I Have Been Busy... Well Kind Of

It has been four days since I posted the last very ugly pictures of what I was trying to do with the basement walls... they are fixed... and it is done... well 1/2 of it is done actually I have the other part to do... yes I am very slow with my painting but at least I am getting it done and it will be done before Carl gets home on Friday except for the corner where the fish tank is... I am not even trying to move that thing... but this part is done I say with a smile... and not looking all that bad either... sure smells better that is for sure... the colors are an off white and living aqua...
I decided that the TV room was starting to look like a collectors room... if we didn't have a place for it upstairs , it went there... so I spent a night packing all my scrap booking supplies into a large container and put them in a closet since it has been several months since I even had a thought of doing anything with it....and all the little boxes that everything was in was stored away as well... which means we don't need one of the shelves that we had in the room....I am actually putting some photos up on the walls... well one so far ... have to go through my collection to see what else I want up there...

A several years ago Carl was working and take this amazing photo of one of the guys welding and I got it done for him as a birthday present the following year... then two years ago we were going to his boss's for a Christmas Party and he thought that it would be nice to get one made for him... saying a welder should have a picture of a welder somewhere in his office... but when I went looking for the photo to enlarge I think I picked the wrong one... it had more smoke in the photo as the one I got done which had a pure black background...so we have him the one I gave Carl... so today though it is not the one I wanted up on the wall but still a wonderful photo... I framed it and put it in the TV room...

And the DVD shelf was moved to the other side of the room... all in order even with a list of movies on the top shelf .... and I do have to say I am so glad I got myself a NEW cordless screw drivers this week... it has come in very handy... he he to you Carl...

I also move our little fridge... where the movies were once before... and we actually have a clock on the wall now ... so we can grab a cold one as we are going to watch what ever on TV though I have to remember to get a cord or ask Carl where a short cord is for the fridge or we are only going to have warm ones...


And the next shelf is for Carl... for his Orange County Bike Collection, his tractor.... and a few other things that he has .... the books are photography books now that they are in sight maybe I will take the time to actually read a few and get some tips....

Besides that I am still sitting Robin's dogs... they will be leaving tomorrow sometimes... I am still knitting but not on baby clothes... decided to wait to see what it is... I am really getting tired of making one, green and yellow stuff.... I am making myself a shawl for when I am sitting at the computer this winter and my back gets cold....

Peter and family are on their way home... they left Saturday morning... I didn't get much time with them but the time I did get I have enjoyed very much... Jill is home... and we have been out a few times with camera and to the market... Roger and Flo took her to Moncton today to get her new camera.... not telling her but I am so jealous.. he he... You can check out her photos whoever has her on facebook.. she does an awesome job... great eye...

All is good with mom and dad... no hospital or doctors for the last while which is always nice... they have been kept busy with the swing door of all the visitors in the last month...

Well time for food... breakfast has come and gone in more ways then one.... have a great one all... Joanne
