, as she passed at 69.  

We can complain about being old, but if you're reading this, you are alive, and where there is life there is hope, and...as my mother used to say, "Today is the first day of the rest of your life", so be thankful and find joy in your day, ask God what He would like for you to do.  Then listen, and be obedient!
