master bath

I hand painted most of the bathroom alot of it with my left hand everything in fact except the detail work.

well this pretty little kitty is back home with me, his Grandma and his Mommy whom is soon going to live with a friend from my Wal-mart days. I am dragging my heals on getting her seen by the vet and shampooed so she can go, selfish of me ....Monday will be soon enough.
we are in the new house it is lovely, it is trashed right now but when I feel better I will get to it.
I got flowers today from Nikki, so sweet. Mom and Carrie brought us roses for the open house and Johnnie said he would have to keep me in flowers because we both liked having them....and today a florist delivers a beautiful bunch of mixed flowers....Johnnie brought them up and waited to see who had sent them...:)
silly man.....
we had doctor ats this week so I am sooo tired, Johnnie however is doing great he has finished unloading the camer and is working in his shop, having fun as he trashes the house with stuff I need to get u and take care of. just not today.
today is friday ....hopefully I will get enough rest and feel better tomorrow.
I have had help with my fishtanks, a friends son, they are doing better the 75 is still having water issues the nitrates spike over 200ppm....we have been doing 20 gallom water changes every week, but this is spring break and Dev. is gone so I will have to get other help tomorrow,.....it won't be such a large water change my body can't take it this week.
I have graduated from occupational therapy, does that mean I am cured?? or just hopeless?
who knows, I think it means I have learned how to cope and when I give myself enough rest I am able to do more.
when I am able to get things working as they are suposed to I will get pictures up here. right now we have only one of four storage units emptied and I am so slow....
Lord help me get on with life pain and all....

We have color and cabinets Feb. 1st. hopefully by March 1st we will be in . check out pictures at myspace.

December 2007

Merry HoHoHo. tis the season and all that. I have to say I am almost ready for the holiday as far as presents go. I have made most of the adults gifts this year. and it seems nice to have used my time well. and the vases came out nice. the fun in learning a new craft and the pain to work thru all part of my new life.
I sent cards this year first in several they were boxed but they were cards. I hope next year I can make cards again. It's a good goal.
House blues, tho we have the outside almost complete the inside has only insulation in the walls, this company (HiLine Homes) is a hurry up and wait company. they want you to hurry and be ready for them to do their work but they take amazing amouts of time to get workers to the house then they work 2-4 hours and leave not to return for weeks. I am discouraged that we are not going to be in by Christmas, we are now hoping for Valentines Day.
Johnnie has been working everyday on the landscaping since he tore the other house down. the new rock wall he built is beyond beautiful. words cannot describe the before and after of that lot. he is amazingly talented. he has thought it, planned it, framed it, mixed, dyed, and poured it, almost alone Zane has helped when he could.
I so look forward to being there our first night........
the changes we will make in the first year should be amazing I am looking forward to rebeginning our tradition of the mid-winter BBQ so mark your calendars for February 2009 it will be spectacular.

the picture of the old house is 3 weeks into demolition. when the cats were moved it came down fast.

The Lot
