Life Goes On

I'm still painting! I was almost finished in the family room when I started getting sick with a sore throat. I laid on the couch Sunday and Monday looking at a half painted wall! Hopefully, I can wrap it up next week. I'm having a luncheon for a few of my girlfriends the first week in November, so I still have time. I've been in my new home for a year and none of my friends have seen it. Mainly because I'm just now getting it decorated properly. Until recently, All the 'domestic issues' kept me from really having the desire to do anything. Now that things are finally getting resolved and I plan on staying in the house, it's time to get on with my projects.

The window treatments in the family room look great. I like them even better than I thought I would. I'll take pictures soon. I found some velvety looking moss green panels for the window in the front room/sitting room at Ross. They are perfect! I still need to decide on a wall color for this room, too. It just never ends! One thing leads to another, but it's so much fun. Anyway, I need to get it all done asap.

The holiday season is fast approaching, which means Christmas Pageant, which means lots of work and rehearsals. A friend and I have been asked to re-work and repair about a dozen or so large banners to be used in the pageant. It sounds like a fun project, but will take some time. We will need to ask for volunteers to help, I'm sure. This Friday evening and all day Saturday is our Choir retreat, where we will really get into the music and CRAM! Lot's of work, but oh so rewarding!

My niece moved back home a few weeks ago. She missed her family and they missed her, in spite of their differences. She is still searching, but hopefully, she will find her way. I hope I made some sort of impression on her, although she thought I had too many 'limitations' (her word). What she called limitations I called expectations. Live and learn, Miss Sophie.

Yes, Life goes on, ya'll

When we move into our new house next year I'll holla at you if we need walls painted. ;-)

Funny how your teenage niece uses the term limitations. I'm sure like the rest of us she will come to realize why. Because you all know a hell of a lot more than we do and looking out for us.
